West German champions (1973–1997)[edit]

The German women's football championship was first held in 1973–74. Until 1989–90 the German championship was held as a single-elimination tournament. A nationwide league, the Bundesliga was incepted in 1990–91. As the league consisted of two divisions playoffs were still held at the end of the season. In 1991–92 one club from former East Germany was admitted to each division of the Bundesliga, both were relegated at the end of the season, though.
