The Tauberbischofsheim Fencing Club (in German Fecht-Club Tauberbischofsheim eingetragener Verein; commonly known as FC Tauberbischofsheim e. V.) is the most successful fencing club in the world, based on its medal successes in international sporting events. The FC Tauberbischofsheim is based in the Olympic team's training camp Tauberbischofsheim for the sport of Fencing in Tauberbischofsheim, Baden-Württemberg.
On 12 October 1954 – at the initiative of Emil Beck at the "Gasthaus zum Schwanen" – a fencing division in the Club TSV 1863 Tauberbischofsheim e.V. was founded. First trainings were held in the auditorium of the old high school, later in the gym of the high school and the newly built festival hall in Tauberbischofsheim. In 1955 the first public club tournament was in the "Gasthaus zur Bretze". In 1958 the first fencing piste was purchased.
On June 30, 1967 the fencing division left the TSV 1863 Tauberbischofsheim. On 14 October 1967 the official founding meeting of the Fencing-Club Tauberbischofsheim took place in the "Raststätte Block". 1972 and 1976 new staff rooms, fencing arenas, boarding rooms and training rooms opened. In the same year Tauberbischofsheimer fencers won the first gold medals at Olympic Games. 1983 a new fencing hall was built with 18 fencing pistes and fitness rooms.
1986 the Fencing-Club Tauberbischofsheim was part of a newly established Olympic team's training camp Tauberbischofsheim (in German Olympiastützpunkt (OSP) Tauberbischofsheim) for the sport of Fencing in Tauberbischofsheim. In 1988 the sport boarding school "Berghof" opened. 2002 the Vital-Centre was established.
