In 1919 the SC 1919 Stadtlohn was founded. A year later, the game club DJK 1920 Stadtlohn was founded. Both associations were forced to merge in 1933 under the name TuS Stadtlohn, which was renamed SuS 1945 Stadtlohn on 19 July 1945, and has had its current name since 1947. The former game club DJK 1920 founded an independent club in 1952 with the DJK Stadtlohn.
The first squad of its soccer division played in the Oberliga Westfalen for 13 seasons, from 1994 to 1995 through 2016–17. Its best Oberliga Westfalen league final position was the 5th spot. In 2018–19 it relegated from the 14th place in Landesliga Westfalen 4. In 1919–20 it plays in the Bezirksliga of Westphalia.[3] [4] [5]
The club consists of twelve departments: athletics, sports badges, running, handball, courses, gymnastics, swimming, trampoline, dancing, table tennis, triathlon, and football. Another department is the youth team (J-Team), which represents the interests of the younger athletes in the club.
