On September 26, 2006 Frank von Behren tore a cruciate ligament in the DHB Cup game between SG Flensburg-Handewitt and local rivals DHK Flensborg , which meant that he had to take a six-month break. That's why he was missing from the German team at the 2007 World Cup . After his recovery, von Behren was never really able to assert himself at Flensburg. Thereupon he let his contract with the Fördestädtern dissolve in January 2008 and joined his old association GWD Minden. For the European Championship 2008 von Behren was initially not in the squad. But after Oliver Roggisch tore a muscle fiber in the last main round match, von Behren was nominated for the semifinals on January 26, 2008. After a broken thumb and a shoulder injury, Frank von Behren officially ended his active career on August 1, 2008.
