Borussia Mönchengladbach (women) is a women's association football club from Mönchengladbach, Germany. It is part of the Borussia Mönchengladbach club.

History

The women's division of Borussia Mönchengladbach was established in 1995, thanks to the backing of manager Rolf Rüssmann. Beginning in the 1995–96 season in the district league, the club progressed steadily, earning promotion to the regional league three years later. After a runner-up position in 2008, Borussia advanced to the Regionalliga West the following year. The appointment of Friedel Baumann as head coach and Regina Weitz as his assistant marked the 2009–10 season,[1] where Borussia secured a second-place finish behind 1. FFC Recklinghausen. Subsequently, they clinched the championship in the following season, earning promotion to the 2. Bundesliga. However, a subsequent relegation to the Regionalliga occurred after narrowly finishing behind ETSV Würzburg on goal difference.

Following another runner-up position in the 2012–13 season, Borussia once again earned promotion to the 2. Bundesliga, where they achieved a historic second-place finish, leading to their first-ever promotion to the Bundesliga, since the division champions TSG 1899 Hoffenheim II were ineligible for promotion.[2] However, their top-flight stint in the 2016–17 season ended with a last-place finish and relegation to the second division. Despite this setback, they rebounded by winning the 2017–18 2. Bundesliga Nord, reclaiming their spot in the Bundesliga. Unfortunately, their second Bundesliga participation resulted in another last-place finish.

In the 2020–21 season, Borussia experienced a 3–1 aggregate defeat against 1899 Hoffenheim II, leading to their relegation to the Regionalliga. However, they bounced back in the 2022–23 season, clinching the top spot in the Regionalliga West and securing promotion to the second division after winning the promotion round against SV Elversberg.[3]
