history

The Basketball Association of Baden-Württemberg was founded on June 11, 1972 in Pforzheim as a merger of the Baden and Württemberg basketball associations. Burkhard Wildermuth became the first chairman . Roland Geggus , later President of the German Basketball Federation, was a member of the first BBW board after it was founded as a youth warden. Before the unification in 1972, the Baden Basketball Association, which was responsible for the North Baden area, had existed since 1948, the South Baden Basketball Association founded in 1959 (from 1969 it became an all-Baden association) and the Württemberg Basketball Association that was formed in 1951.

Also in 1972 the basketball districts were reorganized: in Baden the districts Mannheim, Heidelberg, Karlsruhe and South Baden were created, and in terms of basketball, Württemberg was divided into the districts Stuttgart, Neckar / Alb and Upper Swabia / Lake Constance. In 1980 there was another regional reform in the BBW, which made four of the previously seven districts: Rhine / Neckar, Black Forest / Upper Rhine, Neckar / Rems, and Alb / Bodensee.

In 1984, Gerhard Ohme replaced Wildermuth, initially on a temporary basis and then as BBW chairman from 1985, Wildermuth was made honorary president of the association in 1985 as an award for his services.

In 1985, two cities in the BBW area, Karlsruhe , where the preliminary round matches were held as in Leverkusen , and Stuttgart (final round) were the venues for the European championship . Kurt Siebenhaar (at the time BBW Vice President) sat as technical director in the EM organizing committee.

Ohme remained in the office of president until 1991, from 1991 to 2009 Dieter Schmidt-Volkmar held the post of association chairman and then became honorary president.

In 2009 Joachim Spägele from Winden im Elztal took up the post of BBW chairman as Schmidt-Volkmar's successor.
