Later that yearSuSwas joined byFußball-Club Preußen 1906 Andernach– believed to be the city's first organized football club – and in 1911 byGymnasial Fußball Klub 1908 Andernach.The team captured its first city title in 1916. The club continued to grow through the 1920s, merging withSport Club Eintracht 1921 Andernachin 1921 and withFC Rhenania 1910 Andernachon 13 September 1922 to becomeSpiel- und Sportvereinigung 1867 Andernach.

In 1933 German football was reorganized under theThird Reichinto 16 top flight regional divisions known as Gauligen.SpVggfinished atop the Bezirksliga Mittelrhein, Gruppe 5 in 1936 and then won a promotion playoff to advance to the Gauliga Mittelrhein, but spent only a single season there before being sent down after an 11th-place finish. They had a successful Bezirksliga campaign in 1937–38, but failed in their attempt to return to Gauliga play when they finished second in the subsequent playoff round.

On 11 December 1938,SpVggwas joined byTurnerbund 1867 Andernachto becomeSpVgg 1867 Andernach.They won their way back to first division play in 1939 and earned consecutive third-place results in 1942 and 1943. However, they withdrew from play because they were unable to field a full side under wartime conditions.[2]

Following the waroccupying Allied authoritiesordered the dissolution of most organizations in the country, including sports and football clubs. The former membership ofSpVggwas reorganized asSportclub 1945 Andernachon 14 September 1945 before resuming their pre-war identity on 26 July 1947. They became part of theOberliga Südwest-Nord(I) in the 1947–48 season.

In March 1950 the club broke up into the pre-war sidesSpVgg 1910 AndernachandTurnerbund 1867 Andernach.SpVggplayed one more season in the Oberliga before they were relegated to the2nd Oberliga Südwest(II). They played second division football throughout the 1950s and into the early 1960s with exception of a two-year turn back in the Oberliga in 1955–57. In 1961 they finished in 15th place and slipped into theAmateurliga Rheinland(III).

SpVggfielded strong sides in the Amateurliga and captured titles there in1971and1973.They were able to advance through the subsequent promotion round playoffs to theRegionalliga Südwest(II) only once, in 1971. Their 1971–72 Regionalliga campaign was a failure and after a 16th-place finish they were returned to the Amateurliga where they most of the next three decades.
