The most successful club in the Bundesliga is Bayer Leverkusen , followed by TV Lützellinden .
history
The title of German champion in indoor handball for women has been awarded since 1957/58. The Bundesliga was introduced as the top division in 1975. In the first ten years, the league was played in two seasons (north and south) and the German champions were determined in the play-off, in which the first two of each season participated. The “single track” Bundesliga has existed since 1985. The only club that has played all 33 seasons in the Bundesliga so far is Bayer 04 Leverkusen , which is the record holder with a total of eight Bundesliga championships. The first two championships in the single-track Bundesliga also went to Leverkusen. The most successful clubs since the introduction of the single-track Bundesliga are TV Lützellinden with seven and TuS Walle Bremen with five championships; of the championship titles awarded between 1988 and 1997, all ten went either to Bremen or to Lützellinden, which triumphed twice in 2001 and 2002. After Bremen's withdrawal from the Bundesliga in 1998, the duels between TV Lützellinden and HC Leipzig shaped events at the top of the league table; between 1998 and 2002 the master was either Lützellinden or Leipzig. Two debutants followed as champions: DJK / MJC Trier and FHC Frankfurt / Oder . In 2004 the end of another top club followed: TV Lützellinden's Bundesliga license was withdrawn. A year later, the Giessen suburbs stopped playing.
social commitment
The women's handball has started the permanent campaign of “Handball helps” for the German Cancer Aid . According to the organization, more than 30,000 euros in donations were collected from leading handball clubs in 2008/09 alone, as well as events from medium-sized and small clubs in the federal states. The 2010 benefit campaign was supported by all women's Bundesliga teams as well as 17 first division and 19 second division teams.
Substructure
In 1985, the 2nd Bundesliga was introduced, which was initially played in two seasons (north and south) and in the years 1991–1994 in three seasons (north, center, south). Since the 2011/12 season, the 2nd Bundesliga has been played in a relay with 16 teams. This is followed by the four-track 3rd division.
Ascent and descent mode
After an unsuccessful first attempt, the league, in which twelve teams played, has been divided into thirds after 22 match days since the 2005/06 season: Places 1 to 4 determined the German champions, the teams in places 5 to 10 played the other placements, whereby the winner, who ultimately placed fifth, was awarded a place in the European Cup. The championship playoffs were played with semi-finals and finals.
Since the 2014/15 season, 14 teams have played each against each other with a home and away game. The first-placed team in the final table is the German champions. The first two places in the 2nd Bundesliga will be promoted to the Bundesliga. The last two in the 1st Bundesliga are relegated directly to the 2nd Bundesliga.

The Eternal Table
Regional champion before the introduction of the Bundesliga
The German indoor handball championship for women has been played since 1957/58. Until the end of the 1960s, the masters were initially determined at the district level. The district champions played for the title of national champion, who then competed with the other regional champions in a tournament for the regional championship. The regional champions finally determined the German champions. Until 1964, the runner-up of the organizing association also took part in the final round. For the 1975/76 season, the double-track 1st Bundesliga was introduced.
