SpVgg Helios München, now playing as SV Helios Daglfing München, is a German association football club from the city ofMunich, Bavaria. The club was established1 March 1919 out of the football department of Turn- und Sportverein Jahn München. In October of that year, the departed footballers of TSV were replaced by the arrival of the footballers from the Münchener Sportclub, who had originally played as Bayern Munich. In 1923, this group departed in turn, restoring Bayern as an independent club, and opening the way for Helios to rejoin parent TSV. The reunion was short-lived and Helios again went its own way as a separate side sometime later in the 1920s.
History
In 1924, Helios managed to advance to the Kreisliga Südbayern, but through most of their history remained part of lower tier local competition. In the early 1950s and on into the early 1960s, the team spent eight seasons as part of the Amateurliga Bayern or Amateurliga Südbayern where they finished third in 1962 and 1963. Following the formation of the new national first divisionBundesliga and the five second divisionRegionalligen in 1963, the Amateurliga Bayern became a third tier circuit. Helios earned only mid- and lower table finishes over their next nine campaigns and were finally relegated in 1972. The club spent one season at the division four Landesliga Bayern-Süd, but was immediately relegated again, now to the Bezirksliga Oberbayern-Ost. At this level too, the club lasted for only one season before going down to the A-Klasse after coming 15th. On 1 August 1997, the club merged with Sportverein 1929 Daglfing to create SV Helios Daglfing München. Since 2009, SV remains active in the Kreisklasse München.
