Regensburg Legionäre e.V., commonly referred to as Regensburg Legionäre, is a baseball and softball club from Regensburg, Bavaria. The team is currently known as Guggenberger Legionäre, being sponsored by a construction company from Mintraching. Between 2008 and 2020 the team was called Buchbinder Legionäre after a car rental company.

Founded in 1987, the first men's team plays in the first division of the Baseball-Bundesliga since 1995 and has won the German championship five times in 2008, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013. The Legionäre play in the Armin-Wolf-Arena.

Club structure

The full club consists of 11 teams:

  • 1st Men's Baseball, plays in Bundesliga's 1st Division
  • 2nd Men's Baseball
  • Bavarian League Softball
  • Bavarian League Baseball
  • District League Baseball
  • Bayern Youth League
  • Youth National League
  • Student Livepitching
  • Student Tossball
  • T-Ball
  • Softball, U15

As part of a fund raising effort, Legionäre began selling stock in the club at the price of €100 a share, equating to €1 of the team value. The shares are not marketed as high-return investments but contributions that give the supporter a presence in the organization.[1]

History

In the 2010 season, Legionäre led the Southern Division in most offensive and defensive categories, posting a combined .367 batting average and hitting 21 home runs as a team, while the club's pitching staff posted a 2.21 ERA.[2]
