women's football club based inPulheim ,North Rhine-Westphalia . It was founded when the women's section of Grün-Weiß Brauweiler in2000 established its own club. The team currently plays in the German third division.History
In
1974 Thomas Meyer established a training group which became the women's section of Grün-Weiß Brauweiler. The team played in the top division from the beginning on and relegations in1980 and1986 were followed by direct re-promotions. Despite three consecutive wins of the regional "Mittelrheinpokal" in 1989-91 Brauweiler did not qualify for the Bundesliga at its inception in 1990. The following season marked one of the clubs greatest successes as promotion to the Bundesliga was achieved. Brauweiler won the cup in the same season, being still the only time a club from the second division was able to achieve this feat. As of yet best team in the year after its promotion the club fought its way to the Bundesliga final, there losing to TSV Siegen. After winning another cup in 1993 and several second places in the league Brauweiler won its first and only championship in 1997. A week later the club's third cup win completed the Double.With a fourth place in 1997-98 Brauweiler qualified for the single-railed Bundesliga, but several seasons of mediocre performance followed. Eventually the team was relegated to the 2nd league in 2003-04. A direct re-promotion was followed by a year of constant fighting against being relegated yet again. The retirement of several core players led to a disastrous 2006-07 season where Brauweiler took loss after loss, resulting in relegation without having won a single point. The second consecutive relegetion followed right away in a season that also brought financial turmoil for Brauweiler, leaving the team to play in the third division for the first time.
