A bit of history:
It was established in 1895 as the gymnastics and sports club Turn- und Sportverein Crumbach and formed a football department in 1924. In 1933, the association was joined by the membership of the worker’s sports club Arbeiter Turn- und Sportverein 1892 Ochshausen which, like other left-leaning workers groups, was dissolved for political reasons under the Nazi regime.
Following World War II occupying Allied authorities ordered the dissolution of all organizations in the country, including sports and football clubs. The membership of TSV became part of the newly formed Freie Sport- und Kulturgemeinde Lohfelden which was created on October 14, 1945. Later, in 1946, the former footballers of TSV Crumbach established themselves as 1. FSC in der FSK Lohfelden.
The team took part in lower level local competition until advancing to the Landesliga Hessen Nord in 1968. FSC was immediately relegated but returned to Landesliga play in 1971 and played at that level over most of the next two decades. They were first promoted to the Oberliga Hessen (IV) in 1993 and competed there until relegated in 2001. Their best result during this period was a fifth place finish in 2000. FSC returned to the Oberliga for a single season turn in 2002-03 and were most recently promoted in 2007.
Since 1959 1. FSC has played its home matches in the Nordhessenstadion which has a capacity of 3,500. Currently the team is famous for having 5 players in the first team that play for Afghanistan national football team.
