## History

Kickers Offenbach Amateure made a first appearance in higher league football when it won promotion to the [Landesliga Hessen-Mitte](/source/Landesliga_Hessen-Mitte) in 1970 and went on to win this league in its first season there.

It returned to Landesliga level in 1978, now to the [Landesliga Hessen-Süd](/source/Landesliga_Hessen-S%C3%BCd), where it finished runners-up on two occasions before winning the league in 1984. It re-entered the highest football league in the state, now renamed Amateur-Oberliga Hessen but were relegated after only one season despite an eighth-place finish as the senior side had been relegated from the [2. Bundesliga](/source/2._Bundesliga) to this league.[1]
