A once obscure club that has moved into the second spot of Oberhausen fussball...
The roots go back to 1924, when Adler was founded from ex-members of the Catholic Youth Group of Rothebusch. By 1926, it was known as Deutschejudgendkraft (DJK) Adler Osterfeld. When the Nazis banned all DJK organizations in 1934, it became VfB Osterfeld-Rothebusch. After WW-II it became simply Adler Osterfeld.
In the late 1990s, Adler moved up into the Oberliga, and remained a strong presence for 4 seasons. However, the increased cost proved to be too much of a burden, and the club decided to accept voluntary relegation 2 divisions lower in 2005.
