Eintracht Frankfurt Women

The club has its origin as SG Praunheim. At Praunheim a women's football department was established in 1973. The club had no showings at national championship or cup tournaments, but managed qualification for the Bundesliga at its inception in 1990 nonetheless. In the early 1990s Praunheim achieved mid-table results with a tendency for slight improvements from season to season.

The foundation for the club's later success was laid in the 1993–94 season when former captain Monika Staab as coach and head of the women's football division and Siegfried Dietrich as manager and investor developed a professional concept to lead the club to lasting success – the first such concept in German women's football. Thus the club qualified for the playoffs for the German football championship for the first time in 1995–96, losing the final 0–1 to TSV Siegen. In the following seasons they managed to stay amongst the top clubs in German football, but won no titles. Also during that time they were always put behind by local rival FSV Frankfurt.

On 1 January 1999, the women's department left Praunheim to form 1. FFC Frankfurt. The club had success immediately winning the cup and the championship in their first season. In 1999–2000 they won their second cup, but lost the championship to FCR Duisburg. From 2000 to 2003 the club won three consecutive doubles while also rising to the pinnacle of European football with a victory in the UEFA Women's Cup's inaugural season in 2002. During these years a club from Potsdam had begun to challenge the club's supremacy. Thus in 2003–04 Turbine Potsdam won a double of their own, leaving the club without a title after winning ten titles in five years.

In the following seasons both clubs retained their dominance in German football, but European success was elusive as Umeå from Sweden won two consecutive titles in the UEFA Women's Cup, also brushing away the club 8–0 on aggregate in the 2004 final. After Turbine had won its own UEFA Women's Cup title in 2005 both clubs met in the 2006 UEFA Women's Cup final. Thanks to a 4–0 victory at Potsdam in the first leg, the club was able to claim their second European title. The final was attended by a record crowd of 13,100 and even German chancellor Angela Merkel was amongst the spectators.

Having conceded the preceding three cup finals to Potsdam, the club won another double in 2006–07, but lost in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Women's Cup to Norwegian Kolbotn. They won their second treble in the 2007–08, thus becoming the first and as yet only club to win the UEFA Women's Cup three times. The second leg of the final against Umeå was attended by 27,640, a new record attendance for a women's club football game in Europe.

The club's performance dropped considerably in the 2008–09 season. A fourth-place finish in the league was the club's worst performance since a uniform Bundesliga was put into place. Also they did not reach the cup final for the first time since 1998, losing in the second round to Bayern Munich, thus marking their worst cup performance since 1991–92. In the UEFA Women's Cup, they were eliminated by FCR 2001 Duisburg in the quarter-finals.

In 2019, the club announced a proposed merger with the men's football club Eintracht Frankfurt. The merger was confirmed in June 2020 and, starting from 1 July 2020, the club would now compete as the women's football department of Eintracht Frankfurt. In addition to the first team, the department would include up to five women's teams competing at various levels of women's football.
