History

The derby takes its name from the historical region of Rhineland, due to river Rhine. The name Rhine derby is applied to matches between the clubs from the cities which the river Rhine runs through, which also includes Fortuna Düsseldorf and Bayer 04 Leverkusen.^[1] Mönchengladbach is the only city without river Rhine, but the term Rhine derby is mostly used for matches between FC Köln and Borussia Mönchengladbach, the fixture is often referred to as Weisweiler derby, after Hennes Weisweiler, who played for both the clubs.^[1] The first meeting between the teams came in 1950–51 Oberliga West, when FC Köln hosted Borussia VfL München-Gladbach (now Borussia Mönchengladbach), the match ended in 6–2 win for FC Köln.^[6]

In 1972–73 DFB-Pokal, the two teams met in the finals in the Rheinstadion, Düsseldorf. Borussia Mönchengladbach won the match 2–1 in extra-time.^{[1] [6]}

The teams face-off twice in UEFA Cup, first in the Round of 16 of 1972–73 UEFA Cup; Borussia Mönchengladbach won 5–0 on aggregate after winning the second leg 5–0. The second derby in European competition was in the semi-finals of 1974–75 UEFA Cup, which was also won by Borussia Mönchengladbach, who won 4–1 on aggregate and went on to win the finals. Borussia Mönchengladbach ended their season with league and European double.^[1]

On 8 March 2024, Mönchengladbach police arrested 205 fans for violent clashes outside the stadium as Mönchengladbach fans were preparing for the choreography for the upcoming derby. 131 Köln and 74 Mönchengladbach fans were arrested by the police.^[7]
