TSV Marl-Hüls is a German association football club from the town of Marl, North Rhine-Westphalia.
In 1954 TSV took out the German amateur football championship and also made a losing appearance in the final of this competition in 1972. The club's most successful era was from 1960 to 1963 when it played in the tier one Oberliga West. In recent history the club's greatest success has been promotion to the tier five Oberliga Westfalen in 2015.
Apart from football the club also offers other sports like table tennis, volleyball and badminton.
Formed in 1912 the club played as a non-descript side in local football for the most part of the first forty years of its existence. It began a rise through the league system when it won promotion to the tier three Landesliga Westfalen in 1949. TSV played at this level until 1954, generally achieving good results which culminated in promotion to the 2. Oberliga West. It also qualified for the German amateur football championship where the club defeated SpVgg Neu-Isenburg 6–1 in the 1954 final.
TSV Marl-Hüls played in the second tier 2. Oberliga for the next six seasons until 1960 and, after a difficult first season, established itself as a strong side. In 1959–60 the club finished runners-up and earned promotion to the tier one Oberliga West. In the Oberliga TSV struggled, finishing twelfth, fourteenth and sixteenth in its three seasons there. In 1962–63 it was the only Oberliga West club not to apply for a place in the new Bundesliga when it was introduced.
