List of German soccer champions
A German football champion has been determined by the German Football Association since 1903 . In addition, from 1920 to 1933 the Workers' Gymnastics and Sports Association determined its own football champion. The German Gymnastics Federation also held its own championships from 1925 to 1930 after a conflict with the DFB, as did the then Catholic DJK from 1921 to 1932 (but only every three, and most recently every five years). However, the first attempts by other associations to host a German football championship had been there since 1890. From 1948 to 1991, separate championships were played in the GDR and the Federal Republic of Germany. In women's football there since 1974 (West Germany) and 1979 (DDR) Championships, also a pan-German champion is determined since the 1991/92 season.
The men's record champions have been FC Bayern Munich since 1986 (currently with 30 titles), ahead of BFC Dynamo with ten GDR championships. The first record champions were VfB Leipzig . Other record champions were 1. FC Nürnberg , who drew level with VfB Leipzig in 1924, replaced them as sole record champions with four titles in 1925 and remained record champions until 1986, as well as FC Schalke 04 , which worked together from 1942 to 1948 and from 1958 to 1961 1. FC Nürnberg topped the record list with six and seven titles respectively.
In the women's category, 1. FFC Turbine Potsdam is the record champion with a total of twelve German championship titles (including six GDR championships) ahead of SSG 09 Bergisch Gladbach (later TuS Köln rrh. 1874 , now Bayer 04 Leverkusen ) with nine German titles.
The VfL Wolfsburg is the first club to have won the championship title in the Bundesliga for both men and women. As early as 1976, the women's team at FC Bayern Munich succeeded in making it equal to the men and also becoming German champions. At that time, however, the master was determined in the knockout system . In the 2014/15 season, FC Bayern Munich became the first club to win both titles in one season.
German masters before 1903
Even before the formation of the German Football Association , there were a number of other football associations in Germany that also (unofficially) held "German" championships. The first football association founded in Germany in 1890 was the Bund Deutscher Fußballfahrer (BDF; whose first master was the Berlin FC Germania 1888 in 1891), which was followed in 1891 by the German Football and Cricket Association (DFuCB; master: English FC 1890 Berlin ), both of them Based in Berlin . Such regionally limited associations also formed in other parts of Germany in the following years and again played their own championships, but very few of them were able to survive for a long time and were mostly integrated into the regional associations of the DFB.
In 1892 there was a playoff between the champions of the BDF and the champions of the DFuCB of the season 1891/92, which Germania won 3-1 against English FC. In 1894 there should be a final for the national championship between the Berlin champions of the DFuCB ( Berlin TuFC Viktoria 89 ) and the foreign member FC Hanau 93 . Hanau did not appear after initial acceptance due to the high travel costs (the game was supposed to take place in Berlin). 113 years later, on July 21 and 28, 2007, the two finals were repeated, which Viktoria finally won 3: 0 and 1: 1.

Other German champions besides the DFB
In addition to the DFB, several parallel championships were established in the 1910s to 1930s, the title holders of which are mostly forgotten today. There were various reasons for these parallel structures. After the “ clean divorce ” , the German gymnastics association held its own championship, as did the Arbeiter-Turn- und Sportbund , the Kampfgemeinschaft für Rote Sporteinheit (for these two: see also workers' sports in Germany ), the German youth force and the two Jewish sports associations Makkabi Germany and Sportbund shield . The existence of such championships is explained by the existence of social, political, trade union or religious segregation in society. For example, a communist “parallel society” was formed which also held its own championships on a sporting level, but was not organized in the DFB or any other competing organization. The academics started with the German Academic Championship .
