History

The league was founded in the summer of 2009, as Devil Dolls Essen. [2] [3] It played its first bout the following summer, against Barockcity Rollerderby, and competed in the first German Roller Derby Championship in December 2010, taking third place behind the Stuttgart Valley Rollergirlz and Bear City Roller Derby.

The league changed its name from Devil Dolls Essen to Ruhrpott Roller Girls, then later to Ruhrpott Roller Derby.
