[edit] History

TuS Mechtersheim was founded on 1 March 1914 as Viktoria Mechtersheim. Following the conclusion of World War I the club was remade as Sportverein Mechtersheim. With the formation of an athletics department in 1930 came the adoption of the name Turn- und Sportverein Mechtersheim. In the aftermath of World War II organizations across the country, including sports and football clubs, were ordered dissolved by occupying Allied authorities. The club was re-established as ASV Mechtersheim in 1946, before resuming its old identity as Tus Mechtersheim in March 1950.

TuS played through most of its history at the amateur level. The team won promotion to the Landesliga Südwest-Ost (VI) in 2001 before advancing through the Verbandsliga Südwest (V) to the Oberliga Südwest (IV) in 2004.
