Predecessor side FV Werder played its first ever match on 10 September 1899 against ASC 1898 Bremen coming away with a 1–0 victory. In 1900 FV Bremen was represented at the founding of the German Football Association (DFB) at Leipzig. The club then enjoyed some early success, fielding competitive sides and winning a number of local championships. FV took part in the qualification play for the national championships in playoffs held by the Norddeutscher Fussball Verband (NFV), one of the seven major regional leagues after the turn of the century, but were unable to advance. They became the first club to charge spectators a fee to attend their games and to fence in their playing field.
In the 2006–07 season, Werder Bremen claimed the "winter champions" title, being the first place team in the Bundesliga before the winter break period, but eventually came in third beind rivals Bayern Munich and Schalke 04. A third place in the Champions League group stage sent Bremen to the UEFA-Cup where they lost in the semi-finals to Espanyol. After the season Werder lost their famous striker to Bayern. As in the previous season Bremen finished third in the Champions League, but this time lost in the Round of 16 to the Rangers. A vice-championship in the Bundesiga qualified Werder for their fifth consecutive Champions League attendance.
Bremen struggled in their Bundesliga campaign of 2008–09, eventually finishing tenth thus completing their worst performance in more than a decade. Nevertheless Bremen made it to the UEFA-Cup final after yet another third place in the Group stage of the Champions League as well as to the national cup final. After Naldo equalized an early goal by Shakhtar Donetsk Bremen lost the UEFA-Cup final 1–2 after extra time. In the final match of the 2008–09 season Bremen defeated Bayer Leverkusen 1–0 to win the DFB-Pokal.
