Who has the most goals in Bayern history? To be as successful as Bayern Munich, you need some reliable goalscorers. The record German champions have had two of the best ever in Robert Lewandowski and Gerd Müller, but who else is in the Bavarian giants’ all-time? 1) Gerd Muller Goals: 523Games: 580Minutes per goal: 100 One of the greatest strikers the world has ever seen, Gerd Müller was synonymous with both Batern and West Germany’s success in the 1960s and 1970s. The future Ballon d’Or winner was approaching his 19th birthday when he joined the club in 1964, and the man who became known as Der Bomber sniffed out goal after goal over the next 15 seasons. Müller found the net 33 times in his first year as Bayern won promotion to the Bundesliga, and the stocky, poacher supreme continued at a similar rate throughout his career. He won the Torjagerkanoneas the German top flight’s leading scorer seven times – sharing the prize twice – between 1967 and 1978. 2) RobertLewandowsKi Goals: 344Games: 375Minutes per goal: 92 Named the best player in the world in 2020 and 2021, Lewandowski is another once-in-a-generation forward. While he is unlikely to reach Müller’s overall mark with Bayern, the Polish superstar has been regularly hunting down his predecessor’s records since arriving in Germany from Lech Poznan in 2010. Lewandowski netted 103 times in 187 games for Borussia Dortmund before joining Bayern in 2014, and since then he has improved with each passing year. The 33-year-old has scored 30 league goals or more in five of his seasons in Germany – getting five in nine minutes against Wolf sburg in 2015 – with his most spectacular campaign to date coming in 2020/21 3) Thomas Muller Goals: 227Games: 625Minutes per goal: 205 A one-club man with well over 100 caps for his country, Müller has been perfecting the knack of ghosting into goalscoring positions since his first-team debut in August 2008. His first two goals for the club – fittingly against rivals Dortmund – came in a 5-1 rout in September 2009. 4) Karl-HeinzRunnenigge Goals: 217Games: 422Minutes per goal: 168 Rummenigge played a huge part in Bayern’s success as vice president and then CEO between 1991 and 2021, but as a player, he was equally important. He joined the club in 1974, meaning he was part of the squad for two of their three successive European Cup triumphs. As stars like Franz Beckenbauer and Gerd Müller grew older, the pacy and direct attacker became more prominent. 5) Rainer Ohlhauser Goals: 167Games: 300Minutes per goal: 163 Overshadowed by more famous teammates like Beckenbauer, Sepp Maier, and Gerd Müller, Ohlhauser was a major player in Bayern’s rise to the top of the Bundesliga and the world game. He played for the club between 1961 and 1970, a period which incorporated their promotion to the top flight in 1965, three DFB Cup wins, a first European trophy, and a maiden Bundesliga title in 1968/69. 6) Roland Wohlfarth Goals: 155Games: 332Minutes per goal: 170 Wohlfarth is not the most familiar name on the list but he is in the record books as one of only six players to have scored over 150 goals for Bayern. He moved to Munich from Duisburg in 1984, and the striker showed impressive staying power – despite fierce competition – to remain with the club until 1993. 7) Dieter Hoeneß Goals: 145Games: 302Minutes per goal: 167 Uli HoeneB is the more famous sibling, and the more successful internationally having won three European Cups with Bayern as well as the European Championship and World Cup with West Germany in the 1970s. 8) Argen Robben Goals: 144Games: 309Minutes per goal: 153 A lot of defenders knew what Robben was planning when he got possession in a certain area, but they could still do nothing about it. The scene played out dozens of times during the former Netherlands international’s stay in Germany between 2009 and 2019 when he’d cut in off the right wing and curl a shot left-footed into the far corner of the net. 9) Giovane Elber Goals: 139Games: 266Minutes per goal: 144 A prolific goalscorer with Stuttgart before he joined Bayern in 1997, Elber won four Bundesliga titles with the club. A lethal finisher with either foot, he was the joint-top goalscorer in the German top flight in 2002/03 – one of two seasons in which he won a league and cup double with the Bavarians. 10) Claudio Pizzaro Goals: 125Games: 327Minutes per goal: 161 The Bundesliga’s record foreign goalscorer until a certain Polish striker came along, Pizarro tormented top-flight German defenses for over 20 years. As well as enjoying five spells with Werder Bremen and a short stint with Cologne late in his career, the Peruvian also spent two fruitful periods with Bayern between 2001 and 2007 and 2012 and 2015.
