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[edit]

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[edit]

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]
