Report

Muenchen Rangers take part in the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Munich. With their team wearing orange and making a reference to Rangers, they may be making a nod to the Irish Protestant side of Ireland. The Muenchen Rangers finished sixth with a 2-6-2 record in the 1995 Bayernliga (an Oberliga or State League for Bavaria), and qualified for the Endrunde Playoffs in 1996 with a 6-2 record. In 1997 they were relegated to the Landesliga Bayern after finishing with a 2-7 record.

Report

The American Football Verband Deutschland (German American Football Federation) was founded in 1979 and featured six teams in its inaugural season, with Frankfurt Loewen (Wolves) defeating Ansbach Grizzlies 14-6 in German Bowl I. The two teams went on to dominate German American Football for the next three years, Frankfurt again defeating the Grizzlies in German Bowl II before Ansbach got revenge in German Bowl III, winning 27-6. This signalled a slow decline for the Loewen while Ansbach continued with success, winning the German Bowl in 1982 by 12-6 versus Cologne Crocodiles. German Bowl V again saw the Grizzlies compete but this time they lost 22-7 to Duesseldorf Panther, the oldest team in Germany. These two teams played in the next two German Bowls also as Duesseldorf won German Bowl VI 27-13 but lost in German Bowl VII in 1985 14-7 as yet again a team failed to capture the three-in-a-row. After 5 years of two Conferences (Nord and Sued – North and South) a Four Conference System was introduced in 1986 – Nord A, Nord B, Sued A and Sued B with the number of teams jumping from 15 to 24.
