We are the champions!

19 times German Champions

The most successful club since the launch of the Bundesliga in 1963 has unquestionably been Bayern Munich. 

Having won the old German championship just once (in 1932) prior to 1963, the Bavarian giants have gone on to win the Bundesliga no less than 18 times (up to the 2004/5 season).


Der Club

9 times German Champions

In the pre-Bundesliga days, the most successful club, simply known as 'Der Club' in Germany, was the First FC Nuremberg (1. FC Nürnberg), who won the championship 8 times between 1920 and 1961, but only once in the modern Bundesliga era (in 1968).
