===Early years (1900s–1960s)===
[[File:Fcn-fcb1901.jpg|thumb|left|The first game of Bayern Munich against [[1. FC Nürnberg]] in 1901]]
Bayern Munich was founded by members of a Munich gymnastics club (MTV 1879). When a congregation of members of MTV 1879 decided on 27 February 1900 that the footballers of the club would not be allowed to join the [[German Football Association]] (DFB), eleven members of the football division left the congregation and on the same evening founded Fußball-Club Bayern München. Within a few months, Bayern achieved high-scoring victories against all local rivals, including a 15–0 win against Nordstern,<ref>{{cite web |date=22 May 2015 |title=Bayern fans bring club's earliest years to light |url=http://www.thelocal.de/20150522/fc-bayern-fans-early-history-rediscovered |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150525162232/http://www.thelocal.de/20150522/fc-bayern-fans-early-history-rediscovered |archive-date=25 May 2015 |access-date=30 May 2015 |website=The Local}}</ref> and reached the semi-finals of the 1900–01 [[Southern German football championship|South German championship]].<ref name="fcbbook1stch" /> In the following years, the club won some local trophies, and, in 1910–11, Bayern joined the newly founded "Kreisliga", the first regional Bavarian league. The club won this league in its first year, but did not win it again until the beginning of the [[First World War]] in 1914, which halted all football activities in Germany.<ref name="bayernhistory0045">{{cite web |title=1900 bis 1932: Von Beginn an erfolgreich |trans-title=1900 to 1932: Successful from the start |url=http://fcb-erlebniswelt.de/de/historie/meilensteine-ab-1900/1900-1932/index.php |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141028114211/http://fcb-erlebniswelt.de/de/historie/meilensteine-ab-1900/1900-1932/index.php |archive-date=28 October 2014 |access-date=28 September 2014 |publisher=FC Bayern Munich Official Website |language=de }}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Schulze-Marmeling |first=Dietrich |title=Die Bayern.

The rise of [[Adolf Hitler]] to power put an abrupt end to Bayern's development. Club president [[Kurt Landauer]] and the coach, both of whom were Jewish, left the country. Many others in the club were also purged. Bayern was taunted as the "[[Judenklub|Jew's club]]", while local rival [[TSV 1860 Munich|1860 Munich]] gained much support. Josef Sauter, who was inaugurated in 1943, was the only NSDAP member as president. After a friendly match in Switzerland, some Bayern players greeted Landauer, who was a spectator, and the club was subject to continued discrimination.<ref name="landauer">{{cite news |date=28 May 2003 |title=Onkel Kurt und die Bayern |url=http://www.zeit.de/2003/23/Sport_2flandauer/komplettansicht |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141017200655/http://www.zeit.de/2003/23/Sport_2flandauer/komplettansicht |archive-date=17 October 2014 |access-date=16 October 2014 |website=Die Zeit |language=de |last1=Faller |first1=Heike }}</ref> Bayern was also affected by the ruling that football players had to be full amateurs again, which led to the move of gifted young centre-forward [[Oskar Rohr]] to [[Swiss national football team|Switzerland]]. In the following years, Bayern could not sustain its role of contender for the national title, achieving mid-table results in its regional league instead.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Schulze-Marmeling |first=Dietrich |title=Die Bayern.

After the end of the [[Second World War]] in 1945, Bayern became a member of the [[Oberliga Süd (1945–63)|Oberliga Süd]], the southern conference of the German first division, which was split five ways at that time. Bayern struggled, hiring and firing 13 coaches between 1945 and 1963. Landauer returned from exile in 1947, and was once again appointed club president, the tenure lasted until 1951. He remains as the club's president with the longest accumulated tenure. Landauer has been deemed the most important figure in Bayern's transition to a professional club.<ref>{{cite web |title=Kurt Landauer: Der Mann, der den FC Bayern erfand |url=http://www.br.de/fernsehen/bayerisches-fernsehen/sendungen/kurt-landauer-der-film/index.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141015172638/http://www.br.de/fernsehen/bayerisches-fernsehen/sendungen/kurt-landauer-der-film/index.html |archive-date=15 October 2014 |access-date=16 October 2014 |publisher=[[Bayerischer Rundfunk]] |language=de }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |date=14 October 2014 |title=DFB-Auszeichnung: Bayern-Ultras erhalten Julius-Hirsch-Preis |url=http://www.spiegel.de/sport/fussball/fc-bayern-muenchen-schickeria-ultras-erhalten-julius-hirsch-preis-a-997151.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141018005832/http://www.spiegel.de/sport/fussball/fc-bayern-muenchen-schickeria-ultras-erhalten-julius-hirsch-preis-a-997151.html |archive-date=18 October 2014 |access-date=16 October 2014 |website=Der Spiegel |language=de }}</ref> In 1955, the club was relegated but returned to the ''Oberliga'' in the following season and won the [[DFB-Pokal]] for the first time, beating [[Fortuna Düsseldorf]] 1–0 in the [[DFB-Pokal 1956–57#Final|final]].<ref>{{Cite book |last=Schulze-Marmeling |first=Dietrich |title=Die Bayern.

The club struggled financially, though, verging on bankruptcy at the end of the 1950s. President Reitlinger was ousted in the club's elections of 1958 by the industrialist Roland Endler, who provided financial stability for the club. Under his reign, Bayern had its best years in the Oberliga.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Schulze-Marmeling |first=Dietrich |title=Die Bayern.

In 1963, the Oberligas in Germany were consolidated into one national league, the [[Bundesliga]]. Five teams from the Oberliga South were admitted. The key to qualifying for the Bundesliga was the accumulated record of the last twelve years, where Bayern was only the sixth-ranked club. To boot, local rivals [[TSV 1860 Munich|1860 Munich]], ranked seventh, were champions of the last Oberliga-Süd season and were given preference on the basis of this achievement.<ref>Hardy Grüne, Christian Karn: Das große Buch der deutschen Fußballvereine.

FC Köln]] to the national championship. Fielding a team with young players like [[Franz Beckenbauer]], [[Gerd Müller]] and [[Sepp Maier]]&nbsp;– who would later be collectively referred to as ''the axis'', they achieved promotion to the Bundesliga in 1965.<ref name="bayernhistory4667" />

In their first Bundesliga [[1965–66 Bundesliga|season]], Bayern finished third and also won the [[DFB-Pokal 1965–66|DFB-Pokal]]. This qualified them for the following year's [[1966–67 European Cup Winners' Cup|European Cup Winners' Cup]], which they won in the [[1967 European Cup Winners' Cup Final|final]] against Scottish club [[Rangers F.C.|Rangers]], [[Franz Roth]] scoring the decider in a 1–0 [[Overtime (sports)|extra time]] victory.<ref name="bayernhistory4667" /> In 1967, Bayern retained the [[DFB-Pokal 1966–67|DFB-Pokal]], but slow overall progress saw [[Branko Zebec]] take over as coach. He replaced Bayern's offensive style of play with a more disciplined approach, and in doing so achieved the first [[1968–69 Bundesliga|league]] and [[1968–69 DFB-Pokal|cup]] [[Double (association football)|double]] in Bundesliga history in 1969. Bayern Munich are one of five German clubs to win the Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal in the same season along with [[Borussia Dortmund]], [[1. FC Köln]], [[SV Werder Bremen|Werder Bremen]] and [[Bayer 04 Leverkusen|Bayer Leverkusen]]. Zebec used only 13 players throughout [[1968–69 FC Bayern Munich season|the season]].<ref>{{Cite book |last=Schulze-Marmeling |first=Dietrich |title=Die Bayern.

[[Udo Lattek]] took charge in 1970. After winning the [[DFB-Pokal 1970–71|DFB-Pokal]] in [[1970–71 FC Bayern Munich season|his first season]], Lattek led Bayern to their [[1971–72 Bundesliga|third German championship]]. The deciding match in the [[1971–72 FC Bayern Munich season|1971–72]] season against [[FC Schalke 04|Schalke 04]] was the first match in the new [[Olympiastadion (Munich)|Olympiastadion]], and was also the first live televised match in Bundesliga history.

During the following years, the team was unsuccessful domestically, but defended their European title by defeating [[Leeds United F.C.|Leeds United]] in the [[1975 European Cup final]], when Roth and Müller secured victory with late goals. "We came back into the game and scored two lucky goals, so in the end, we were the winners, but we were very, very lucky", stated Franz Beckenbauer. [[Billy Bremner]] believed the French referee was "very suspicious".

===From FC Breitnigge to FC Hollywood (1970s–1990s)===
The 1980s were a period of off-field turmoil for Bayern, with many changes in personnel and financial problems. On the field, [[Paul Breitner]] and [[Karl-Heinz Rummenigge]], termed "FC Breitnigge", led the team to Bundesliga titles in [[1979–80 Bundesliga|1980]] and [[1980–81 Bundesliga|1981]]. Apart from a DFB-Pokal win in [[1981–82 DFB-Pokal|1982]], two relatively unsuccessful seasons followed, after which Breitner retired, and former coach Udo Lattek returned. Bayern won the DFB-Pokal in [[DFB-Pokal 1983–84|1984]] and went on to win five Bundesliga championships in six seasons, including a [[Double (association football)|double]] in [[1985–86 FC Bayern Munich season|1986]]. European success, however, was elusive during the decade; Bayern, though, finished as runner-up in the European Cups of [[1981–82 European Cup|1982]] and [[1986–87 European Cup|1987]].<ref>{{Cite book |last=Schulze-Marmeling |first=Dietrich |title=Die Bayern.

[[Jupp Heynckes]] was hired as coach in 1987, but after two consecutive championships in [[1988–89 Bundesliga|1988–89]] and [[1989–90 Bundesliga|1989–90]], Bayern's form dipped. After finishing second in [[1990–91 Bundesliga|1990–91]], the club finished just five points above the relegation places in [[1991–92 Bundesliga|1991–92]]. In [[1993–94 FC Bayern Munich season|1993–94]], Bayern was eliminated in the [[1993–94 UEFA Cup|UEFA Cup]] second round to [[Premier League]] side [[Norwich City F.C.|Norwich City]], who were the only English club to beat Bayern at the Olympiastadion during Bayern's time playing there.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Staffpublished |first=P.
