SV Werder Bremen History
|
Sportverein Werder Bremen is one of
the major soccer clubs playing in the German Premier League, the
Bundesliga. Its stadium is the 42,266 capacity Weserstadion
named after the River Weser in Bremen.
Werder Bremen was founded on February 4th, 1899. After numerous
regional successes and cup wins, its first nationwide success
was the German Cup 1961. When the Bundesliga was formed in 1962,
Bremen was the champion in its second season, 1965.
It left the Premier League in 1980 for one season, and returned
with its new coach Otto Rehhagel to a string of successes:
runner up in 1983 and 1986, and another champion title in 1988.
In the German Cup, Werder went to the Finals in 1989 and 1990,
and finally won it in 1991. In the subsequent European Cup
Winners' Cup, Bremen was also successful and won it 1992. 1993
Werder became champion for a third time. The German cup was won
again in the following year, 1994.
In 1995, Rehhagel left the team to coach Bayern München, and
that caused a crisis was not resolved until 1999 by freshly
appointed coach Thomas Schaaf; Bremen won against Bayern München
in the cup final. In the years afterward it stabilized itself in
the top half of the league.
In 2004, five years after Thomas Schaaf took over, Werder Bremen
won its fourth Championship, establishing a 9 point lead with 2
matches left in an away game at arch-rival Bayern München,
winning 3:1 (3:0). They also defeated Second Bundesliga side
Alemannia Aachen 3:2 in the German Cup final, winning the cup
for the fifth time. Only four teams in Germany have ever
achieved being Champions and Cup Winner in one season (a Double).
Having qualified for the UEFA Champions League, Werder defeated
the current Spanish champion Valencia CF 2:0 (0:0) to advance
into the round of 16. |
