How many Bundesliga titles does Gladbach have?
Borussia Mönchengladbach has won the German championship five times. All of these titles were secured in the 1970s, making that decade the club's absolute golden era. This makes Gladbach one of only 13 clubs to have ever won the Bundesliga. The Foals were even the first club to manage to defend the championship in two consecutive seasons. This historic achievement came in the 1969/70 and 1970/71 campaigns.
When was Gladbach's most successful period?
The 1970s were the dominant era for Borussia Mönchengladbach. In this decade, the club secured all five of its Bundesliga championships. This series established Gladbach as one of Germany's strongest football powers and forged the myth of the "Fohlen". The team played an offensive and attractive brand of football that thrilled the league. This success story still forms the foundation of the club's identity today, even though the last title is now several decades in the past.
Which other clubs have won the Bundesliga?
Besides Bayern Munich, Dortmund, and Gladbach, nine other clubs have won the championship at least once. Werder Bremen follows with four titles, including a double in 2004. Hamburg and VfB Stuttgart have each celebrated three championships. 1. FC Köln, the very first Bundesliga champion, and 1. FC Kaiserslautern have each won two titles. Kaiserslautern pulled off the remarkable feat of winning the title immediately after promotion in 1998. Five clubs have won the league exactly once: 1860 Munich, Eintracht Braunschweig, 1. FC Nürnberg, VfL Wolfsburg, and most recently Bayer 04 Leverkusen.
What makes Leverkusen's title special?
Bayer 04 Leverkusen made history in the 2023/24 season when the club won its first German championship. This made Leverkusen the 13th different champion in the Bundesliga. The team under coach Xabi Alonso accomplished a unique feat by remaining undefeated for the entire season. This was the first time in the league's history that a team completed an unbeaten championship campaign. This title interrupted the long dominance of FC Bayern Munich and proved that the league can remain exciting and unpredictable.
What is Gladbach's current situation?
The current sporting situation for Borussia Mönchengladbach is challenging. The concluded 2025 season saw the club finish in 14th place in the table. From 29 games, they secured seven wins, nine draws, and suffered 13 defeats. The record of 35 goals scored and 49 conceded results in a negative goal difference of -14. Recent form showing loss, draw, draw, win, loss highlights the inconsistency. Ahead of the important away match at RB Leipzig, which according to the stats will be a tough challenge, the team must find stability. The full season schedule is available on our fixtures page.
