Early life

Born in Pinneberg, Germany, Brüggemann began playing football at the age of six. Her father, Detlev, worked as the senior administrative officer of the amt of Pinnau and as the deputy chairman of the district sports association.[1] As a child, she competed in multiple sports: Brüggemann was the only girl on her junior football teams, won the North German championship in table tennis, and competed at the North German championships in athletics. When she was 15 years old, Brüggemann committed herself to football, saying that it "has always been my greatest passion - it's simply more fun to compete in a team."[2]

Brüggemann attended the Johannes-Brahms-Schule until 2012.[2] She attended Arizona State University for one year, and upon her return to Germany, Brüggemann studied sports and biology at the University of Duisburg-Essen.[3][4]

After playing in the youth ranks for FC Union Tornesch and TSV Uetersen, Brüggemann joined the juniors at Hamburger SV in the summer of 2009.[2] She made her Frauen-Bundesliga debut on 27 September 2009 against SGS Essen, entering as a substitute in the 29th minute, and scored the game-winning goal in the 84th minute to hand Hamburg a 3–2 victory. Over three seasons, Brüggemann scored two goals in 37 Bundesliga appearances, before Hamburg withdrew from the league following the 2011–12 season. Brüggemann moved to the United States and spent one year playing college soccer for the Arizona State Sun Devils.[5] She then returned to Germany and, ahead of the 2013–14 season, signed a two-year contract with newly promoted BV Cloppenburg.[6] After scoring two goals in 30 Bundesliga appearances, Brüggemann moved to SGS Essen in the summer of 2015.[7][8] After five seasons, she joined Bayer 04 Leverkusen in 2020, then returned to Hamburger SV in 2022, now in the Frauen-Regionalliga.[9]
