History
[

]
1. FC Kaiserslautern Amateure made a first appearance in the third-tier
Amateurliga Sudwest
in 1957. They won the championship in 1960 and 1968, but were not entitled to promotion to professional level. In the intervening seasons, Kaiserslautern Amateure were often fighting for relegation rather than the league championship, with their best finishes being runners-up in 1970 and 1973.
[1]
The latter allowed the team entry to the
German amateur football championship
, where they lost 1?0 to
SpVgg Bad Homburg
in the final.
[2]
In 1978, when the
Oberliga Sudwest
was introduced, Kaiserslautern Amateure qualified for this new league which it would belong to, with the exception of the 1982?83 season, until 1992. They won promotion back to the Oberliga in 1983 and 1994 with titles in the
Verbandsliga Sudwest
. The team became a
yo-yo team
between the Oberliga and the
Regionalliga
, a league newly introduced in 1994. They played in the
Regionalliga West/Sudwest
until 2000, in the
Regionalliga Sud
in 2007, and the
Regionalliga West
until 2012. Kaiserslautern II had its best Regionalliga result in the latter, when they finished as runners-up in 2009. In between, the team was relegated from the Regionalliga in 1996, 2000, 2004 and 2007, but won promotion back to the league each time.
In 2012, Kaiserslautern II became part of the new
Regionalliga Sudwest
, where they competed until 2017 when they were relegated to the fifth-tier
Oberliga Rheinland-Pfalz/Saar
.
Kaiserslautern II have also won the
Southwestern Cup
on three occasions, in 1979, 1997 and 2008, as well as having made a number of losing final appearances. Through this competition, the club qualified for the
German Cup
on three occasions: 1979?80, 1981?82 and 1997?98. They reached the second round twice and were also drawn against their own first team in the 1997?98 season, losing 5?0.
