The current club dates back to 1948, when the two clubs Westmark 05 Trier and Eintracht Trier 06 agreed to a merger. Although the club played in the top level regional league in the 1950s, results were generally medicocre. As a charter member of the Regionalliga Südwest, Trier started off strong, but by 1973 they dropped down to the Amateurliga. This led to a mini-revival, and by the late 1970s, Eintracht was playing in the 2.Liga-Süd. This lasted about 5 years, and then Trier would play almost 20 years at the 3rd division level.
The 97-98 season was one of the better campaigns in memory. There was a semi-"fusion" with FSV Salmrohr to start the season. This basically meant that all the good players transferred to Trier, and Salmrohr got stuck with the short end of the stick. Through the early season, Trier challenged for the title, but finally fell out of contention. The big news was the sensational run through the DFB Cup, as they stunned UEFA Cup champs Schalke AND Champions League winners Borussia Dortmund. They finally succumbed in the semifinals in penalties to MSV Duisburg.
Trier entered the 98-99 campaign as one of the favorites, and despite a slow start, lived up fully to the role. Critical was a tough 1-0 away win at rival Siegen. However, in the promotion playoffs, Trier succumbed to both Offenbach and Osnabrueck. The next season Eintracht never really got rolling, and although they easily qualified for the new combined Regionalliga, they never threatened the top teams. Since the Southwest teams will now be seeded in the southern division of the Regionalliga, Trier's relatively successful match up with western teams comes to an end. Nevertheless, after a short stay in the 3rd level, Trier made the jump to the 2.Liga - their highest performance ever. They surprised many by managing to stay up for 3 seasons. Although they then dropped a couple of divisions, one can expect them to elevator around the 3rd division in the forseeable future.
