==Career==
Rummenigge was born in [[Lippstadt]], [[North Rhine-Westphalia]]. At the beginning of his career, he did not have it easy as a player with the Bayern Munich star team. He was often compared to his older brother, [[Karl-Heinz Rummenigge]], captain of FC Bayern Munich and the Germany national team. Rummenigge joined Bayern Munich in 1981 as a member of the German junior national team at the age of 17, coming from Borussia Lippstadt. His brother, Karl-Heinz, was already an international top star player. Rummenigge became a professional player in Munich in 1982 and a starter in his second season in 1983. He played for Bayern Munich till 1988. By that time his team had won the German championship three times and the DFB-Pokal two times (in 1984 and 1986).

During his career, Rummenigge was capped twice for the Germany national team and represented Germany on two occasions in 1983 and 1986.<ref>{{Cite web | url = https://www.rsssf.org/miscellaneous/mrummenigge-intl.html | title = Michael Rummenigge - International Appearances | first = Matthias | last = Arnhold | date = 13 September 2018 | accessdate = 25 September 2018 | publisher = [[Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation|RSSSF]]}}</ref>

In 1988, he changed team affiliation to Borussia Dortmund. In spite of not being very popular with Borussia's supporters in the beginning, he won the DFB-Pokal with Dortmund by the end of his first season – the first title for Borussia Dortmund since the 1960s. Borussia Dortmund defeated Werder Bremen 4–1 in Berlin.

In 1991–92, after the arrival of the new BVB coach, [[Ottmar Hitzfeld]], he was appointed captain of the team. In the same year, Borussia Dortmund became the runner-up in the German championship. In 1993, he played in the UEFA Cup final for Borussia Dortmund against Juventus. Dortmund lost 6–1 on aggregate with Rummenigge scoring their only goal.
