HISTORY
Bayern Munich was formed 119 years ago in 1900 by the members of the Munich gymnastics Club. Bayern had to wait for 32 years for its first national championship.
Bayern Munich was derided as the Jew’s Club as many of the club officials had to leave Germany due to the rise of Nazism in the country. In 1955, the club avoided bankruptcy narrowly. The Club was only saved when they won the DFB-Pokal in 1957.
