The German field handball championship 1950 was played in an elimination tournament between June 3 and July 2, 1950; the tournament was the first championship round in men's field handball organized by the DHB .

The final took place on July 2, 1950 in front of 22,000 spectators in Kiel's Holstein Stadium . The first German champion after the establishment of the DHB umbrella organization in 1949 was THW Kiel , then still under the name TV Hassee-Winterbek, who won the final against SV Polizei Hamburg , the indoor champions of the same season, with a 10: 9 win. After winning the championship in 1948 , this was the second title of the "Zebras" on the large field.

Eight clubs had qualified for participation in the final round through the championship rounds of the five regional associations:

SV Police Hamburg (North German Champion; German Champion 1950 (Halle) )
THW Kiel (North German runner-up)
RSV Mülheim (West German champions, defending champions)
Sportfreunde Gevelsberg (West German runner-up)
Sports community Haßloch (Southwest German champion)
TC Frisch Auf Göppingen (South German Champion)
SG Dietzenbach (South German runner-up)
SC Rehberge (Berlin champions)

The teams played the championship in a knockout round . The winning teams of the preliminary round determined the two final game participants and the participants in the game for third place via a semi-final; no further placement games were carried out.

The playing time was 2 × 30 minutes; in the event of a tie after regular playing time, the games were decided in extra time (2 × 10 minutes).

Tournament course

In the preliminary round, the favored teams consistently won their games.

In the semifinals in front of 20,000 spectators in Duisburg, the police club from Hamburg, with better fitness in the end, was able to keep the Mülheim defending champions at a close distance. The meeting of the second semi-final between THW Kiel and Frisch Auf Göppingen was even more exciting. 12,000 spectators in the Waldwiese stadium in Kiel "experienced [...] a battle between two top-class teams that was fought with extreme bitterness", in which the leadership changed regularly. Seven minutes before the end of regular time, Göppingen was 10: 8 ahead, but Kiel managed to equalize at 10:10. Göppingen was able to defend itself until half time of extra time (14:13), but then had nothing more to add in the last part of the game, while the Kielers scored five more goals (final score 19:13).

This made the final a purely North German affair. Despite the home right of Kiel in the newly inaugurated stadium, the Hamburg police could easily be considered favored; The police game association had won the last five disputes with the THW, and the "police" had not lost a handball game for a year. But on that day the THW was unbeatable: "Hassee delivered a great game" and deservedly won, as the reporter for the Hamburger Abendblatt summed up. Last year's champions RSV Mülheim won the game for third place surprisingly clearly against the favored Göppingeners.
