The club was previously known as ''SV Wehen'' but added ''Wiesbaden'' to its name during the summer of 2007. They left their previous ground, the Taunusstein, that same summer and have played at the BRITA-Arena ever since.

== Amateur Football (1926–1994) == 180px|thumb|Historical chart of Wehen Wiesbaden league performance The club was founded under the name of ''SV Wehen 1926 – Taunusstein'' in 1926 and disbanded by the Nazi government in 1933, although the football department was maintained by playing occasional friendly matches until 1939. The club re-established itself in 1946, following World War II. They operated both first and reserve teams from the beginning, with their first team competing in local amateur division, the B-Klasse Wiesbaden. The club's first youth team was established in 1955 and they subsequently started to use their own talented young players to strengthen the first team. By the mid-1970s, the youth department was split in ten teams with more than 150 players and a women's team was first established in 1984. Wehen won the Hessenpokal in 1988, 1996 and 2000, which gave them berths in the German Cup in those years.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.svwehen-wiesbaden.de/verein/historie.html|title=SV Wehen Wiesbaden – History|website=svwehen-wiesbaden.de|access-date= 28 May 2019}}</ref>

== Third Tier and upwards (1994–) == 120px|left|thumb|Historical crest of SV Wehen Taunusstein In 1994, the third tier of German football underwent a reform which resulted in the elevation of the Regionalliga. Wehen had finished seventh in the Oberliga Hessen in the previous year and thus became a founding member of the Regionalliga Süd. In spite of its relegation in 1995, the club managed to establish itself in the newly founded league over the next ten years.

At the end of the 2006–07 season, Wehen finished first and earned promotion to the 2.Bundesliga. Its first second-tier season saw the club finish eighth and the inauguration of its current home, Brita-Arena. In spite of a berth in the DFB Pokal quarterfinals, Wehen was relegated to the 3. Liga in 2009, which would remain the club's division for the next ten seasons.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.svwehen-wiesbaden.de/verein/historie.html|title=SV Wehen Wiesbaden Historie|website=svwehen-wiesbaden.de|access-date=29 May 2019}}</ref>

Wehen achieved a third-place finish at the end of the 2018–19 season and thereby qualified for the promotion playoffs to the 2.Bundesliga against FC Ingolstadt. After a 1–2 defeat in their home game, the team managed to carry a 3–2 victory on Ingolstadt's turf. Advancing on away goals, Wehen was promoted to the 2. Bundesliga for only the second time in club history.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.kicker.de/svww_aufsteiger-dank-einzigartigem-kampf-750325/artikel|title=SVWW: Aufsteiger dank "einzigartigem Kampf"|website=Kicker|access-date=29 May 2019}}</ref> However, the club experienced a difficult 2019–20 season and finished in 17th place, fielding the league's worst defence with 65 goals conceded. Along with Dynamo Dresden, Wehen were relegated after just one season in the second tier.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.sueddeutsche.de/sport/fussball-wiesbaden-nach-zweitliga-abstieg-zehn-abgaenge-bei-wehen-wiesbaden-dpa.urn-newsml-dpa-com-20090101-200629-99-608968|title=Nach Zweitliga-Abstieg: Zehn Abgänge bei Wehen Wiesbaden|access-date=20 November 2020|website=Süddeutsche Zeitung|date=29 June 2020 }}</ref>

On 6 June 2023, Wehen Wiesbaden secured promotion to 2. Bundesliga from 2023 to 2024 after defeating Arminia Bielefeld on aggregate 6–1 in the promotion/relegation play-off matches and returned to the second tier after three years absence.
