DSC Arminia Bielefeld established a department for women's and girls' football in 1975. Five years later, the team was promoted to the Bezirksliga, where they competed for a year before being relegated, then quickly promoted again.[1] In 1990, they ascended to the third-tier Verbandsliga Westfalen,[1] only to face relegation once more, but they made a return in 2003. Markus Wuckel became their head coach in 2004, a position he held until 2021.[2]
In the 2015–16 Regionalliga West season, Bielefeld finished at the top of the league, achieving promotion to the 2. Bundesliga. They remained undefeated throughout the season, scoring 124 goals, with Maxine Birker contributing 34 goals and Kamila Kmiecik with 32.[4]
Following their promotion to the 2. Bundesliga, the team relocated from the artificial-turf Sportplatz Stadtheide to the Waldstadion Quelle. After being relegated in their second season, they were promoted back in 2019 and moved to the EDImedienArena, staying for two more seasons before returning to the Regionalliga. During the 2020–21 season, head coach Markus Wuckel was replaced by Tom Rerucha.[2] In May 2023, former player Annabel Jäger became the club's manager ahead of the 2023–24 season.[5]
