History
The club was founded in 1958 and played in amateur leagues for the first few decades. In the mid-1990s, the club managed to establish itself in the Regionalliga (3rd division) with a mixture of renowned, experienced players and local “youngsters”. In 1998, the team was promoted to the 2nd Bundesliga South and established itself there in the following years. The 1999–2000 season ended with a thrilling final on the last match day, with the team being promoted to the 1st Bundesliga. However, the club was immediately relegated again. In the 2004–05 season, the team was able to regain its place in the 1st Bundesliga. The team remained undefeated the whole season.[https://www.ttc-maberzell.de/fileadmin/user_upload/News/Chronik_2008.pdf 50 Jahre TTC 1958–2008]
