History
WSV Donawitz
The club was founded on 1 February 1928 opgericht as Werkssportverein Donawitz, playing in green-white colours. They played their first season at the top Styrian league in 1930/31, playing against the likes of SK Sturm Graz, Grazer AK, Grazer SC and Kapfenberger SC. WSV clinched the title in 1939 but subsequently lost the playoffs for promotion to the Gauliga Ost after losing to FC Wien, Linzer ASK and WSV BU Neunkirchen. That same year, Donawitz town became part of Leoben but WSV kept its name.
After World War II, football was restored in Donawitz in 1949 and the club won another league title in 1955 to clinch promotion to the second tier of Austrian football. In 1958 WSV Donawitz won promotion to the top tier, only to be relegated back after two years.
DSV Alpine
In 1970 the club was renamed WSV Alpine Donawitz and after a year they won promotion back to the country's top tier. On 3 May 1971, the club was renamed again to Donawitzer SV Alpine or just DSV Alpine. They came 6th in the league in 1972 and 1974, but after the 1973/74 season the club was demoted to the 2nd tier after the number of teams in the league was decreased from 17 to 10 clubs and only one team from Styria (Sturm Graz) was included. They only got back to the top tier in 1984 and remained there until 1986 en had they had another spell from 1991 until 1992. They totalled 10 years in the Austrian Bundesliga.
DSV Leoben
After relegation in 1992, board members of DSV Alpine and 1. FC Leoben decided to merge and the new club DSV Leoben was established on 22 June 1992. Their first success was reaching the 1994/95 Austrian Cup final, which they lost to local giants SK Rapid Wien with former player Peter Guggi at the helm.
They were demoted to the third tier Regionalliga Mitte in 2009, after going into administration.
