SC Viktoria 06 Griesheim is a German football club based in Griesheim, Hesse.

History

Founded in 1906 the club enjoyed some of its best seasons through the 70s and 80s. In 1973 they advanced to the Landesliga Hessen-Süd (IV) and in their fourth season of play there emerged as champions to earn promotion to the Oberliga Hessen (III). Three seasons later in 1980–81, Viktoria Griesheim claimed the championship in that division, in a year when no promotion places were available to the Oberliga champions. That was the pinnacle as the club's achievement as they began a slide that led to an 18th-place finish and relegation in 1988. Griesheim returned to the Oberliga for a single season appearances in 1991 and 2004, but both campaigns also ended in a last place finish and relegation.

The clubplayed in the Verbandsliga Hessen-Süd (VI) as an upper table side until 2012 when a league title meant another promotion.
