In its 60 years, the Bundesliga has seen it all: dramatic duels, spectacular saves, pulse-racing games, and, above all, many, many goals. Here are some of the best Bundesliga records from the business end of the pitch. According to a report by Bundesliga.com, let’s dive into the remarkable achievements that have shaped the league’s history.

Most Goals in Bundesliga History

The answer is an easy one and most fans probably know it: Gerd Müller scored 365 goals in the top German league — all for Bayern Munich. That record may never be beaten, but Der Bomber did see another of his impossible-looking hauls bettered by a certain Robert Lewandowski.

Robert Lewandowski scored 41 goals for Bayern across the 2020/21 campaign to surpass Müller’s previous single-season best by one goal. That’s one of many records held by Lewandowski, who is the league’s record non-German scorer and also scored the fastest five-goals in Bundesliga history when he stunned Wolfsburg in a blistering eight minutes and 59-second period back in September 2015.

Unforgettable Own Goals and Team Efforts

While own goals are usually a moment of despair for defenders, they have also left a mark in Bundesliga history. Christoph Kramer holds the record for the longest-distance own goal, scoring from almost 45 meters out. Nils Petersen, on the other hand, proudly boasts his status as the league’s best-ever substitute, with 34 goals from the bench across his career.

As for team efforts, Borussia Mönchengladbach’s 12-0 win over Dortmund in 1978 remains untouched and will take some beating.
