German Football Championship Titles by Club

About This Dataset

This chart ranks German clubs by national championship titles won, covering the full history of German football from the pre-Bundesliga championship era through to the modern Bundesliga, which began in 1963.

✨ AI Insight

Bayern Munich stand alone with 35 titles, nearly four times second-placed 1. FC Nurnberg on nine and more than every other club on this list combined. The gap is the widest of any major European league, exceeding even Juventus's lead in Italy. History splits the list neatly: Nurnberg's nine and Greuther Furth's three were won almost entirely before the Second World War, while Bayern's dominance is overwhelmingly a Bundesliga-era phenomenon. Borussia Dortmund on eight and Schalke 04 on seven represent the Ruhr industrial heartland, and Hamburger SV's six and VfB Stuttgart's five complete a competitive middle tier. Lokomotive Leipzig's three titles are a reminder of the separate East German championship.
