The club was founded on 4 February 1899 as Fußballverein Werder by a group of sixteen vocational high school students who had won a prize of sports equipment to set them on their way. They took their name from the seldom used regional German word for “river peninsula”, describing the riverside field they first played football on. Werder Bremen has grown to 39,100 members.

Bremen have been a mainstay in the Bundesliga, top tier of the German football league system. Bremen have been crowned champions on four occasions and have won the DFB-Pokal on six occasions. Their most recent achievements in these competitions came in 2004, when they won an historic double. Bremen have also tasted European success, beating AS Monaco in the 1992 European Cup Winners' Cup Final, 2–0. Bremen also reached the final of the last edition of the UEFA Cup in 2009, before it was rebranded as the UEFA Europa League, where they met Ukrainian side Shakhtar Donetsk. Shakhtar won the final 2–1 in extra time. Before they had two season without playing in an international league they were counted as the second best team in the German Bundesliga. Now the BVB counts together with Bayern München as the best team of Germany. Werder Bremen still counts as the best team in northern Germany even if Hannover 96 was more successful in the last two years.

STADIUM HISTORY: (wiki)
The Weserstadion is a multi-purpose stadium in Bremen, Germany. The Weserstadion is scenically situated on the north bank of the Weser River and is surrounded by lush green parks (the name 'Werder' is a regional German word for “river peninsula”). The city center is only about a kilometer away. It is the home stadium of German Bundesliga club Werder Bremen.

It presented a bid to be a host city in the 2006 FIFA World Cup, which was ultimately turned down.

Legendary artists that have performed at the stadium include Bon Jovi, Michael Jackson, Depeche Mode, Metallica, The Rolling Stones, Guns N' Roses, Tina Turner and Van Halen, among others.

The Weser Stadium is in a current state of modification, for the most part controlled by Hauke Wilkens.[citation needed] The Stadium will be transformed into a pure football venue, with the purpose of tightening the atmosphere by moving the spectators closer to the pitch.[1] Modifications therefore include the removal of the space in front of the curves with the addition of a third tier.
