History
TuS Niederkirchen was founded in 1900. Since 1969 the club had a women's football department, which was a member of the women's Bundesliga at its inception. After winning the championship in 1992–93 the club was relegated to the Regionalliga in 2000. Several seasons of promotions and relegations followed. In the last season at TuS Niederkirchen the club finished 9th in the 2. Bundesliga. When the club's management decided not to apply for a license for the next season, but did not inform the players about that decision, the entire women's section left the club to found their own. On 25 April 2008 1. FFC 08 Niederkirchen was established, and began playing in the Regionalliga Südwest in 2008-09.
