This is a list of Bundesliga top scorers season by season.[1] Since 1966, a trophy sponsored by the German football magazine Kicker, shaped in the form of a miniature artillery piece, has been awarded to the top scorer at the end of each season. It is formally named the "Kicker-Torjägerkanone" (literally "kicker goal hunter cannon"). Robert Lewandowski holds the records for most goals in a single season, with 41 goals scored in the 2020–21 campaign, and most consecutive awards won, with five.[2] Lewandowski and Gerd Müller are the record holders for the most awards won, with seven. The latest recipient of the award is Harry Kane of Bayern Munich.
