Eintracht Frankfurt Women

The club has its origin as SG Praunheim, with Praunheim establishing its women's football department in 1973. This iteration of the club did not participate in the national championship or cup tournaments, but nonetheless was included in the nascent Bundesliga at its inception in 1990. 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 the first professional club model in German women's football. 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, often behind 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. In 2003–04, the club was overtaken by new title rivals Turbine Potsdam, who won a double of their own to leave Frankfurt without a trophy after the club had won ten titles in the previous five years.

European success eluded the German clubs in the second and third seasons of the UEFA Women's Cup, as Umeå from Sweden won two consecutive titles, brushing Frankfurt away 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. After a 4–0 victory at Potsdam in the first leg, the club coasted to their second European title with a 3–2 victory in the return fixture. The second leg of the final was attended by a record crowd of 13,100, with German chancellor Angela Merkel amongst the spectators.

Having lost the preceding three domestic cup finals to Potsdam, the club won another domestic double in 2006–07, but lost in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Women's Cup to Norwegian club Kolbotn. In the 2007–08 season, they won their second treble, with the second leg of the final against Umeå attended by 27,640, a new record attendance for a women's club football game in Europe at the time.

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, and they did not reach the DFB-Pokal Frauen final for the first time since 1998 after losing in the second round to Bayern Munich. This marked their worst domestic 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.
