FSV 1913 Ludwigshafen-Oggersheim is a German association football club based in the Oggersheim district of Ludwigshafen, Rhineland-Palatinate. The club advanced to the Regionalliga Süd (III) following an Oberliga (IV) title win in 2007, but found itself overmatched at that level of competition. After struggling through two poor seasons and in increasing financial difficulty, they withdrew to 11th tier local level play in 2010–11.
The club was established in 1913 as VfR 1913 Oggersheim and in 1937 merged with SC Eintracht Oggersheim, which had been formed in 1924 as the football department of the gymnsatics club Vereinigten Turnerschaft Oggersheim, to create SpVgg Oggersheim. The following year, all of the area clubs were reorganized into a single association known as Gemeinschaft für Leibesübungen Oggersheim.
In the aftermath of World War II, occupying Allied authorities ordered the dissolution of all organizations in the country, including sports and football clubs, as part of the process of denazification. A new association was formed as ASV Oggersheim in 1945 and its football department became independent in 1949 as Fussball Sportverein Oggersheim. The footballers played as a lower tier lower side until winning their way to the third tier Amateurliga Südwest for a single season in 1963–64. FSV made a DFB-Pokal (German Cup) appearance in 1978, going out in the first round 0:3 to 1. FC Kaiserslautern in the opening round.
A 1992 Landesliga Ost (VI) title led to promotion to the Verbandsliga Südwest (V), where the club remained for five seasons before being relegated again. In 2004, FSV returned to the Verbandsliga, followed by a further promotion two years later to the Oberliga Südwest (IV). After only two seasons in this league, the club won promotion to the Regionalliga Süd (III) in 2007. They finished in last place in 2007–08, but avoided being sent down when the league was restructured, instead becoming part of the Regionalliga West (III) in 2008–09. Despite an improved performance and a 12th place result, the club decided to withdraw from the league.
