The capacity for the home games is 9,000 spectators, but for top games and major events, such as the 2007 Handball World Cup, additional seats can be added so that the hall can accommodate almost 10,000 spectators. In the 2017/18 season, an average of 7,537 spectators attended the home games.

The supporting program

Players, Mascots and Cheerleaders (2009)

The mascot is called Fuchsi. The human-sized fox wears the jersey with the number 8. Fuchsi is supported on special occasions by Reineke Fuchs - the mascot of the foxes Berlin Reinickendorf . After the NPD used an identical fox costume in the 2014 European election campaign, the Berlin handball Bundesliga club gave its mascot a new look.

The cheerleaders of Füchse Berlin are made up of the following teams:

  • Senior dance team "Dance Deluxe" from TSV Rudow 1888
  • Junior dance team "Dance Delight" from TSV Rudow 1888

Women

history

Reinickendorfer foxes

The handball women's team of the Reinickendorfer Füchse played for several years in the national leagues before they merged and took over the license from SV Berliner VG 49. In the 1976/77 season and from 1980 to 1983, the Berlin women played in what was then the two-pronged 1st Bundesliga. In 1985 the team was one of the founding members of the 2nd Bundesliga, but was relegated to the regional league in the first year without winning a point. After the direct resurgence, the Berlin women only managed to win two points in the 1987/88 season, which meant they were immediately relegated again. Another interlude followed from 1989 to 1991, this time in the southern season of the 2nd Bundesliga. In the 1990/91 season, the Vixen remained without a win, as in the premiere season 1985/86, but reached three draws. In 1992 the direct re-emergence succeeded for the third time, this time the Reinickendorf women were able to stay in the second division for three seasons before they had to relegate again in 1995. This time it took seven years to return to the nationwide lower house in 2002, from which the team had to say goodbye two years later. After the fifth promotion to the second division, the club finally entered the syndicate with SV Berliner VG 49 in 2009, which then withdrew his team from the 2nd Bundesliga.

SV Berliner VG 49

The predecessor club BSG Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe was promoted to the GDR league for the first time in 1990, in the last season of which, in 1990/91, he reached seventh place in the table as SV Berliner VB and thus qualified for the 1st Bundesliga from the 1991/92 season. There in the two-pronged transition season 1991/92 grouped into the north relay, the team overtook as tenth of twelve teams the immediate relegation to the 2nd Bundesliga, where the SG BVG was able to establish itself in the extended top field. In 1997 they were promoted to the first division. After a ninth place in the 1997/98 season, the Berlin women had to relegate in 1999 as the penultimate. Another interlude in the elite class followed in 2001/02. In the following seven seasons, the red-black BVGler occupied places between fourth and ninth in the northern season of the 2nd Bundesliga, before the club entered the syndicate with the Reinickendorfer Füchsen in 2009, from which it withdrew in 2012. In 2012 the handball department was reorganized under the name SG BV B 49 , which is now used again .

BVB Foxes Berlin

As a result of the merger, the Spreefüxxe took over the gaming license of SV BVG 49, which had previously played with its women's team in the 2nd Bundesliga. In the 2009/10 debut season , the Spreefüxxe took second place in the 2. Bundesliga North. In the play-offs they failed at SG BBM Bietigheim , so that promotion to the 1st Bundesliga was missed.

In the 2010/11 season , the team was 9th in the 2nd Handball Bundesliga North and was relegated to the 3rd League North , from which they were promoted to the now single-track 2nd Bundesliga after a year.

Foxes Berlin-Reinickendorf

At the beginning of the 2012/13 season, SV BVG left the syndicate. The entire Reinickendorfer Füchse club, which was reorganized at the same time, took over the team and incorporated it into its handball gaming association. In the first year under the name Füchse Berlin-Reinickendorf , the team reached seventh place in the 2nd Bundesliga. Since the 2013/14 season, the team and the club’s men's Bundesliga team have been playing as Füchse Berlin .
