A bit of history:
Founded in 1907, the team has played for most of its history as an unknown local side, although they did manage three seasons in the Bezirksliga Bayern, from 1930 to 1933, and two single season appearances in the Gauliga Bayern (1940-41, 1942-43) one of sixteen top-flight division established in the re-organization of German football under the Third Reich. Kickers put on some strong performances through the 50s in the Amateurliga Bayern (II-III) but never quite managed a breakthrough. Through the 60s and on into the early 80s the club played as a third division side with the exception of a single season (1977-78) played in the 2. Bundesliga after their divisional title win in the Oberliga Bayern (III) in '77. By 1983 financial difficulties contributed to a slide to fourth division play in the Landesliga Bayern-Nord which became a fifth tier circuit in 1994. Two difficult seasons over 2002-2004 saw the club descend through the Bezirksoberliga Unterfranken (VI) to the Bezirksliga Unterfranken (VII). Kickers have since recovered and returned to the Oberliga Bayern on the strength of a 2nd place in the 2007-08 Landesliga season. The club will meet local rival Würzburger FV there for the first Würzburg league derby since 1998-99.
