History
For most of its history the club has been a non-descript amateur side in local football. The club had a brief spell in the Bezirksklasse in the 1980s but quickly returned to the local A- and B- Klasse.[1]

After relegation from the tier eight Kreisliga A the club spend four seasons in the Kreisliga B before starting its impressive run of five promotions in six seasons. The club won the Kreisliga B in 2009, followed by a title in the Kreisliga A in 2010. It finished runners-up in the Kreisoberliga in 2010 but was still promoted, followed by another championship in 2012, now in the Gruppenliga. In the Verbandsliga Hessen-Mitte TSV's rise came to a temporary halt in 2012–13 when the club came only seventh. The following season however, 2013–14, the club won its Verbandsliga division and earned promotion to the Hessenliga for the first time.[2]
