The 2019-20 campaign saw Die roten Teufel navigate a turbulent and COVID-19-interrupted season to secure a 10th-place finish in the 3. Liga. Leading the line was the prolific Christian Kühlwetter, whose 14 league goals proved vital. The club found glory in the cup competitions, defeating rivals Mainz and Köln on a thrilling run to the DFB-Pokal quarter-finals, and winning the Landespokal Südwest. It was a defiant year that showcased the enduring spirit of the club and their faithful fans, with the famous Fritz-Walter-Stadion continuing to draw massive crowds.
