history

The club was founded under the sign of football, and 1. FC Bamberg, together with 1. FC Nuremberg, organized the first public football event in Franconia . On September 29, 1901, the 1. FC Nürnberg team, founded in 1900, played their first official game against Bamberg on the Schützenwiese. This game had been announced in the local press and attracted several hundred spectators. Nuremberg won 2-0, the next day the Bamberger Zeitung wrote that the audience had seen a "strangely interesting spectacle".

1. FC Bamberg, together with 1. FC Nürnberg, FC Franken Nürnberg and FV Würzburg 04, were also part of the first official round of league matches in Franconia. The “Gau Nordbayern”, organized by the Association of South German Football Associations (VSFV), started playing with five teams on October 1, 1905. It was not until 1910/11 that a single-track top division was created with the Ostkreis League , which roughly comprised Bavaria. Bamberg was one of the founding members and ended the first season with a ninth place. At the end of the 1911/12 season they were ninth again, but the league should be reduced to eight clubs. In the relegation games they got the short straw against the Würzburger Kickers and from then on they played in lower-class leagues.

It was not until 1942 that they returned to the top division, the then newly formed Gauliga Nordbayern . Reinforced by numerous football players from other cities stationed with the Bamberg tank regiment, they achieved sixth place in 1942/43 and in 1943/44 the team was even able to fight for the championship with 1. FC Nürnberg for a long time. While the first leg in Bamberg was won 3-1, they lost 1:12 in the decisive game in Nuremberg three game days before the end. At this point in time, almost all of the Bamberg tank soldiers were deployed in the war. The following season was then canceled.

After the end of the Second World War, the Oberliga Süddeutschland was founded as the top division , in which the Bambergers were initially not accepted. Classified in the second-class Bavarian regional league, however, they immediately rose to the title of champions and were able to compete in the top class not only against their old Franconian rivals from Nuremberg and Fürth in 1946/47, but also with clubs such as Eintracht Frankfurt , VfB Stuttgart and FC Bayern Munich trade fair. In the end, being 18th (of 20) with 28-48 points, only 4 points were missing to keep the league.

The football men were still second class for the next few years. The prompt return to the league was missed, in the qualifying games the Bamberg failed at BC Augsburg . With the championship in the amateur league of Bavaria in 1949/50, the leap into the promotion round to the upper league succeeded again, but as 6th with only one win out of five defeats you had no chance. In 1956 there was then even the descent from the upper league substructure, the 2nd league south, to which the Bambergers returned again for the seasons 1958/59 and 1959/60 . With the relegation in 1960, however, the second division for the Bamberg footballers was over.

But also the third division of the amateur league Northern Bavaria or from the introduction of the football league of the amateur league Bavaria could only hold Bamberg until 1968 . This was followed by over ten years of fourth class in the Bavarian State League North, interrupted only by the brief return to the amateur league for the 1975/76 season . 1981 succeeded again in the return to the third division. In the amateur league of Bavaria , Bamberg hoped to build on more glorious times. The outward sign was the construction of the new clubhouse, which, however, also contributed to the club's debt. The first season was still seventh, but the following final positions 11 and 12 did not contribute to satisfaction. When an agency through which 1. FC Bamberg had borrowed many players got into financial difficulties in the 1985/86 season, many of these players left the club. Half of the youth team, including Harald Spörl , stepped in, but could not prevent relegation.

Then the free fall of 1. FC Bamberg began. After the league relegation, the relegation from the regional league followed promptly. For the years 1987 to 1992, the club annals recorded fifth-rate football in the regional league, in which, after two years of the regional league 1992 to 1994, they played again from 1994 to 1997. Since 1997, FC has been back in the Landesliga Nord in Bavaria. In the 2005/06 season the Bambergers celebrated their greatest success in 20 years with a second place behind the far superior leader SpVgg Bayern Hof . With a victory in the decisive relegation game against TuS Regensburg, the season was crowned on June 13, 2006 with promotion to the Bayern League .

After the first two games in the 2006/07 Bayern league season, Bamberg was able to establish itself at the top of the table for a long time. At the end of the season, the Bayern league climber was in 5th place in the table.

The new merger club 1. FC Eintracht Bamberg then took over the place in the Bayern League .
