The tournaments

EM 1984

At the first European Championship, the team trained by Gero Bisanz failed in the qualification. With five draws and one defeat against group winners Denmark , the DFB selection only finished third in the group.

EM 1987 in Norway

Gero Bisanz had gradually rejuvenated the team and had a good chance of qualifying for the first-ever final. A defeat in Finland and a goalless draw in Norway brought the German team to a better place. In the final ranking, Germany again took third place.

EM 1989 in Germany

Unbeaten and without conceding a goal, the German team survived the qualification as group winners. In the quarter-finals, it was against the CSSR to qualify for the final round. This was achieved after a 1-1 draw away and a 2-0 home game. The DFB applied after successful qualifying for the finals and won the contract.

The tournament was the breakthrough for German women's football, which until then was still laughed at and vilified. In the semifinals, the German team met Italy in the Siegener Leimbachstadion . After extra time it was 1-1, so a penalty shoot-out followed. Here goalkeeper Marion Isbert became a heroine when she first parried a penalty and then converted herself. For the first time, a women's soccer game was broadcast live on German television .

On July 2, 1989, the Bisanz-Elf met Norway in the final. The venue was the Bremen Bridge in Osnabrück . Norway went into the game as favorites, but the German team was able to inspire the audience with a furious 4-1 victory. Germany was European champion for the first time.

EM 1991 in Denmark

At the start of the qualification there was a goalless draw against Hungary in Straubing . Five wins followed and Germany reached the quarterfinals as group winners. With two clear wins against England , the Bisanz-Elf managed to qualify for the final tournament.

The final round took place in Denmark . Again the quarter-final opponent was Italy. In Frederikshavn , the German team made everything clear in regular time and moved into the final with a 3-0 win. Old acquaintances were waiting there with the Norwegian eleven. The Norwegians were able to force an extension, but were ultimately beaten 3-1. This renewed title also meant qualification for the 1991 World Cup in China.

EM 1993 in Italy

To qualify for the quarter-finals, the DFB selection only had to play one game. Because of the civil war in Yugoslavia , the team's home game was moved from the Balkans to Sofia , which the German team won 3-0. Yugoslavia waived the second leg and the Bisanz-Elf continued without a fight. In the quarter-finals, the opponent was Russia . Germany won 7-0 in Moscow , making the qualification perfect. The 0: 0 in the second leg in Rheine only had statistical value.

As successful as the qualification was, the result at the European Championship, which took place in Italy , was disappointing . As in 1989 and 1991, the semi-final opponent was Italy. This time the German team was without luck. In the 100th minute, Jutta Nardenbach received the red card and the hosts were able to prevail on penalties . Thus, the German team played in the small final against Denmark. The Danes won this game 3-1. To date, fourth place at the European Championships in 1993 is the worst placement for a German team.

EM 1995

The DFB-Elf was able to set a new record in the qualification. All six games were won and there was even no goal. The completely overwhelmed Welsh women were defeated twice with 12: 0 and against Switzerland there was an 11: 0.

The 1995 European Championship was the last one without a final. The quarter-finals and semi-finals were played back and forth. There were two wins against Russia in the quarter-finals and two wins against England in the semi-finals. The final against Sweden took place in the Fritz Walter Stadium in Kaiserslautern . In a thrilling game, the Bisanz-Elf retained the upper hand 3-2 and celebrated the European Championship for the third time. It was the last EM for Gero Bisanz.

European Championship 1997 in Norway

For the first time Tina Theune-Meyer led the German national team through the European Championship qualification. The direct qualification was missed. There were clear wins against Finland and Slovakia , but a draw and a defeat against world champion Norway missed group victory. As runners-up in the group, the DFB-Elf had to relegate to Iceland . There were two clear wins here and tickets for the finals in Norway and Sweden could be booked.

The German team reached the semi-finals with a lot of effort. After two draws against Italy and Norway, a 2-0 win against Denmark in the last group game was enough for advancement. With a 1-0 semi-final win against Sweden, the German selection reached the final in Oslo . Again the opponent was Italy. With goals from Sandra Minnert and Birgit Prinz , the German team won 2-0 and the fourth European championship was wrapped up. Germany competed in the final with the youngest team to date, which was on average 23.33 years old on the day of the final.

EM 2001 in Germany

Except for a 4-4 draw in Italy, the German national team recorded five clear wins. After the successful qualification, the DFB applied to host the EM 2001 and was awarded the contract. It was the last European Championship so far where the host was not determined in advance.

In the preliminary round, the DFB-Elf showed three convincing games and could clearly defeat Sweden, Russia and England. In the semifinals it was against the old rival from Norway. An exciting game developed, which was decided by a remarkable diving header from Sandra Smisek . On July 7, 2001, the German and Swedish teams faced each other in the Danube Stadium in Ulm . In the pouring rain, no goals were scored in regular time. The rain stopped just in time for the start of extra time. After a pass from Maren Meinert, Claudia Müller scored the golden goal and the number five European championship was perfect.

EM 2005 in England

As the reigning world champion, the DFB-Elf naturally went into qualifying for the European Championship in England as favorites. The eight qualifying games were all won and in the end there was an incredible goal difference of 50: 2. The first appearance after the World Cup brought with the 13-0 victory against Portugal the highest victory in the history of the national team. The second leg in Portugal was also won with a double-digit 11-0 win. Inka Grings scored five goals in this game alone, while goalkeeper Silke Rottenberg was almost unemployed. With 14 goals Birgit Prinz , who had scored at least one goal in all games except the 3-1 in Ukraine, was the top scorer in the qualification.

The start into the European Championship, on the other hand, was bumpy. At the beginning there was a difficult 1-0 win against Norway. Against Italy (4-0) and France (3-0) things went better. Surprisingly, Finland was the semi-final opponent. With a clear 4: 1 the final could be secured. As four years earlier, the German selection met the opening opponent again in the final. This time too, the Germans retained the upper hand and came to a 3-1 victory. After the sixth European Championship, the fourth in a row, Tina Theune-Meyer resigned and handed over the position of coach to her assistant Silvia Neid .

EM 2009 in Finland

Germany - Norway

The EM 2009 took place in Finland . For the first time, twelve teams took part in the tournament. Germany met Belgium , the Netherlands , Switzerland and Wales in qualifying and qualified without losing points with a goal difference of 34: 1. At the group draw on November 18, 2008, Germany was drawn to the European Vice Champions from Norway as well as the French and Icelandic women. In the first group game they met their old rivals Norway. The German team took a quick lead with a penalty converted by Linda Bresonik, after which the team missed many good chances and almost conceded the equalizer in stoppage time, but Nadine Angerer blocked the shot. In return, as well as additional stoppage time, 3 goals could be scored. After the second group game was won 5-1 against France and due to the other group game Germany was already the group winner after two games, the national coach spared some regular players in the third group game who were also "at risk of yellowing". The team struggled for a long time against the already eliminated Icelanders and was only able to score the 1-0 winning goal in the 50th minute through Inga Grings, who was substituted at half-time. Grings injured his knee and had to be replaced a few minutes later. Through targeted medical treatments, however, she was able to be made fit again for the knockout games. So she was able to play in the quarter-finals against Italy again and scored the decisive goals for the 2-1 victory in the 4th and 47th minutes. In the semifinals they met again on Norway, who had only reached the quarterfinals as one of the two best thirds in the group and surprisingly won 3-1 against the favored Swedes. Compared to the first game, the Norwegians were unrecognizable and were able to take the lead 1-0 in the 10th minute after a corner kick in which several Norwegians blocked the German goalkeeper. A short time later - again after a corner kick - they only hit the post and the German team had a hard time for a long time. Only in the second half could three substitute players turn the game around and prepare the way for the final. This developed into the finals with the highest number of goals in European Championship history, in which the English women kept up for a long time, but the 4: 2, the 5th tournament goal by Inga Grings, broke the spell. In the end, the win was very clear with 6: 2.

EM 2013 in Sweden

The EM 2013 took place for the second time in Sweden . In qualifying, Germany met Spain , Switzerland and Turkey, and for the first time Kazakhstan and Romania . The qualification began on September 17, 2011 with the game against Switzerland and ended on September 19, 2012 with the game against Turkey. There were previously 14 games against Switzerland, 13 of which were won and one ended in a draw (goal difference 67: 2). The German soccer women had only played once against Spain and Turkey. Both games were clearly won 6-0 and 12-1 respectively. For the Turkish women, this is the highest international defeat so far. Only the Spaniards were able to qualify for a European Championship before, and in 1997 they reached the semi-finals. In the four games played in 2011, the German team came to three wins, including a 17-0 record win against Kazakhstan; there was also a 2-2 in Spain. Since Spain lost to Switzerland on June 16, 2012, the participation of the German team was already certain before the last two games based on the direct comparison. The last games were won and the German team finished the qualification with a goal difference of 64: 3. No other team got more than 35 goals. With 17 goals Célia Okoyino da Mbabi was the top scorer in the qualification.

In the finals, the German team started with a 0-0 win against the Netherlands , with the Dutch women having better chances to score . The subsequent game against Iceland was won 3-0 and based on the results of the other groups, Germany was already qualified for the quarter-finals. In the final game against Norway , which was all about winning the group, the German team lost a European Championship final against Norway for the first time, and after more than 20 years only another European Championship final. As in 2009, the team met Italy in the quarter-finals and prevailed 1-0 thanks to an increase in performance. In the semi-finals, the youngest team in the tournament met hosts Sweden , who started with the oldest squad of all participants and were favored after previous games. With the best tournament performance to date, the German team was able to prevail against Sweden as in all previous knockout games and reach the final for the sixth time in a row by 1-0, where they met Norway for the fourth time. The German team won the title for the eighth time through the third 1-0 victory at this European Championship, in which Nadine Angerer was able to save two penalties for the Norwegians. The winning goal was scored by Anja Mittag , who was substituted in for the second half, with her first ball contact.

EM 2017 in the Netherlands

The EM 2017 took place in the Netherlands . Germany met Croatia , Russia , Turkey and Hungary in qualifying . The games took place between September 14, 2015 and September 20, 2016. Germany had a positive record against all of them and only lost one game (1985 against Hungary). Germany started the qualification with a 12-0 win against Hungary, in which Tabea Kemme and Pauline Bremer scored their first international goals and the latter was top scorer with three goals. In the following games there were fewer goals, but the next three games were won without conceding a goal. The national coach Neid had to do without some injured regular players, but the subsequently nominated players, especially Mandy Islacker , who was only considered for the first time at the age of 27, justified their nomination with the first goals in two games. After the other games were also won without conceding a goal, after six games when the Russians only managed a 3: 3 in their home game against Hungary, qualification was already certain after six games. The remaining games after the Olympic victory , after Steffi Jones took over the post as national coach, were won. In addition, the German team remained without conceding a goal.

Scene from the game against Italy with Isabel Kerschowski and the Italian captain Melania Gabbiadini

For the draw for the final groups on November 8, 2016, Germany was assigned to Pot 1 together with the hosts, the Netherlands, England and France, and group B was drawn as the group head. Opponents were Sweden, Italy and Russia, making this the only group without a newcomer and a neighborhood duel. Germany started with a goalless draw against Sweden, which was the first time there was no winner in the clash with the Scandinavians. They won against Italy and Russia, but defenders and captain Marozsán scored the goals with a penalty. As group winners, the German team then met Denmark in the quarter-finals. However, the game could not take place on the scheduled date, as the place was unplayable due to continuous rain. A day later, both of them started at lunchtime, which was unusual for them. The German team initially seemed more alert and took the lead in the third minute with a long shot by Isabel Kerschowski , which the Danish goalkeeper could only steer into her own goal. However, the leadership paralyzed the German team rather than giving them security and as a result, not only the Danish goalkeeper increased, but also her entire team, so that Germany no longer had any significant chances to score. Shortly after the half-time break they were able to equalize and finally turn the game around in the 83rd minute. Since the German players then no longer succeeded in creating scoring chances, Germany was eliminated for the first time in a European Championship finals in the quarter-finals. Shortly after the European Championship, striker Anja Mittag announced her resignation from the national team.

EM 2021 in England

The finals will take place in England for the second time in 2021. Opponents in the qualification are for the first time Greece and Montenegro as well as Ireland (opponents in the qualifications for the 2007 and 2015 World Cups; four wins) and Ukraine (opponents in the qualifications for the 1999 World Cup and EM 2001 and 2005; five wins and one draw) . Of the opponents, only Ukraine has qualified for a European Championship finals (2009) so far.

So far (as of July 30, 2017) 82 players have been used at European championships. Doris Fitschen was the only German player to take part in five European Championship finals. Since she took part in three finals with only four participants, she came up with fewer games than some players who only took part in four finals. 28 players scored a total of 76 goals. Maren Meinert, Sandra Minnert and Jennifer Cramer had to sit out for a game because of two yellow cards in a tournament. So far, only one German player has been sent off. The players nominated for the European Championship 2017 are marked in bold letters.

Record against the other European champions at European championships
