Borussia was established on 7 August 1960 and played in the lower leagues of Bocholt for the remainder of the 20th century until they made their way up in the ranks that in 2002, they first entered the Bezirksliga (VI).

A last-place result in their second season in the sixth tier handed them a return to the Kreisliga until a championship in their district promoted them again in 2007.

By winning another title in their Bezirksliga group, in 2011 Borussia reached the Landesliga Niederrhein (VI) for the first time.

After two seasons in that league, two successive 14th-place finishes gave them a double demotion for another stint in the Kreisliga.

The female footballers attained their greatest success in 2011 by winning the Lower Rhine's highest league and promotion to the Regionalliga West (III) where they play ever since.
