history

The roots of the handball department lie in the athletics department of the club when the then head of the athletics department of FC Schalke 04 decided to introduce handball as a compensation for his athletes. On November 7, 1926, the official game operation finally began, with a game against the SuS Schalke 96 .

In 1929, FC Schalke 04 became Gaumeister and then played in the highest German league until the beginning of the Second World War .

After the game business collapsed during the war, handball was resumed in the club in 1946. The journalist Paul Schnitzspan became the first department head after the new start .
