The 1. FC Köln (full name: First football . -Club Cologne 7.1 eV) is the largest sports club in Cologne . The club was created on February 13, 1948 from the merger of the two football clubs Kölner BC 01 and SpVgg Sülz 07 . However, the women's football department was only founded on July 1, 2009 when the FFC Brauweiler Pulheim 2000 transferred to 1. FC Köln, which continues the club's history; it was founded as an independent club on June 1, 2000 when the women's football department of SV Grün-Weiß Brauweiler was outsourced .

As Grün-Weiß Brauweiler, the club was once German champion and three times DFB Cup winner. The first women's team of 1. FC Köln played in the Bundesliga in the 2015/16, 2017/18 and 2019/20 seasons .

history

Grün-Weiß Brauweiler (1974 to 2000)

Logo of the SV Grün-Weiß Brauweiler

In 1974 Thomas Meyer founded a training community from which the Grün-Weiß Brauweiler women's team emerged. For the next 20 years, Meyer was to train the team that played in the Mittelrhein Association League, at that time the top division. In 1980 and 1986 the club suffered the only relegations, but both times managed to get back up immediately. In 1987, the women's football department became independent within the club, and the course for the steep rise was set. Between 1989 and 1991 the club won the Middle Rhine Cup three times in a row. However, qualification for the Bundesliga , introduced in 1990, was missed.

In 1991 the club made up for it and in the same year created the greatest sensation in the history of the DFB Cup . As the only second division team to date, Brauweiler won the cup by beating the reigning German champions TSV Siegen 1-0 . A year later, Brauweiler set the record for the best newcomer. The green-whites stormed into the final straight away, but had to admit defeat 0: 2 wins. In the early 1990s, a great rivalry developed between Brauweiler and Siegen. In 1993 Brauweiler lost to victories in the cup final on penalties.

Friedhelm Fröhlich took over as coach in the summer of 1993. Again Brauweiler lost the championship final against victories, but won the cup and the Supercup - against victories. In February 1994, the women's DFB indoor cup was played for the first time , and Brauweiler was the first club to make the list of winners. Brauweiler's reputation as an "eternal second" should continue to strengthen. In 1995 they lost the championship final against FSV Frankfurt after Brauweiler won the northern group for the first time. At the beginning of 1996 Hans-Jürgen Tritschoks became the new trainer. Under him, the curse should finally be defeated in 1997: Brauweiler defeated FC Rumeln-Kaldenhausen on penalties and became German champions for the first time. A week later, Brauweiler won the cup with a 3-1 victory over FC Eintracht Rheine . In addition, Brauweiler won the Supercup for the second time.

After a fourth place in the first single-track Bundesliga, Brauweiler came in 1999 with a strongly rejuvenated team in the risk of relegation. It was only on the last day of the match that they were able to save themselves on their own with a 1-0 win over FFC Heike Rheine .

FFC Brauweiler Pulheim (2000 to 2009)

On July 1, 2000, the women's soccer department of SV Grün-Weiß Brauweiler became the FFC Brauweiler Pulheim. In terms of sport, the team had to orientate themselves back down after an intermediate high, especially after Bettina Wiegmann and Maren Meinert had switched to the US professional league WUSA . In 2003 Friedhelm Fröhlich returned to the coaching bench. In 2004 he could not prevent relegation either.

Brauweiler now played in the newly created 2nd Bundesliga . The team deliberately secured the championship of the northern group and managed to climb back up immediately. Once in the upper house, Brauweiler was only able to hold onto the class on the last day of the match with a 1-1 draw against VfL Sindelfingen . After some top performers had ended their careers, Brauweiler had to go into the 2006/07 season with a team that was barely competitive. Without winning a single point, the team was relegated to the 2nd Bundesliga.

The sporty decline continued in the 2nd Bundesliga South. On 9 April 2008, the club had to due to tax claims of the tax office a bankruptcy petition ask. The team again took last place and was passed through to the third-class Regionalliga West. In the 2008/09 season, the team managed to secure the championship title in the regional league early on. On July 1, 2009, he transferred to 1. FC Köln.

1. FC Köln (since 2009)

The team was reinforced for the 2009/10 season. The transfer of world champion Sonja Fuss from the reigning DFB Cup winner and winner of the UEFA Women's Cup FCR 2001 Duisburg to FC attracted the most attention . According to various press reports and press releases from the club, promotion to the 1st Bundesliga was sought. The team almost made it in the 2010/11 season, but had to be satisfied with second place at the end of the season. Two years later it was only enough for the runner-up behind TSG 1899 Hoffenheim . The decision was only made on the last day of the match, when the Cologne women did not get past 3: 3 in a direct duel in Hoffenheim in front of around 3,000 spectators. Also in the following season (2013/14) the players from the cathedral city had to settle for second place behind SC Sand . This time, the gap to the coveted promotion place with nine points was significantly larger than in the previous season.

In the 2014/15 season, FC made their longed-for promotion to the 1st Bundesliga perfect. On the 18th matchday they secured the championship and the associated promotion early with a 4-1 home win against the second team of 1. FFC Frankfurt . On November 12, 2015, the club released head coach Willi Breuer , who had been in office since 2012, and assistant trainer Bianca Rech from their duties. Nico Reese became an interim coach. On December 1, 2015, Marcus Kühn was presented as the new head coach. The previous interim trainer Reese took over the vacant position as Kühn's assistant trainer. Nevertheless, the Bundesliga season could not be concluded successfully. It was followed by relegation to the second division.

In the 2016/17 season , Breuer took over the role of head coach again. Reese remained an assistant coach. The Cologne women secured the second place in the table in the 2nd Bundesliga South. Due to the championship of TSG 1899 Hoffenheim's second team, which was not eligible for promotion, FC moved up and played in the 1st Bundesliga again in the 2017/18 season. Thus, the team managed direct promotion. The following season ended on the penultimate matchday - after a 2-0 defeat against Werder Bremen - with relegation to the now single-track Second Bundesliga for the 2018/19 season . Again, the FC managed to get promoted back to the 1st Bundesliga and after the first half of the 19/20 season were not on a relegation spot only thanks to the goal difference. On January 1, 2020, Willi Breuer retired six months earlier than planned, and Sascha Glass from SC Sand took over as coach.

Stadion

The women's division of 1. FC Köln played their home games in the Franz Kremer Stadium or on lawn area 7 in the RheinEnergieSportpark until the 2014/15 season . The stadium, which is part of the Geißbockheim club's training grounds, has a seating capacity of 5,000, including 4,000 uncovered standing and 1,000 covered seats.

After advancing to the top division of German women's football, the first team's games were played in the 11,748-seat Südstadion in the 2015/16 season , but 1. FC Köln took the number of spectators among all twelve Bundesliga clubs with an average of 472 spectators per game last place. The negative record of the 2015/16 Bundesliga season was also set at a home game of 1. FC Köln: On November 15, 2015, only 215 spectators were counted in the stadium during the game against 1899 Hoffenheim . In contrast, an average of 961 spectators came to the stadiums for 1. FC Köln's away games in the 2015/16 season.

After relegation to the 2nd league, the home games were played again in the Franz Kremer Stadium and on grass pitch 7 in the 2016/17 season. After the direct re-promotion, the FC women moved back to the Südstadion for the games in the first division.

The FC women play their home games in the DFB Cup, regardless of their league affiliation, in the Franz Kremer Stadium or on pitch 7 in the RheinEnergieSportpark.

1. FC Cologne II

The club's second women's team began in 2009/10 in the Landesliga Mittelrhein (Season 2) in which they immediately won the title. The championship title was also won in the Mittelrhein Association League and played in the Regionalliga for the first time in 2011/12 . Here the team took 11th place and played in the Verbandsliga Mittelrhein again the following season, in which the championship title was again secured. In the 2013/14 season , the 11th place in the regional league was again occupied, which was enough to keep the league. In the following three seasons, the third, second and first place in the Regionalliga were taken in succession. At the end of the 2016/17 season, promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga South was certain. Thus, the team was second class for the first time in the 2017/18 season , but was already relegated four match days before the end of the season and will start again in the regional league in 2018/19 .
