German handball champions
These lists record the German champions in indoor handball and men's field handball and provide information about the mode and development of the championships in both sports.
Indoor handball
Federal Republic of Germany
Host
In 1948 and 1949, a German indoor handball champion was played by the German Working Committee for Handball (DAH). These two titles are now considered unofficial titles. From 1950, the German Handball Federation (DHB), founded on October 1, 1949, took over hosting the championship. In 1994, the specially founded league association of the Bundesliga (first HBVM, now HBL ) took over the event.
From July 2007, the Bundesliga had a name sponsor for the first time with the Japanese car manufacturer Toyota , which it officially led in the title; the sponsor was also integrated into the official HBL logo. After the contract with Toyota expired, from July 2012 this was the DKB .
mode
Before 1966, the championship was held in the finals of the various regional league champions and runners-up. In 1966, the handball Bundesliga was introduced as the top division, initially in two seasons (north and south), the champions of which played the German champions in two finals by 1974, and from 1975 to 1977 the champions were in one final round (semifinals and final) of each first two of the two seasons determined. The Bundesliga has existed as a single-track league since 1977 (with the exception of the 1991/92 season, which was played in two tracks due to the incorporation of the former GDR Oberliga into the Bundesliga), and the first place at the end of the season is automatically German champions. An exception are the years 1990 to 1992, in which the champions were played in a play-off round of the best eight teams in the Bundesliga (in 1992 the best four from north and south).
Record champions
The German record champions are THW Kiel , which has won the title 21 times so far (most recently in 2020). The THW won 18 of its 21 championship titles in the Bundesliga, making them the Bundesliga record champions. Frisch Auf Göppingen won most of the titles before the introduction of the Bundesliga with seven championships.

Field handball
General information about the field handball championship
Until 1933 there was no umbrella organization for handball in Germany. Therefore, several sports associations played their field handball champions independently of each other - with different titles (such as German champion , Reich winner or federal champion ): In the period from 1922 to 1933, the German Sports Authority for Athletics, the predecessor of the German Athletics Association and the German Gymnastics Federation organized separate competitions. In the early 1930s, the winners of these two associations competed against each other in a final. In addition, the Workers' Gymnastics and Sports Association (ATUS or ATSB) and the Catholic German Youth Force (DJK) played championships. However, Austrian clubs also took part in the ATSB competition, so that one can hardly speak of German champions here . The DJK carried out its championship at several year intervals at its national sports festivals . During the Nazi regime , a uniform German championship was only established by the Reichsbund für Leibesübungen from 1934 (July 1934 German , from late 1938 the National Socialist Reichsbund für physical exercises ). From 1947 to 1975 the German Handball Federation and its predecessor, the German Working Committee for Handball (DAH) determined the national title holder. In 1959, the GDR national team won an internal German comparison against the national team of the Federal Republic and was then elected GDR team of the year . No German field handball championship has been played since 1975.
Field handball today
Field handball is no longer competitive today. In summer tournaments take place regularly, but mostly on a field in the indoor format of 20 × 40 m (small field) or in beach handball . The original large-field handball is only played very sporadically in the context of small tournaments of lower-class clubs as a summer event. Benefit games between indoor handball teams or against senior teams also sometimes take place on the large field.
