They entered the 99/00 season as one of the favorites to win, but about halfway through the season, disaster struck. The club ran out of money, and all the players, who hadn't been paid, were declared free agents. Many of them left, and with a reduced roster, they managed to salvage the season. However, by 2002, it was over. The club decided to voluntarily drop down to the 6th division Landesliga and start over. Apparently it was a good choice, as they immediately regained promotion back to the Verbandsliga, but had a full season to get their act together.
