Refereeing

After lengthy quarrels due to a lack of support for the referees from the Presidium as well as constant nodding and punishment of the referees, the referee association committee , headed by the former Bundesliga referee Bernd Andler, took the consequences and resigned on June 12, 2013. This was the first total resignation of a committee since the HVW was founded. At an extraordinary HVW meeting on June 17, 2013, a provisional regulation was found for the appointment of new referees until the HVW Association Day on May 17, 2014. So far, however, this has not changed the lack of appreciation of the referees within the association.

Member clubs

The association has around 400 member clubs. In the 2018/19 season, Frisch Auf Göppingen , TVB 1898 Stuttgart and SG BBM Bietigheim play in the men's handball league.
