On 17 November 1899, thirteen of these youthful men formed a fresh cabaret, this fourth dimension specifically focussed on association football, in the Zum Jägerhof public house. They chose the bible Borussia ( Latin : “ Prussia “ ) as their association ‘s new title, although this was not yet the club ‘s official establish.

By achieving access to its own football grounds, Borussia frankincense evaded the growing number of patrol actions that were launched to call football enthusiasts to regulate. regular bid continued, after more than a year of absence, in the second class of the second district, against teams like FC Mönchengladbach II, FC Eintracht Mönchengladbach and assorted teams from Düsseldorf and Krefeld, among others.

As Wolfgang Kleff was injured, the baseball club signed a modern goalkeeper. In Wolfgang Kneib, who came from SV Wiesbaden, Lattek found a dependable substitute. Borussia needed one distributor point to defend the title on the final day. The match took target away against Bayern Munich, then sixth in the mesa, and ended 2:2 by an own finish in the 90th infinitesimal by Hans-Jürgen Wittkamp. Borussia made the hat-trick and won on 21 May 1977 for the third clock time in a quarrel and for the fifth time overall the german championship title. The Dane Allan Simonsen received after this temper the award as Europe ‘s Footballer of the class with the Ballon d’Or. The team narrowly missed a fourth championship claim in a row in season 1977–78 : Monchengladbach lost out to 1. FC Köln only by a worse goal remainder. Borussia won against Borussia Dortmund 12–0 on the final day of the season, still the highest victory in the history of the Bundesliga. however, the Domstädter won their last bet on 5:0 at FC St. Pauli : they had a better finish deviation by three goals and so won the championship. For the beginning time in the Bundesliga first and second were tied after the end of the season. Borussia would have been able to decide the championship in their party favor had they won the pit against 1. FC Cologne a few weeks early. however, the plot ended in a pull, with Cologne player Heinz Flohe netting a critical 83rd-minute equalizer. Although Mönchengladbach lost the 1977 final of the european Cup to Liverpool in Rome ( 25 May 1977 ), they besides made four appearances in the UEFA Cup with wins in 1975 and 1979 against losses in 1973 and 1980. The club ‘s spectacular run had come to an end with eight trophies to their credit, and although they would continue to be competitive for many years, success would be much harder to come by. [ 5 ] In the comply temper 1978–79 Udo Lattek managed Borussia for the last time. many regulars left the golf club, such as the late vice-president Rainer Bonhof, or announced their career end, such as Jupp Heynckes and Berti Vogts. Lattek did not succeed in offsetting these departures with appropriate newly signings. On Matchday 30, the team was in fifteenth identify with a goal-difference of 38:47 goals : three wins from the last four games improved the stopping point to tenth seat. It was the first season in a long time in which the club finished with a negative goal-difference. Borussia signed Jupp Heynckes to be assistant bus to Lattek this season.

The cabaret signed Harald Nickel of Eintracht Braunschweig. With a transfer fee of 1.15 million DM this was the so far most expensive new leverage. From Herzogenaurach came Lothar Matthäus. Borussia finished the season in seventh place. On 7 May 1980 Borussia Mönchengladbach was again in a concluding for the UEFA Cup. At home, the team won against Eintracht Frankfurt 3–2. In the second leg on 21 May 1980 Eintracht Frankfurt won 1–0 against Borussia Mönchengladbach and secured the trophy ascribable to the larger number of aside goals scored .

1980–1996 : Slow down [edit ]

In the 1980s, Borussia could no long build on the titles of the past decade and fell behind of the early rival from Munich. Due to the miss of tag tax income from the modest Bökelbergstadion the golf club had to sell clear performers again and again. however, it was potential to settle frequently in the upper one-third of the Bundesliga and play in the championship competitiveness. In the 1980–81 season many longtime players and performers left the club, including Karl Del’Haye who is considered the first actor who was signed by FC Bayern Munich in hostile intent. [ 30 ] Borussia committed with Wolfram Wuttke alone to striking players. They replaced Wolfgang Kleff in goal to Uli Sude. The team reached this temper ‘s sixth place in the table. The frolic record did not improve in the pursue two seasons. With a seventh place in 1982 Borussia missed the engagement in the international competitions. The succeed year, Uwe Kamps guarded the finish for the first base time, and remained long-time goalkeeper for many years. In the 1983–84 season Borussia played for the entitle. With Bernd Krauss, Michael Frontzeck and Uli Borowka Borussia committed players who played for a long time successfully for the club. At the goal they landed tied behind VfB Stuttgart and Hamburger SV in third place. It was the first time in the history of the Bundesliga that three clubs tied the table on the final matchday. In the same season, Mönchengladbach besides lost the DFB-Pokal final to Bayern Munich on penalties, Lothar Matthäus and Norbert Ringels both missing from the smudge after the game in the first place ended all square at 1–1. Matthäus subsequently joined Bayern Munich for a then-record fee of 2.25 million DM, leading some fans to question whether he had measuredly missed his penalty. [ 31 ] In the 1984–85 temper Borussia won 10–0 on Matchday 8 against Eintracht Braunschweig which is then far the last two-digit victory in Bundesliga history. [ 32 ] In the semi-finals of the german Cup VfL met again at Bayern Munich. After no goals had been scored in the regular season in Munich ‘s Olympiastadion, Søren Lerby converted a penalty kick against Borussia goalkeeper Ulrich Sude in the 101st minute. This remained the only finish of the even, so that Borussia missed the entrance into the final. The season 1985–86 brought no sporting highlights in the Bundesliga with the clubhouse finishing fourthly. Borussia Mönchengladbach gave away a 5–1 win over actual Madrid on 27 November 1985 in Düsseldorf ( 11 December 1985 ) when the clubhouse lost 4–0 in Madrid and dropped out of the UEFA Cup. In the 1986–87 season was again a coach variety. Jupp Heynckes announced his move to Bayern Munich. The club nominated Wolf Werner as the newly coach. At the end of the season Borussia stood with the third seat in the mesa for the last time in this decade at a UEFA Cup place. The Association of german Sports Journalists voted Uwe Rahn Player of the Year. Again Borussia reached the semi-finals of the DFB Cup. But besides this time Borussia lost against the late DFB Cup winner Hamburger SV. On 22 April 1987, Borussia lost against the scots representative Dundee United after frustration at home in Bökelberg in the UEFA Cup semi-final. It was besides the beginning get the better of in a european Cup crippled on the Bökelberg. After the deviation of Jupp Heynckes, the era of long-standing engagements of head coaches ended. In the inaugural 23 years from 1964 to 1987 Borussia lone had three instructors ; Since the departure of Heynckes, Borussia had committed 16 new coaches until 2008, with the exception of interim solutions. It was Werner ‘s secrete on 21 November 1989 that saw beginning premature dismissal of a coach at Borussia at all. entirely three by and by coaches managed to succeed in Mönchengladbach for more than three years, Bernd Krauss ( 1992–1996 ), Hans Meyer ( 1999–2003 ) and Lucien Favre ( 2011–2015 ). In the future season Borussia signed Stefan Effenberg, a player who worked hanker and successfully for the cabaret. Borussia finished the season in seventh place and thus missed the participation in external competitions. The early 1990s followed a significant down vogue. As a consequence of the sporting decline, the number of spectators at the Bökelberg was declining for the first prison term. already in the temper 1989–90 the cabaret played against relegation. In the follow years Borussia placed in the midfield of the league. In the 1991–92 season Borussia played again a estimable cup season. In the Cup semi-final goalkeeper Uwe Kamps held on penalties all four penalties of the players of Bayer 04 Leverkusen. Borussia reached the final examination. The final on 23 May 1992 saw the Mönchengladbachers lose against the club from moment division Hannover 96 3:4 on penalties. In 1993, the club signed the players Heiko Herrlich and Patrik Andersson, and in 1994, Stefan Effenberg came back, who played for Borussia Mönchengladbach from 1987 to 1990. Under coach Bernd Krauss, they managed a renewed connection to the Bundesliga lead end.

Borussia would besides win the Supercup against the german champions Borussia Dortmund a few months late .

1996–2010 : firm refuse and new stadium [edit ]

The northern curl in Bökelbergstadion The team ‘s performance slipped significantly in the 1990s and Die Fohlen soon found themselves struggling in the lower half of the Bundesliga table. After the beginning cycle of the 1996–97 season, Borussia finished 17th place in the table. The club dismissed coach Krauss due to the dissipated failure. At the end of the season, the Mönchengladbacher were in 11th place. none of the other four coaches to Krauss remained in agency for more than a year. Under Friedel Rausch could Borussia only hold the bundesliga position after a dramatic season stopping point in 1998. Before the survive matchday, the Borussia were three points behind a delegating zone. On the final day of the season succeeded a 2–0 away win at VfL Wolfsburg ; Karlsruher SC lost to Hansa Rostock and went down due to the worse goal remainder. In the international arena, the season was disappointing despite two victories in the first attack of the UEFA Cup against Arsenal. Borussia lost in the second circle of the first peg 2–4 against AS Monaco, the most late victory Borussia reached with a 1–0 in Monaco, but were eliminated from the competition. In the season 1998–99 Borussia won 3–0 against FC Schalke 04 on Matchday 1 and was at the top of the table for the first time in 13 years. As a result, the team lost six matches and drew two draws, so they stood on the ninth day at the bed of the postpone. On the tenth and eleventh orotund followed by a 2:8 get the better of against Bayer 04 Leverkusen and a 1:7 at Vfl Wolfsburg two gamey defeats in a row. The team remained until the end of the season in 18th place. After a full of 21 lose games, the consequence was the first descent from the Bundesliga. As a consequence of the lineage, several peak performers, including goalkeeper Robert Enke, defender Patrik Andersson and midfielder Karlheinz Pflipsen and Sebastian Deisler all left the baseball club.

2010–2017 : revival [edit ]

For the hundred-and-tenth anniversary of the club, the club brought out a DVD on which the cabaret ‘s fib is told in a 110-minute film. On 28 July 2010 it was premiered in a film in Mönchengladbach. In the DFB Cup 2010–11 for the first time after five years the round of 16 was reached. In the Bundesliga they succeeded after 16 years in getting the first base victory against Bayer 04 Leverkusen, but at the end of the preliminary beat, the club were in last position. due to the seasonally poor athletic performance, a fusion of leaders from the local economy founded the initiative Borussia, which accused the club management of mismanagement. According to the first step, the previous, encrust structures should be dissolved in order to give Borussia a future. So the money should be invested in the sport rather than in the plan museum complex with attach hotel. [ 33 ] At the 2011 Annual General Meeting, only 335 of the 4769 members present voted in prefer of the inaugural ‘s goals. [ 34 ] [ 35 ] [ 36 ] At the Bundesliga home game against 1. FSV Mainz 05, Marco Reus scored the 2500th Bundesliga goal in the 1445th game. other Jubiläumstorschützen were Jupp Heynckes ( 500 ), Carsten Nielsen ( 1000 ), Uwe Rahn ( 1500 ) and Martin Dahlin ( 2000 ). [ 37 ]
The first newcomer in the winter break in was the free transfer of striker Mike Hanke of Hannover 96. [ 38 ] The defense was reinforced with Håvard Nordtveit and Martin Stranzl. On 13 February 2011 Michael Frontzeck was dismissed due to retain failure as a coach. Decisive were defeats against the lead delegating competitors VfB Stuttgart and FC St. Pauli. [ 39 ] [ 40 ] Lucien Favre was hired as the new question bus. [ 41 ] After the team had been in the last place in the table until the thirtieth match day, they achieved three wins in a row and reached after a 1–1 draw at the last game day 16th place, which allowed one stopping point opportunity to remain in the league. Borussia competed in two relegation matches against the second league team VfL Bochum and were able to prevent relegation with a 1–0 at home plate and a 1–1 draw in Bochum. [ 42 ] [ 43 ] [ 44 ] Under Favre, who took over in January 2011, Borussia Mönchengladbach has in late years shown ambitions to re-establish themselves in the crown regions of the Bundesliga. In the 2010–11 season, after a black beginning half of the season, Borussia Mönchengladbach managed to narrowly avoid relegation through the post-season relegation play-offs. The following season, 2011–12, followed this up with a firm season in which they were for much of the year in competition for the championship and finally finished in fourth position. They missed out on reservation to the 2012–13 UEFA Champions League after losing 4–3 on aggregate to ukrainian golf club Dynamo Kyiv in the playoff round. During the 2012–13 Bundesliga season, after losing some key players, notably Marco Reus who was voted actor of the year in the Bundesliga in the previous season, Borussia Mönchengladbach even contended for the international places until the last match day, finally finishing in eighth put. In the 2013–14 Bundesliga season, they had another very successful year, achieving an excellent third-place after the first gear half of the season and finishing the season in one-sixth place, entering them into the 2014–15 Europa League contest at the play-off stage. [ citation needed ] They finished the 2014–15 Bundesliga season in third place, saving the club a station for direct qualification to the 2015–16 UEFA Champions League group stage. The clubhouse found itself in a bully group [ 45 ] together with Juventus, Manchester City and Sevilla and although they finished bed of the group, they claimed a respectable points match of five, claiming draw home and away against Juventus and defeating eventual Europa League winners Sevilla 4–2 at dwelling .

The baseball club ‘s fortunes immediately changed, as it won six-straight Bundesliga matches and finally finishing the season in fourthly placement, earning qualification to the Champions League for a moment consecutive temper. In the 2016–17 season, Borussia drew a unmanageable group in the Champions League, but managed to finish in third place above Celtic and qualify for the UEFA Europa League smasher phase. however, after a bright start in the Bundesliga, the club experienced a inadequate run of form exacerbated by injuries, and had dropped to the 14th position by the winter break. As a consequence, André Schubert resigned and was replaced by ex-VfL Wolfsburg director Dieter Hecking. Hecking began with three wins in four Bundesliga matches as Borussia rose to one-ninth home and besides earned a place in the quarter-finals of the DFB-Pokal .

2017–present : ascent to the peak half of the postpone [edit ]

A new record remove was made by the baseball club for the season. For the german external and global champion Matthias Ginter, the club transferred 17 million euro plus bonus payments to Borussia Dortmund. In the one-ninth edition of the Telekom Cup, Borussia had arsenic early as January of the lapp year again to be content with the fourth and concluding place after a frustration on penalties against Werder Bremen and against TSG 1899 Hoffenheim. The inaugural round of the DFB Cup 2017–18 was able to make Borussia triumphant. The VfL won the West duel against Rot-Weiss Essen 2–1. In the league preliminary, the Fohlenelf kept by a goal of Nico Elvedi 1–0 in the Rheinland bowler hat against 1. FC Köln the upper berth hand and “ overwintered ” after a final 3–1 home winnings against Hamburger SV to half-time as sixth with 28 points from eight wins, four disembowel and five defeats. In the DFB Cup Borussia were eliminated on 20 December 2017 in the last competitive game of the year after a 0–1 defeat in the second round against Bayer 04 Leverkusen in the Borussia-Park at home, after the “ Werkself ” had already on the 9th matchday of the Bundesliga at the lapp place won 5–1. The second gear round match failed ; the decisive goal to 1–2 get the better of at 1. FC Köln fell in the fifth minute of blockage time. By contrast, the fiscal data in the 2017 fiscal year was more cocksure. Despite a miss of participation in external competitions, the affiliation posted the second-best solution in its history with a employee turnover of 179.3 million euros and a profit after tax of 6.56 million euro after the record year 2016. The 2017–18 season ended for Borussia after a 1–2 get the better of at Hamburger SV left them in ninth position and therefore missed, as in the previous year, the qualification for the european competitions. The plot was besides the last for Hamburg in the highest german league after 55 years of continuous affiliation. In July 2018, the french striker Alassane Pléa from OGC Nice arrived for the record sum of 23 million euro. In the first round of the 2018–19 DFB-Pokal Mönchengladbach defeated BSC Hastedt 11–1. therefore, Borussia surpassed the former criminal record, which had been set by the golf club in an 8–0 victory in the away game at 1. FC Viersen in the first circle of the 1977–78 DFB-Pokal. In the 2019–20 Bundesliga, Mönchengladbach started the season well, and was on peak of the league in December 2019, after defeating Bayern Munich 2–1. however, a precarious run of results in the second half of the season meant they ultimately finished in fourth place, 17 points behind champions Bayern. Monchengladbach thus qualified for the UEFA Champions League and were drawn against Inter Milan, Real Madrid, and Shakhtar Donetsk. Borussia achieved their largest gain in the Champions League with a 6–0 winnings over Shakhtar Donetsk, with Alassane Pléa scoring a hat-trick. [ citation needed ] They advanced to the hard stage after finishing second identify in Group B, but were ultimately knocked out in the turn of 16 by Manchester City. [ citation needed ]

Friendships and rivalries [edit ]

friendship with Politehnica Timisoara [edit ]

friendship with FSV Mainz 05 [edit ]

After the DFB Cup match against the 1. FSV Mainz 05 on 25 October 1994, a 6–4 acquire for Mönchengladbach, a sports fan friendship developed between Mainz and Borussia, which is now maintained by only a few supporters .

friendship with Liverpool F.C . [edit ]

On the early hand, there is a long friendship with Liverpool, which comes from the fourth dimension both teams regularly met in external games. Fans of Borussia locomotion to Liverpool at even intervals to watch local Reds games. conversely, followers from Liverpool still use a visit to Mönchengladbach to symbolise the common fan friendship of both clubs. [ 49 ] The fans of Mönchengladbach collected 21,000 DM for the families of the 96 dead in the stadium disaster in Sheffield ( 1989 ) and presented it to Liverpool FC in 1991 in Mönchengladbach. [ 50 ] [ 51 ] For the hundred-and-tenth anniversary of the club on 1 August 2010, Liverpool FC were the opponents in a friendly match. The match in battlefront of 51,515 spectators in the Borussia Park Mönchengladbach was won 1–0. [ 52 ]

competition with FC Köln [edit ]

By contrast, there is a solid sporting competition between Mönchengladbach and the regional equal 1. FC Köln. widely considered the most severe of Mönchengladbach ‘s rivalries, [ 53 ] the animosities between Mönchengladbach and Cologne had their trip in 1964, when Cologne director Hennes Weisweiler switched allegiance in party favor of Mönchengladbach. Weisweiler is a central figure in both clubs ‘ mythologies ; the mascot of Cologne is named Hennes in his honor, whereas Mönchengladbach venerates Weisweiler as the coach of its “ team of the century ”. Mönchengladbach ‘s stadium, Borussia-Park, is furthermore located at a road named Hennes-Weisweiler-Allee in Weisweiler ‘s memory. This initial outrage on behalf of FC Köln supporters was soon met with a serious sporting competition : Although Cologne initially had had the athletic edge as a establish member of the Bundesliga and the league ‘s first champion, Mönchengladbach cursorily closed the gap. Between the seasons 1969–70 and 1977–78, Mönchengladbach won five championships, Cologne won one, and FC Bayern Munich secured the remaining three. The 77–78 temper has become remembered in both cabaret ‘s collective memories : Although Mönchengladbach defeated Borussia Dortmund in the highest victory in Bundesliga history with a crushing 12–0, Cologne carried the championship with a 5–0 succeed over FC St. Pauli due to their slenderly better goal difference ( +45 versus +42 in Cologne ‘s favor ). To add insult to injury, Cologne was back under the leadership of Hennes Weisweiler, the embody point of contention between both clubs. Although neither golf club has been able to win a Bundesliga title since the 1977–78 season, the competition remains, with respective incidents of ferocity between supporters of both clubs. [ 54 ] [ 55 ] [ 56 ] [ 57 ] Overall, Mönchengladbach has been more successful in matches between the two, winning 54 out of 105 duels, drawing 20 and losing 31. notably, Mönchengladbach is more likely to win than FC Köln even in aside matches ( 24–10–17 in Mönchengladbach ‘s favor ). [ 58 ] The very inaugural iteration of Borussia vs FC Köln was played on 1 January 1961 in front of a herd of 11,000 in Oberliga West ( 1947–63 ). Cologne defeated Mönchengladbach 4–1. [ 59 ]

other rivalries [edit ]

FC Bayern Munich: Both Mönchengladbach and Munich had not been starters in the Bundesliga – each won their right to a spot starting with the 1965–66 season. Munich finished 3rd, Mönchengladbach 13th. Both clubs rose to dominance between the 1969–70 and 1976–77 seasons, when five championships went to Mönchengladbach and three to Munich. However, with Mönchengladbach’s decline in the 1980s and 1990s, Munich could firmly assert its dominance in both the Bundesliga and in the direct comparisons with Borussia: Out of 108 matches, Munich won exactly half, 54. Mönchengladbach won 24, only 4 of which were away games, and the two clubs drew 30.[60] However, Mönchengladbach has remained a notable wildcard with the ability to inflict painful defeats on Munich, for example when Igor de Camargo scored the decisive goal in the 1–0 victory in the first ever game of goalkeeper Manuel Neuer and defender Jérôme Boateng at Munich on 7 August 2011.[61] Gladbach was also able to escape Munich in 2015 with a 0–2 victory, one of the few victories over Bayern in their home stadium as well as being a rare domestic loss for then-Bayern manager, Pep Guardiola.[ citation needed] On October 27, 2021 Gladbach beat Bayern 5-0 in a DFB Pokal (German Cup) match, the worst Bayern loss since 1978 in any competition.
Borussia Dortmund: While not nearly as pronounced as Dortmund’s rivalry against FC Schalke 04 or Mönchengladbach’s own struggle against 1. FC Köln, Dortmund and Mönchengladbach still occasionally lock horns, mostly because of the naming similarity – both are the two Borussias of the Bundesliga. The song Es gibt nur eine Borussia (‘there is only one Borussia’) is popular among Mönchengladbach supporters when facing Dortmund squads. The duel between the two has been dubbed the Borussengipfel, the Borussia Summit, in the media.[62][63]

Songs [edit ]

The official baseball club hymn is the song The Eleven of the Lower Rhine, [ 64 ] which is sung before every base plot. The song was recorded by the group BO, the band of the fan project. [ 65 ] Next to them are the songs We are Borussia and The soul burns a permanent wave place in the fan fit. The anthem by Gerry & the Pacemakers, “ You ‘ll Never Walk Alone “, which is sung by numerous clubs around Europe is frequently heard. The goal song ( Torhymne ), which is heard after every home bet on, is the refrain of Scooter ‘s “ Maria ( I Like It Loud ) “. It is accompanied by the heavy announcement “ Tor für die Borussia ”, by Rolf Göttel, who worked as honorary announcer of Borussia in Bökelbergstadion for decades .

mascot [edit ]

A inaugural mascot was created by coach Helmut Grasshoff and was called Bumsi. The read/write head was a Telstar – stylus ball with eyes and black, curly hair. The official mascot of the golf club since the season opener in 1998, is the foal Jünter, whose name refers to the Mönchengladbach native and longtime Borussia player Günter Netzer .
