Bayern Munich and the German title

No club dominates its domestic league like Bayern Munich. Their 35 German championships, including an unmatched eleven in a row between 2013 and 2023, have made the Bundesliga title feel almost like their private property in the modern era.

History tells a richer story, though. Before the Bundesliga was founded in 1963, German football crowned national champions from a patchwork of regional leagues, and it was 1. FC Nürnberg and Schalke 04 who led the way. Their totals of 9 and 7 keep the pioneers near the top of the all-time list.

In recent decades Borussia Dortmund have been the most persistent challengers, twice winning back-to-back titles, while Bayer Leverkusen's first-ever championship in 2024 proved that even Bayern's grip can occasionally be broken.
