The club was founded as "FC Völklingen" on 26 April 1906 and renamed "SV Völklingen" in 1912 before folding in 1916 as a consequence of the fighting along the frontier with France in World War I. In 1919 the club was re-founded as "VfB Völklingen" and played in the Kreisliga Saar, before taking on its old name again later in the year. Like most organizations across Germany, including sports and football teams, "SVV" was dissolved after World War II at the direction of the occupying Allied authorities.
