History

Borussia Friedenstal is founded in 1953. After a game just for fun in 1969 the women's department is established under the lead of Fritz Böke and Doris Henschel. Four years later Friedenstal begins participating in official games. 1975 Friedenstal gets promoted to the Bezirksliga and three years later another promotion brings the club to Germany's top tier football league, the Landesliga. In 1980 Borussia loses not in the final of the Westfalencup not until penalties to TSV Siegen, a club to become one of Germany's most successful women's teams. Friedenstal also qualifies for the Verbandsliga at its inception in 1981 and for the Regionalliga at its inception in 1985.

After withdrawing their team from the Regionalliga Friedenstal gets promoted to the Regionalliga again in 1993. An intermezzo in the Verbandsliga in 1995-96 ends without a loss and yet another promotion to the Regionalliga for Friedenstal. The club wins the Westfalenpokal in 2000 and 2001, thereby qualifying for the DFB Pokal and on both occasions reaching the round of 16 in the cup.

At the inception of the 2. Bundesliga in 2004 Friedenstal fails to qualify, but managed promotion as champion of the Regionalliga West in 2006. After just two years in the 2. Bundesliga the club's greatest success comes in form of the promotion to Germany's premier football league, the Bundesliga.
