History

The club was initially formed as Alzenauer Fußball Club and joined gymnastics club Turn- und Sport Alzenau as that club's football department on 16 September 1922 before again becoming independent in 1923 as FC Bayern Alzenau. After World War II the club was re-established as SKG Alzenau before again taking on its pre-war name in 1947.

Since 1983 the club has played as a fifth tier side, first in the Landesliga Bayern-Nord and later in the Landesliga Hessen-Süd. Like the nearby club Viktoria Aschaffenburg, FC Bayern Alzenau is a Bavarian side playing in the state league of Hesse against closer, neighbouring cities. This also reflects in part the history of the region, not traditionally part of Bavaria. The club slipped as low as the Bezirksliga Gelnhausen (VII) in 1998 before working its way back up. The team enjoyed its greatest sporting success with promotion to the Hessenliga (IV) in 2006 after a second place Landesliga finish and subsequent advance through the promotion playoffs.

In 2008–09, FC Bayern Alzenau achieved promotion to the Regionalliga Süd despite coming second behind SC Waldgirmes, as only two clubs applied for a Regionalliga license, Alzenau and Rot-Weiss Frankfurt.[1] Alzenau was unable to survive at this level however, coming last in the Regionalliga and being relegated again immediately, back to the Hessenliga.[2]

After another promotion in 2011, back to the Regionalliga, the club was grouped into the new Regionalliga Südwest at the end of the 2011–12 season, a league which replaced the Regionalliga Süd in the region. At this level it lasted for only one season before being relegated back to the Hessenliga.
