Success on the field was very limited. Basically they ended up bouncing between the 3rd and 2nd divisions. However, in the early 1990s, they had fallen down to the 4th level, but finally climbed back up to the 3rd with a playoff win over Heider SV in 1997.
The 1998-99 season was difficult, as Arminia failed to impress. They played next season quite decently, but were never in contention to make the new combined Regionalliga.

Yellow and blue. Also Blue jerseys, white shorts. The club colors are
green and white, but back when the club was founded, local soccer
bureaucrats forced them to play in different colors. In 2004, they
were playing in green with white trim. | Nicknames |
| Stadium |
Bischofsholer Damm. Capacity: 18,000 (800 seats) | Originally buit in 1918. In 1976 the old Tribune had fallen into disrepair and was torn down. The club president used his connections to get the roof from Dortmund's recently closed "Rote Erde" and this was installed. Tickets |

Wolters-Pilsener, but

local brewery. |
Pub Grub |
The club runs it's own Gaststätte, open M-F 16:00-23:00, and
one weekend homegames.
| The Net |
The official site is finally online, www.arminiahannover.de .
Although late to press, it looks like it will be pretty decent. Also
decent is the
supporter's page www.bischofshol.de .
Another useful fanpage
www.arminia-hannover.de , which is actually hannoverfoto.de, a
photography studio. But they build an unofficial site (click on the
Arminia
logo.)
