Borussia is a Latinized form of Prussia, a popular term

for German clubs in the former Kingdom of Prussia. The
clubs nickname is Die Fohlen [di foln] (The Foals),
coined in the 1970s due to having a young team with a
fast, aggressive playing style. They also frequently refer
to themselves as Die Fohlenelf (The Foals Eleven), a
nickname displayed on their shirts. The ocial mascot
of the club is the foal Jnter.

Eventually Mnchengladbach resumed play in June 1946,
gaining successive promotions to the Landesliga Niederrhein (the regional second tier) in 1949 and the top ight:
the Oberliga West in 1950. Following many years of promotions and relegations, Borussia won their rst Oberliga
title in the 195859 season.

History

1.4 Ascent to the Bundesliga

Formation

In August 1960 Borussia Mnchengladbach defeated 1.

FC Kln in the West German Cup. Weeks later, the club
won the DFB-Pokal, clinching their rst national honours, beating Karlsruher SC 32 in the nal. The following year took on the now familiar name Borussia VfL
Mnchengladbach after the city of Mnchen-Gladbach
became Mnchengladbach. Further honours would have
to wait a decade, however. Borussia's results in the ten
years leading up to the formation of the Bundesliga in
1963 were not good enough to earn them admission into
the ranks of the nations new top ight professional league
and so they played in the second tier, the Regionalliga
West.

Borussia Mnchengladbach were formed as FC Borussia in 1900 in the Eicken district of Mnchengladbach.
Borussia derives from the Latinized form of Prussia, the
Kingdom in which Mnchengladbach was situated from
1815. By 1912, Die Borussen found themselves in the
Verbandsliga, at the time the highest division the club
could play in.

In March 1914, the club purchased De Kull, the ground

on which the Bkelbergstadion would be built. The First
World War halted the progress of both the stadium and
FC Borussia, but by late 1917 the team had begun to play
games once more. In 1919, FC Borussia merged with Mnchengladbach enjoyed their rst taste of the Bunanother local club, Turnverein Germania 1889, becoming desliga in the 196566 season, earning promotion along1

side future powerhouse Bayern Munich. The two clubs

would go on to a erce struggle as they challenged each
other for domestic supremacy throughout the 1970s. Bayern took rst blood in the struggle for supremacy between
the two: winning the Bundesliga championship in 1969.
Mnchengladbach struck back immediately in the next
season with a championship of their own and followed up
with a second title in 1971, becoming the rst Bundesliga
club ever to successfully defend their title.

1970s: Borussias Golden Decade

Bayern Munich then became the rst club to win three

consecutive titles, with Borussia nishing only a point
behind the champions in 1974. Die Fohlen were able
to take some consolation in a 21 victory over 1. FC
Kln in 1973 to win their second DFB-Pokal. Under
coach Hennes Weisweiler, the young side displayed an
oensive-minded philosophy and powerful play that attracted fans from all over Germany. The team stayed
on the attack and matched Bayerns achievement with
three consecutive titles of their own from 1975 to 1977.
Mnchengladbach lost the 1977 nal of the European
Cup to Liverpool, but also made four appearances in the
UEFA Cup with wins in 1975 and 1979 against losses in
1973 and 1980. The clubs spectacular run had come to
an end with eight trophies to their credit, and although Borussia Mnchengladbach against Borussia Dortmund in April
they would continue to be competitive for many years, 2012
success would be much harder to come by.[3]
nally, in 1999, Gladbach were relegated to 2. Bundesliga,
where they would spend two seasons. Upon returning

the 2014-15 Bundesliga season in third placed, saving the
club a place for direct qualication to the 201516 UEFA

Manager Lucien Favre

Under coach Lucien Favre, who took over in January

2011, Borussia Mnchengladbach has in recent years
shown ambitions to re-establish themselves in the top regions of the Bundesliga. In the 201011 season, after a
disastrous rst half of the season, Borussia Mnchengladbach managed to narrowly avoid relegation through the
post-season relegation play-os. The following season,
201112, followed this up with a strong season in which
they were for much of the year in contention for the championship and eventually nished in fourth place. They
missed out on qualication to the 201213 UEFA Champions League after losing 43 on aggregate to Ukrainian
club Dynamo Kyiv in the playo round. During the
201213 Bundesliga season, after losing some key players, notably Marco Reus who was voted player of the
year in the Bundesliga in the previous season, Borussia Mnchengladbach still contended for the international
places until the last match day, eventually nishing in 8th
place.
