'''Aachener Turn- und Sportverein Alemannia 1900 e. V.''', short '''Alemannia Aachen''' ({{IPA|de|aleˈmani̯aː ˈʔaːxn̩}}), is a [[football in Germany|German football club]] from the western city of [[Aachen]], North Rhine-Westphalia. A long-term fixture of the country's [[2. Bundesliga|second division]], Alemannia enjoyed a three-year turn in the [[Bundesliga]] in the late 1960s and, after a successful 2005–06 campaign, returned to the first division for a [[2006–07 Bundesliga|single season]]. The club slipped to third-division play and in late 2012 entered into bankruptcy. They finished their 2012–13 [[3. Liga]] schedule before resuming play in the tier IV [[Regionalliga West]] in 2013–14.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Alemannia Aachen muss Insolvenz anmelden |publisher=[[Aachener Zeitung]] |date=16 November 2012 |url=http://www.aachener-zeitung.de/sixcms/detail.php?template=az_detail&id=2909075&_wo=News%3ATopnews&_g=Alemannia-Aachen-muss-Insolvenz-anmelden }}{{dead link|date=December 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

In the [[2023–24 Regionalliga]], Alemannia finished 1st in the West Group, which got them immediately promoted to the [[2024–25 3. Liga]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-05-01 |title=Alemannias elfjährige Profi-Abstinenz in der Regionalliga |url=https://www.aachener-zeitung.de/lokales/region-aachen/aachen/alemannias-elfjaehrige-profi-abstinenz-in-der-regionalliga/11986890.html |access-date=2024-05-01 |website=aachener-zeitung-online |language=de}}</ref>

Alemannia carries the nickname "the [[potato beetle]]s" (Kartoffelkäfer) because of their traditionally striped yellow-black jerseys, which make them look like the particular insects. The home of Alemannia is the [[New Tivoli|Tivoli]].

==History==
===Foundation to World War II===
In the second half of the 19th century, resident English workers and businessmen brought football, in addition to the traditional equestrian sports, into the western [[Rhineland]]. The club was founded on 16 December 1900<ref>{{Cite web |date=1960 |title=Over 150 years in the spirit of democracy and tolerance |url=https://alemannia-freiburg.de/en/history |access-date=9 June 2024 |website=alemannia-freiburg.de}}</ref> by a group of eighteen high school students. Knowing that another team had already taken the name 1. FC Aachen, the new club was christened FC Alemannia, using the Latin word for Germany (see [[Alamannia]]). The First World War devastated the club: the pre-war membership of 200 was reduced to a mere 37 by the conflict. In early 1919 Alemannia merged with local sports club [https://atv1847.de/ Aachener Turnverein]<ref>{{Cite web |last=Turnverein |first=Aachener |date=2008 |title=Sport Für Alle |url=https://atv1847.de/ |access-date=June 9, 2024 |website=atv1847.de}}</ref> 1847 to become TSV Alemannia Aachen 1900. Their new partner's interest was primarily in gymnastics rather than football and as a result the union was short-lived, with the clubs splitting again in 1924.

The city of Aachen is very near the [[Belgium|Belgian]] and [[Netherlands|Dutch]] borders and as a result Alemannia has had frequent contact with clubs from those countries. Their first game was against the Belgian side [[List of football clubs in Belgium|R. Dolhain F.C.]], one of that country's earliest clubs. There are intensive and friendly contacts with the Dutch professional club [[Roda JC Kerkrade]]. Both clubs have the same club colors.

The team played in the Rhineland-Westphalia FA and won its first championship<ref>{{Cite web |last=M. Breuer |first=Laumen |date=2010 |title=Spieldaten |url=https://www.alemannia-aachen.de/profis/spielinfo/Alemannia-Aachen-FC-Dordrecht-99509V/ |access-date=9 June 2024 |website=alemannia-aachen.de}}</ref> there in 1907, before joining the newly formed Westdeutsche Fussball Verband in 1909. The club grew steadily as interest in football increased. They qualified for the Rheingauliga in 1921, built their own stadium in 1928, and earned admittance to the Oberliga the following year.

The club enjoyed some success in the early 1930s by advancing to the final four of the Westdeutsche championship playoffs. In 1933, German football was re-organized under the [[Third Reich]] into sixteen top-flight [[Gauligen]]. Alemannia played several seasons in the [[Gauliga Mittelrhein]] in the late 1930s and early 1940s. They finished top in their division in 1938 and advanced to the national final rounds. This was in spite of a protest by [[SV Beuel 06]] which ultimately saw that club awarded the division championship, but too late to allow Beuel to play in the national playoff in Aachen's stead.

Alemannia is known as one of the few sports clubs of this era to offer any challenge to the [[Nazism|Nazi]] regime's purge of Jews from the country's sports organizations by demanding the release of a jailed Jewish member.

===Postwar and entry to the Bundesliga===
In 1946, after World War II and the lifting of the ban placed by Allied occupation authorities on most types of organizations in Germany, ''Alemannia'' re-constituted itself and began play in second tier Rheinbezirk. They returned to first division play in the Oberliga West the next year, but ran into financial difficulty. They remained a steady, but unspectacular second division side, generally finishing mid-table.

Aachen's first measure of success came with an advance to the [[DFB-Pokal]] final in 1953 where they lost a 1–2 decision to [[Rot-Weiss Essen]].

After the formation of the [[Bundesliga]], Germany's new professional football league, in 1963, Alemannia found themselves in Regionalliga West (II). In 1965, they had another good run in German Cup competition, earning another final appearance&nbsp;– but were once again unsuccessful&nbsp;– this time losing 0–2 to [[Borussia Dortmund]].

The club captured their division in 1967 and were promoted to the Bundesliga (I) for the 1967–68 season. They enjoyed their best ever result the next year with a second-place finish behind champion [[Bayern Munich]]. However, the following season was a disaster: the team earned only one point in play away from home and toppled to an 18th-place finish. They returned to play in the Regionalliga West (II), and in 1990 fell still further to the third division.

===Road to recovery===
[[File:Alemannia Aachen.png|thumb|150px|Former logo of Alemannia Aachen]]

After several mediocre seasons in the second half of the 1990s, trainer [[Werner Fuchs]] rejuvenated the Alemannia squad by playing 4–4–2 without a [[Libero (football)|libero]] (sweeper), creating a side that played an attractive, fluid offense. In 1999, the team played well and delivered an especially strong second half. They were atop the table, just weeks away from the end of the season, when tragedy struck with the unexpected death of Fuchs. The whole city was in shock, but the club managed to pull through, dedicating their promotion to their late trainer and winning the [[Regionalliga West/Südwest]] (III).<ref>[http://www.ochehoppaz.de/Danke_Werner.htm Im memoriam Werner Fuchs] {{in lang|de}}</ref> The first years in the [[2. Bundesliga]] were tough for Aachen, both on the field and financially. The club struggled for several seasons and the situation was worsened when financial irregularities were uncovered showing the club was near bankruptcy.

The turnaround came with a new executive board under president Horst Heinrichs, trainer [[Dieter Hecking]] and manager [[Jörg Schmadtke]]. Through improved financial management, shrewd player signings, and clever game tactics, ''Aachen'' became a power once again in the 2003–04 season. They played their way to their third DFB-Pokal final appearance, knocking off [[TSV 1860 Munich]], [[Bayern Munich]], and [[Borussia Mönchengladbach]], before losing 2–3 to Bundesliga champions [[Werder Bremen]]. As league champions Bremen already held a place in the [[UEFA Champions League]], thereby making room for Aachen to take part in the [[2004–05 UEFA Cup|UEFA Cup]] competition. They delivered a decent performance, advancing to the Round of 32 before going out to eventual semi-finalists [[AZ Alkmaar]]. The club's participation in the German Cup and UEFA Cup play helped to significantly improve their financial situation.

===Bundesliga and 2. Bundesliga===
On 16 April 2006, Alemannia became the first team to earn promotion to the Bundesliga in 2005–06, ending Aachen's 36-year absence from top-flight football. However, they stayed up only a single season as they took only one point from their last eight matches of the campaign. In the middle of 2007, the club appointed former German international defender and 1990 FIFA World Champion [[Guido Buchwald]] as manager trainer, who was fired after only 14 matches. After a short interim with Alemannia's Sportsmanger Jörg Schmadtke as headcoach, he was then replaced by [[Jürgen Seeberger]], hardly known in Germany, in the winter break of the season.

The club suffered a rapid decline after its single Bundesliga season, being relegated from the 2. Bundesliga in 2012 and from the [[3. Liga]] the 2013 season. Alemannia returned to 3. Liga in 2024.<ref>{{Cite web |date=27 April 2024 |title=Κάηκε το Αάχεν για την επιστροφή της Αλεμάνια στις επαγγελματικές κατηγορίες μετά από έντεκα χρόνια! |url=https://www.sport-fm.gr/article/podosfairo/bundesliga/germania-anebike-stis-epaggelmatikes-katigories-i-aaxen/4979702 |access-date=1 July 2024 |website=sport-fm.gr}}</ref> The seasons '''2024-25''', '''2025-26''' has remained to [[3.
