In 97-98, despite making the grade in the Regionalliga Nord, financial difficulties made the club decide to accept voluntary relegation down to the 5th division. This move backfired, aas they finished last and dropped another division. In 99-00, they recovered to win the Landesliga and regain a level.

The official site is
www.vfl93.de. Basically useless unless you're interested in rolling around gymnastics or other crap.
Fortunately, the
soccer section also had it's own site, www.vfl93-liga.de , which was nicely done, but it's apparently dead. (2007)
