The FC Singen 04 is a German association football club from the city of Singen, Baden-Württemberg. Established 4 August 1904. the club merged with Fußball-Club Radolfzell in 1908 to form FC Radolfzell-SIngen. That union was ended on 10 March 1910 and in 1917 04 was joined by Sportclub Singen.
FCS 04 won its first title in 1923, taking the championship in the Bezirksliga Ost, and in 1930 it won the Schwarzwaldliga, but could not find its way to the highest level of play in the Bezirksliga Württemberg-Baden. In 1933 German football was reorganized under the Third Reich into 16 top flight Gauligen and in 1939 FSC attempted to qualify for the Gauliga Baden but were beaten by VfR Achern (2:3, 5:3). The team also took part for the first time in national cup play in the Tschammerpokal tournament predecessor to today's DFB-Pokal (German Cup). From 1942–45, during World War II, the club played as part of the combined wartime side Kreigspielgemeinschaft Singen/Gottmadingen alongside SpVgg Gottmadingen and Reichsbahn SV Singen.
Following the war occupying Allied authorities ordered the dissolution of most organizations in Germany, including sports and football clubs. New clubs soon emerged and FCS was reorganized as Sportverein Singen. In May 1946, the former memberships of several other Singen clubs, including Stadtturnverein Singen, Freie Turnerschaft Singen, and Roter Sport Singen, joined SV to play as Sportgemeinde Eintracht Singen. Both TSS and RSS were former worker's clubs that were banned by the regime in 1933 as politically undesirable.
Eintracht became part of the Oberliga Südbaden-Ost (I) for the 1945–46 season and the following year played in the Landesliga Südbaden-Ost. These circuits were not part of general German domestic competition, but were instead administered as part of a separate competition organized within the French zone of occupation. In 1947, the team returned to top flight competition in the French-controlled Oberliga Südwest-Süd and in 1948 captured the South Baden Cup. The following year the team reassumed its traditional identity as FCS 04.
