Founded in 1909, so they've been around awhile. Never have really amounted to much however. The highpoint of the club was probably 1988-89, when they played in the 3rd division Oberliga Nordrhein, finishing last. In 1998, they started out hot, raising hopes about a possible jump to the Oberliga, but then came back to earth.
Apparently the club reverted back to strict amateur status, and got rid of all player contracts.
