TSV Grunbach is a German association football club from the town of Engelsbrand, Baden-Württemberg. The club's greatest success has been promotion to the tier five Oberliga Baden-Württemberg in 2012 but it withdrew from the league after only two seasons in 2014 despite finishing runners-up.

History

Formed in 1892 TSV Grunbach has played in local amateur football for the most part of its history. The club's rise through the league system began in 2008 with a championship in the Kreisklasse A2 Pforzheim. Three consecutive league titles from 2010 to 2012 took the club from the Kreisliga to the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg. In this league the club came thirteenth in its first season, followed by a runners-up finish in 2013–14. The latter would have allowed the club to participate in the promotion round to the Regionalliga Südwest but it declined because of the large expenses involved in modifying the stadium to Refionalliga standards.[1] After merger talks with Verbandsliga club 1. CfR Pforzheim fell through and a cooperation was agreed on instead TSV Grunbach withdrew to the tier eight Kreisliga Pforzheim instead with a number of players being transferred from TSV to 1. CfR.[2][3]
