History

The club was established on 14 May 1902 as ''Fußball Club Germania Durlach''. During World War II they were briefly partnered with '' Fußball Club Phönix Karlsruhe'' and played from 1943 to 1945 as ''Kriegspielgemainschaft Karlsruhe''. Following the war occupying Allied authorities ordered the dissolution of most organizations, including sports and football clubs. ''ASV'' was re-established on 1 June 1946, and in addition to their former membership, included the memberships of ''VfR Durlach'', ''Turnerschaft Durlach'', and ''TG Durlach''. The following year they were joined by ''Tennisclub Durlach''. Throughout the early existence of the association, the footballers played as an unheralded local side in lower-tier competition. ''ASV'' fielded competitive sides in the third division
