History

The club was formed on 16 March 2001 when two local clubs, TSV Egestorf and TSV Langreder, merged to form the current club in an effort to combine the extensive youth department of the former with the senior team of the latter.^[1]

The new club took started out in the tier seven Bezirksliga Hannover 1 but won promotion from this level to the Landesliga Hannover in 2003. It spent the next nine seasons there, with the league renamed to Bezirksoberliga Hannover from 2006 to 2010. After finishing runners-up in 2008 and 2010 and missing out on promotion Germania won the league in 2011–12 and earned promotion to the Niedersachsenliga for the first time. At this level the club finished sixth in its first season and gradually improving every year. A second-place finish in 2015–16 and success in the promotion round moved the club up to the tier four Regionalliga Nord for the first time.^[2] They were relegated in 2019.

The club qualified for the final of the Lower Saxony Cup and thereby directly for the first round of the 2016–17 DFB-Pokal.^[3] They lost 6–0 in the first round at home to Hoffenheim.^[4]
