National coach (German Handball Federation)

Field handball coach
In the years when field and indoor international games were played at the same time ( 1938 to 1970 ), the national coach was responsible for both teams equally, with all coaches up to and including Werner Vick placing their main focus on the field handball team, as indoor handball was only around in Germany Was able to prevail over the large field game in the mid-1960s.
After June 14, 1970 (22:12 against the Netherlands), the DHB no longer played any international matches on the large field.
Remarkable things about the field handball balance
The total of five defeats are divided between two games against Austria (including 3: 6 in the very first game) and one each against Switzerland, Hungary and the GDR. The three draws were made against Austria, Hungary and the GDR. The selection of the GDR is the only opponent against which a DHB team could never win in an official game.
In 1957 and 1959, in preparation for the 1959 World Cup, in which both associations were to compete with one team, four elimination games took place between the DHB and the GDR teams, of which the West German selection was the GDR team on July 14, 1957 defeated in Leipzig 19:14. Of the other three matches, the GDR team won both away games (16:13 in Hanover on April 28, 1957 and 10:18 in Augsburg on April 5, 1959). The last of these encounters in Dresden ended on April 12, 1959 with a 19:19 draw. In 1957, on the sidelines of the qualifying games, the B-selections also met twice. The home team remained victorious in these encounters (DHB 18:16 on April 22, 1957 in Kassel, GDR 24:12 on July 13, 1957 in Magdeburg). These six matches were not counted as official games by the associations involved and the IHF, regardless of the high media and audience interest (45,000 spectators attended the game in the Dresden stadium).
The first defeat in an official match on the large field was for the DHB only on June 9, 1963 in the World Cup final against the GDR team (7:14). Until then, the West German team had remained undefeated after the war. The defeat (7:11) against Switzerland in the immediately following international match on June 30th was the last defeat for the DHB on the big field.
Otto Kaundinya and Fritz Fromm won all their international field handball matches as national and national coaches.
Notes on the statistics (field handball)
