Currently playing in the Kreisliga A (IX), the team was a second division side during World War II and appeared for a single season (1943–44) in the Gauliga Hessen-Nassau (I).〔Grüne, Hardy (2001). Vereinslexikon. Kassel: AGON Sportverlag ISBN 3-89784-147-9〕 ==History== The club was established on 25 May 1900 as ''Fußball-Club Germania Offenbach''. They merged with ''FC Melita 1900 Offenbach'' in 1917 to become ''Verein für Rasenspiele 1900 Offenbach''. On 27 October 1921 ''VfR'' joined ''Kickers Offenbach'' to play as ''VfR Kickers Offenbach'' before again becoming an independent club in 1925. ''VfR'' was forced out of its grounds by the Nazis in 1937 and in order survive the club merged with ''Sportverein Offenbach'' to form ''Verein für Bewegungsspiele Offenbach'' on 21 May 1938. ''SV'' brought together the traditions of a number of local sides; established in 1902 as ''FC Viktoria Offenbach'', during World War I the team played as part of the combined wartime side ''Kriegsvereinigung FC Arminia-Viktoria Offenbach'' alongside ''FC Arminia 1904 Offenbach''. The union was formalized on 26 March 1917 with creation of ''Offenbacher Fußballverein 02''. That club in turn merged with ''Ballspiel-Club 1899 Offenbach'' in 1922 to form ''SV 1899 Offenbach'' before the two clubs again went their own ways in 1927. ''VfB'' made two failed attempts to advance to first division Gauliga play in 1939–40 and 1941–42 before winning promotion in 1943. They played a single season at that level and were relegated after finishing 9th.〔Grüne, Hardy (1996). Vom Kronprinzen bis zur Bundesliga.
