The VfB Unterliederbach is established in 1912 football club from the Frankfurt district Unterliederbach . The first team played from 1997 to 2000 in the highest Hessian amateur league , the Hessenliga .
history
The club was founded on April 7, 1912 under the name FC Unterliederbach in what was still an independent municipality at the time - Unterliederbach was incorporated into Höchst am Main in 1917 and finally to Frankfurt in 1928. On April 11, 1934, the club was renamed VfB Unterliederbach .
The team from the district, which is strongly influenced by the neighboring Höchst Farbwerke , was briefly represented in the top division after the First World War ( 1921/22 in the Rheinhessen district league), but did not become one of the leading clubs in the west of Frankfurt until the 1950s . In 1953/54 VfB decided the title race for the championship of the A-class Main-Taunus against SV Flörsheim for itself and rose to the 2nd amateur league Hessen, where they could hold out until 1958. The support of the team at that time were the "three Heinz" middle runner Heinz Christmann, defender Heinz Steyer and the player- coach Heinz Rückel, who came from the top division FSV Frankfurt . After relegation, however, it took a long time to return to fourth class, because after failing to qualify for the group league introduced as the new substructure of the Hessenliga in 1965, VfB Unterliederbach even crashed into the B class.
Not least thanks to consistent youth work under the club's chairman Ludwigreiber, from which the Eintracht professionals Jürgen Kalb and Harald Krämer emerged in later years , the first team managed to return to the district class in 1968, where the Unterliederbachers reached the most successful phase of the Start the club history. With 101 goals they won the district championship as early as 1968/69 and thus made it to the group league. There, in the year of promotion, another “march through” almost succeeded, because at the end of the 1969/70 season, VfB took 4th place. In the two following seasons they mixed again in the upper third of the group league, but the leap into the Hessenliga did not succeed with third or sixth place. In 1974 the blue-whites finally descended from fourth class and, with one exception (1978/79), moved at the district and district level until the end of the 1980s.
VfB Unterliederbach made a new attempt in the higher divisions when the team rose to the Hessen State League in 1989/90 and then established itself in the top group. Under the new coach Rainer Dörr in the 1995/96 season , the blue-whites initially narrowly missed the promotion after losing 2-1 to RSV Würges in the top game , but finally succeeded in the following season after only two defeats Promotion to the Hessian upper house. Shortly after the start of the 1997/98 round, they celebrated the first sporting highlight on Hans-Böckler-Strasse with a 4-2 win over the previously undefeated championship contender FSV Frankfurt and achieved a respectable result with 10th place at the end of the season. But VfB had reached its limits economically in the top amateur league, with an average attendance of only 375 paying visitors in the promotion year, which fell to 296 and 216 respectively in the two following seasons, the club's hands were financially tied. Despite the returned ex-professional Harald Krämer , they fought against relegation in 1998/99 until the last match day and the following year the class could no longer be held.
From relegation from the Hessen League in 2000, VfB Unterliederbach played in the middle of the Hessen League until June 2015 (since 2008: Association League Hessen ). Since relegation from the Association League Hessen Mitte in 2015, VfB Unterliederbach has played in the Wiesbaden group league.
