history

The sport of handball began in the Leverkusen 04 sports association in the mid-twenties, and the women's and youth teams played their first games in the summer of 1930. The Rhinelander have won one international title, twelve championships and nine cup wins so far. They each managed to defend at least one title. The first national player from Leverkusen was Wally Fischer , who together with the later national player Gisela Hoey brought a total of four titles to the Rhine. Bayer Leverkusen got married between 1979 and 1987. The team won eight championships and six cup wins in nine seasons. Undoubtedly the highlight was reaching the final in the European Cup, today's Champions League , which was clearly lost 16:22 and at home 19:20 against Radnički Belgrade , who had already contested the fifth final in a row.

The former runner Renate Wolf has been with the club since 1975 , who is now the manager of the handball department and was also the trainer from 1996 to 2012 . She took over the coaching position from Norbert Gwiozda and led the club to two cup wins and the Challenge Cup, which is the fourth highest trophy in European handball.

Organizationally, the department is managed by a department head. The chairmanship has been held since 2005 (with a one-year break) Dietmar Bochert, who in this role also belongs to the entire board of the main association. Deputies are handball legend and lawyer Andreas Thiel and the former Ford manager Hans Frenger. Bernhard Claus is the treasurer. Further members of the board are youth manager Conny Krüger, female manager Wally Fischer, elder Gesine Küster and male manager Carsten Gerdes.

Bayer 04 Leverkusen is the only club that has been a member of the women's handball league since it was founded in 1975. However, this series was threatened by the withdrawal of the main sponsor of the main club, Bayer AG . As a result, the budget got into trouble. Several prominent personalities are campaigning for the team to remain in the 1st Bundesliga. Including goalkeeping coach Andreas Thiel. On February 27, 2010, it was announced that Bayer AG will provide a one-off payment to save the Bundesliga handball.
