It was one of many clubs formed by players of ethnic German origin in that part of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire that would become Czechoslovakia.

Alongside DFC Prag it was a founding member of the Deutscher Fussball Bund (German Football Association) at Leipzig in 1900.

Early in its history the club played in the Verband der Deutschen Prager Fussballvereine (Federation of German Football Teams in Prague) and captured the league title in 1902.

The next season, in one of a series of quirks of history that eventually led DFC Prag to the first-ever German national final, that club was selected as the league's representative in the German championship round despite being tied with Germania and a third club in the still incomplete VDPF championship.

FIFA rebuffed attempts to create ethnic German and Slavic football associations within the borders of the fractious Austro-Hungarian empire, preferring to stay clear of politics.
