The tiny town of Rottweil, nestled in the Baden-Württemberg region of Germany, is gearing up for a busy spring as local sports club FSV Zepfenhan 1953 e.V. Prepares for its annual general meetings and expands its fitness offerings. The club, deeply rooted in the Zepfenhan district, is not only focused on its established football and youth programs but too actively seeking to broaden its appeal with new gymnastics initiatives. This commitment to community engagement and athletic development underscores the vital role FSV Zepfenhan plays in the social fabric of the region.
FSV Zepfenhan, founded in 1953, currently fields two active men’s football teams and boasts a robust youth program, often collaborating with SV Schörzingen to ensure comprehensive coverage across all age groups, including a dedicated C-Juniorinnen (girls’ youth) team. According to the city of Rottweil’s website, the club’s sporting facilities are located on Neukircher Strasse 4, with administrative offices at Schömberger Str. 13, 78628 Rottweil-Neukirch. Angelo Singer serves as the club’s chairman, and can be contacted via email at vorstand(at)fsv-zepfenhan.de. The club’s official website, www.fsv-zepfenhan.de, serves as a central hub for information, though the club notes that current updates are primarily shared through their social media channels.
Expanding Fitness Options: A New Gymnastics Group
Responding to community interest, FSV Zepfenhan is exploring the possibility of launching an additional gymnastics group. Currently, the club offers two well-established gymnastics classes led by Vera Bechtold and Barbara Naumann, alongside a senior gymnastics session on Tuesday afternoons facilitated by Thea Kummer and Marianne Schatz. To further expand these offerings, the club has enlisted the expertise of Jana Naumann, a trained physiotherapist, to lead a new group. The initiative specifically aims to attract women aged 20 and over, though all ages are welcome.
The new group will operate under the motto “from yoga to tabata,” suggesting a diverse and adaptable workout regimen. Introductory sessions are scheduled to begin on Thursday, February 26th, 2026, at 8:00 p.m. In the Zepfenhan gym. Participation is free for existing club members, while non-members will be asked to contribute a fee of €30. Notably, prior registration is not required; interested individuals are encouraged to simply attend the first session. This open-door approach reflects the club’s desire to make fitness accessible to a wider audience.
Annual General Meetings Scheduled for March 6th
Both the FSV Zepfenhan and its support association will hold their annual general meetings on Friday, March 6th, 2026, at the Zepfenhan gym and festival hall. The support association’s meeting is slated to begin at 7:00 p.m., while the FSV Zepfenhan meeting will commence at 7:30 p.m. Both meetings are open to members, athletes, sponsors, and friends of the club, signaling a commitment to transparency and community involvement.
The support association’s agenda includes a welcome address, reports from the chairman and treasurer, an auditor’s report, a vote of confidence, a resolution on pending applications, and an open forum for miscellaneous business. Applications for consideration at the support association meeting must be submitted in writing to Helmut Frommer at Wolfgraben 10, 78628 Rottweil-Zepfenhan, by February 27th, 2026.

Youth Football Successes
Beyond the senior and fitness programs, FSV Zepfenhan’s youth teams continue to demonstrate promising results. A recent report highlighted the success of the club’s Bambini team at a tournament in Bisingen, hosted by FC 48 Steinhofen. Despite fielding a team hampered by illness, the young players showcased considerable skill and determination. Julian Zeiser led the scoring with an impressive 24 goals, supported by Benno Müller (2 goals), Jonas Hess (1 goal), Tamara Prochatschek (1 goal), and Emilian Wittich. Coaches Alex and Daniel praised Jonas and Emilian for their strong performances in their first tournament appearance, emphasizing the importance of continued development and encouragement.
The club’s active presence on social media, including Facebook, provides regular updates on match results, club news, and community events. A recent post celebrated the championship win of FCS Sübia, acknowledging the challenge ahead for FSV Zepfenhan as they strive to maintain their own league standing.
FSV Zepfenhan’s multifaceted approach – encompassing football, youth development, and fitness initiatives – positions it as a cornerstone of community life in Rottweil. The upcoming annual general meetings and the launch of the new gymnastics group represent significant steps in the club’s ongoing commitment to providing opportunities for participation and fostering a vibrant sporting culture.
