History

"TuS Mechtersheim" was founded on 1 March 1914 as "Viktoria Mechtersheim". Following the conclusion of World War I the club was remade as "Sportverein Mechtersheim". With the formation of an athletics department in 1930 came the adoption of the name "Turn- und Sportverein Mechtersheim". In the aftermath of World War II organizations across the country, including sports and football clubs, were ordered dissolved by occupying Allied authorities. The club was re-established as "ASV Mechtersheim" in 1946, before resuming its old identity as "Tus Mechtersheim" in March 1950.

"TuS" played through most of its history at the amateur level. The team won promotion to the Landesliga Südwest-Ost (VI) in 2001 before advancing through the Verbandsliga Südwest (V) to the Oberliga Südwest (IV) in 2004.
