Frankfurt ,Hesse .Predecessor side "Sportverein Oberrad" was formed in 1905 out of the union of the clubs " _de. Viktoria Oberrad", " _de. Kickers Oberrad" and " _de. Sportclub Hellas". In 1933 this club merged with " _de. Ballspielclub Oberrad" to form " _de. Spielvereinigung 05 Frankfurt-Oberrad"
By the end of the 1930s the club had advanced to play in the second division Bezirksliga. The destruction during

SG Oberrad" before re-claiming its original name a year later.The football team is an elevator club moving frequently between fouth and fifth division play. The club made its first appearance in the _de. Landesliga Süd in the 1978-79 season but was immediately relegated. They returned in 1983 and stayed up for a half dozen seasons before being sent down again in 1989. "Obberrad" then had a pair of three season long turns in the
Landesliga in 1993-96 and 1999–2002.The club has played as a mid-to-lower table side in Landesliga competition with their best result being a 6th place finish in 1993-94. "Oberrad" again earned promotion to the Landesliga Hessen Süd (IV) after a successful 2005 campaign in the Bezirksoberliga Frankfurt (V) that saw the club finish in second place.
