history
The association was founded in 1911. 22 years later, the members of the free gymnastics club Hochstadt, which was banned as a workers' sports club, joined the 1st FCH, which one year later had to merge with the gymnastics club Hochstadt founded in 1887 to form the gymnastics and sports community 87/11 Hochstadt . This was dissolved at the end of the Second World War and re-established as the Hochstadt sports community . In 1954 there was a split into 1. FC Hochstadt and TV Hochstadt .
For decades, the 1. FC only played at district level before the team reached the Hessen-Mitte group league in 1967 after two consecutive promotions . There the Hochstädter were runner-up with one point behind TuS Naunheim . A year later, the championship and promotion to the amateur league of Hesse followed . Around 4,500 spectators followed the decisive 4-2 victory of the Hochstädter over FC Hanau 93 . In addition, the 1st FCH provided the top scorer in the group league with Gerhard Krafft, who scored 42 goals alone . The team was able to establish itself quickly in the amateur league and reached its sporting zenith with fourth place in the 1972/73 season.
In the second half of the 1970s, the club got more and more into the relegation zone. Finally, in 1981, he was relegated to the national league. After two relegations in a row, the 1st FCH 1984 arrived in the district league A. Two years later, the team returned to the district league and played a friendly match against the Sri Lankan national soccer team in Colombo , which ended 2-2. In the following years, the club commuted between the district league and district league and briefly returned to the regional league in the 2002/03 season. Since then the club has played in the group league Frankfurt-Ost .
