VfR Aalen is a German football club based in Aalen, Baden-Württemberg. The club was founded in 1921 and has led and largely unremarked existence as a lower division side. In 1939 Aalen was promoted to the first division Gauliga Württemberg, one of sixteen top-flight leagues established through the re-organization of German football under the Third Reich. They played there until 1945, typically finishing in the lower half of the table.
After the war Aalen played in the third tier Landesliga Württemberg and in 1951 captured the title in what had become the Amateurliga Württemberg (III). After a single season appearance in the 2.Oberliga Süd in 1951-52 they returned to play in the III and IV divisions over the next two decades. The club slipped to fifth division play in the late 70s for a couple of seasons before recovering itself. At the turn of the millennium Aalen managed an advance to the third division Regionalliga Süd and have played at that level since the 1999-2000 season.
The football team is part of a larger sports club which also offers its members gymnastics, table tennis, and cheerleading.
