''Cannstatter Fußballklub'' was formed as a rugby club in 1890 and also quickly established a football team. This club was dissolved after just a few years of play and the former membership re-organized themselves as ''FC Krone Cannstatt'' in 1897 to compete as a football-only side.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.hefleswetzkick.de/VFB/25_Chronik/1890_1899/Cannstatt/07/Saison.htm | title = Vereinschronik Kronen-Club 1897 | url-status = dead | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120922000415/http://www.hefleswetzkick.de/VFB/25_Chronik/1890_1899/Cannstatt/07/Saison.htm | archive-date = 22 September 2012 | df = dmy-all }}</ref> The new team joined the Süddeutschen Fußballverband (SFV) as a second division club and won promotion in 1904. ''Krone'' possessed their own ground, which still exists today as the home of TSV Münster.

Following the 1912 merger of these two clubs, the combined side played at first in the [[Kreisliga Württemberg]] and then in the [[Bezirksliga Württemberg-Baden]], earning a number of top three finishes and claiming a title there in 1927. The club also made several appearances in the final rounds of the SFV in the late 1920s and early 1930s.
