Bayern Munich, founded in 1900 by a group of young men, has evolved into Germany's most successful football club, claiming 33 Bundesliga titles and numerous other prestigious trophies. Kurt Landauer, a Jewish president from 1919, significantly contributed to the club's early successes through strong youth programs and international matches. However, his tenure ended abruptly due to the Nazis' rise to power, which targeted the club due to its Jewish connections. Despite Landauer's contributions being forgotten post-war, efforts in 2009 led to a renewed recognition of his legacy and significance to Bayern's history.
After the Second World War, Bayern Munich seemed to forget its Jewish heritage, specifically the contributions of Kurt Landauer, who played a crucial role in the club's early success.
Kurt Landauer was a forward-thinking president who focused on good youth work and bringing in foreign players, particularly from Jewish communities in Eastern Europe, to strengthen the club.
