Dortmund was established in 1909, by a gathering of eighteen young people despondent with the nearby pastor's treatment of their congregation supported football group. Being a generally little club, Dortmund's aspirations were direct to begin with. The club scarcely stayed away from liquidation in 1929, and being a hostile to Nazi arranged club amid the Third Reich administration surely didn't improve the situation. Their first taste of flatware came in the mid-50s, with two back to back national titles in 1956 and 1957.
Having substantiated themselves by winning the last German national title ever held (1963), Dortmund were among the sixteen clubs welcomed to play in the recently framed Bundesliga. All in all, the 60s were a productive period for the club, which asserted its first DFB-Pokal in 1965 and its first and final Glass Champs' Container the next year. This would be their last trophy for some time, as the following three decades were full of consistent money related inconveniences.
Indeed, even with the club winning its second DFB-Pokal in 1989, what's to come wasn't looking too brilliant. Their fortunes would at long last change with the contracting of Ottmar Hitzfeld in 1992; with the virtuoso strategist in control, Dortmund took off to the highest point of German football. Subsequent to winning two back to back Bundesliga titles in 1995 and 1996, Dortmund set off to overcome whatever remains of Europe. In 1997, they progressed to the Champions Association finals, where they conveniently crushed the favored Juventus 3-1.
The loss of Hitzfeld to Bayern Munich after the Champions Alliance triumph was an intense pill to swallow, however their budgetary inconveniences would demonstrate a considerably more noteworthy obstacle. After Dortmund turned into the main German football club to enter money markets at the turn of the thousand years, their shares had begun falling and the club got itself profoundly owing debtors. The Bundesliga title in 2002 was insufficient to turn the tide, and the club needed to fall back on offering their best players so as to survive.
Thus of a sponsorship manage an insurance agency, Westfalenstadion would in 2005 change name to Flag Iduna Stop temporarily (until 2021).
After two or three hopeless seasons, Jürgen Klopp's entry in 2008 would set them back making a course for significance. Under his authority, Dortmund would turn out to be the main genuine challenger to Bayern; their reignited competition was the fundamental idea of German football in the years that took after. Amid Klopp's seven years in charge, Dortmund guaranteed two more Bundesliga titles (2011 and 2012) and their third DFB-Pokal (2012), yet lost to Bayern in the 2013 Champions Class last.
