The new German champion was TV Großwallstadt , who won the final round of the North and South League with a 13:10 in the final against SVH Kassel . The TVG celebrated the first handball title in the club's history.

This last Bundesliga round was also played in two seasons (north and south) with eight teams each, who determined the respective season winners in the first and second legs. The first and second of the two seasons were qualified for participation in the semi-finals, which was also played in the return leg; the two semi-final winners contested the final of the German championship.

Since the Bundesliga was dissolved at the end of the season and the teams were downgraded to the regional leagues, there were no promoted / relegated teams this year.

Summary of the season

In the north, as in the previous year, Eintracht Hagen, who had only been promoted to the Bundesliga in the 1972 season, won the season. In the south Kassel had narrowly prevailed against Großwallstadt; Because of the tie on points after the last match day of the season, the two teams had to play a deciding game between the two teams in Butzbach on the relay win, which Kassel had won with 12:10 (halftime 7: 8), and Kassel also had in the round games already won the home game against TVG and held a draw in the away game against Großwallstadt.

As in the previous year, the teams of the southern season prevailed in the semifinals, so that the final between Kassel and Großwallstadt was finally played. This decisive fourth encounter between the two teams this season was won by the TVG.

The end of field handball

Following the "cup round season" of the previous year, the DHB board had decided that this 1973 season should be the last of the field handball Bundesliga; With the final in Wetzlar, field handball, "the meanwhile unloved child of the German Handball Federation, [...] was buried". In this way, a development was recently followed in Germany that had ended for a long time internationally.

At the beginning of the 1970s, several top clubs had already taken the necessary steps and withdrew from the Bundesliga, i.e. field handball as a competitive sport, in order to concentrate their efforts on the more popular indoor handball. The signal for this was given in the third Bundesliga season in 1969 by Hamburger SV and VfL Gummersbach ; After this season, the number of participants in the field handball Bundesliga was reduced from 20 to 16. In the following season, 1970 , Frisch Auf Göppingen retired; Most recently, after the end of the previous season in 1972 , TSV Grün-Weiß Dankersen withdrew its full-field team from playing, a club that had just celebrated the triumphant double championship one year earlier ( indoor champions 1971 / field champions 1971 ).

In this last field handball Bundesliga round, there were only three clubs that continued to try the balancing act to be equally successful on the field as in the indoor handball Bundesliga 1972/73 : TuS 05 Wellinghofen was in the north seasons, TV Großwallstadt and the SG Leutershausen represented in the southern seasons of both national leagues. The end of field handball was sealed, however, in the following last two official championship finals tournaments in field handball no indoor handball Bundesliga team took part anymore, indoor handball had finally prevailed over the outdoor variant of the sport.
