history
The club went back to the TV Hof founded in 1861 , which founded a football department in 1893. This was the first organized football team in Franconia . The footballers became independent on December 21, 1903 as SpVgg in the TV Hof. As part of the clean divorce , the footballers, who were popularly known as the "Spotzer", split off in 1924 as SpVgg Hof. In addition to the soccer department, the SpVgg founded an athletics department in 1926 and later a department for women's gymnastics . The handball department was dissolved in 1990.
In 1921, the "Spotzer" made it to the top division for the first time, but had to relegate again in 1922 . The second ascent to first class in 1929 was followed by direct relegation . With Eugen Kling , the club later produced a German national player (one game, October 2, 1927 ). After the end of the war, the SpVgg qualified in 1963 for the newly created Landesliga Nord . Three years later, they were promoted to the Bayern League, where the team had to be relegated as the penultimate . Several years in the midfield of the regional league followed before the early 1970s were marked by the relegation battle.
In 1974 the “Spotzer” only remained in the state league because of the withdrawal of SC Kreuzwertheim. After a third place a year later, in 1977, after a playoff defeat against FK Selb, they were relegated to the district league . On July 1, 2005, membership dissolved the club and joined FC Bayern Hof , which was renamed SpVgg Bayern Hof .
