Werder Bremen is a
German football club playing in
Bremen, in the northwest German federal state of the
same name. The club was founded in
1899 as FV Werder by a group of sixteen vocational high school students who had won a prize of sports equipment to set them on their way. They took their name from the seldom used regional German word for "river island", describing the riverside field they first played football on.
