Career

Pascal Hens grew up in Wiesbaden in the Hessian district of Mainz-Kastel . He attended the Wilhelm Leuschner School and began playing handball for the Wiesbaden club TG Kastel at the age of six. He got his finishing touches in the two years at SV Kostheim 1912, in which he was invited to the Wiesbaden district and district selection.

For SG Wallau / Massenheim he completed his first handball Bundesliga game on the 21st matchday in the 1999/2000 season against the relegated TuS Schutterwald . He threw five goals in this game and Wallau / Massenheim won 29:18. However, since he was not yet eligible to play - the club had made a mistake with his player pass - the game was counted as a victory for Schutterwald.

In 2000, Hens got his first Bundesliga contract and played at Wallau / Massenheim under coach Martin Schwalb until 2002 . In his first full Bundesliga season (2000/2001) he made his breakthrough: Pascal Hens got a large share of the game and was appointed to the national team in March 2001. In 2007 he became world champion at the 20th handball world championship . In this victory in his own country, he also scored the most goals for the DHB team. For the world championship he was awarded the silver bay leaf . After the European Championship in 2012 he resigned from the national team after a total of 199 international matches .

HSV coach Bob Hanning brought Hens to HSV Hamburg in spring 2003, although Hens had offers from THW Kiel , TBV Lemgo and SC Magdeburg . Since 2003 he has played for HSV Hamburg on the left backcourt position . In February 2008 he was named “Hamburg's Sportsman of the Year” in Hamburg. In October 2015, Hens was honored for his 500th competitive game for HSV Hamburg.

After the bankruptcy and the withdrawal from the game operations of HSV Hamburg, Hens moved to the Danish first division club HC Midtjylland in February 2016 . In the 2016/17 season he played for HBW Balingen-Weilstetten . Then he ended his career. His trademark was a mohawk .

Other activities and personal life

As an ambassador, he supports the Respekt! No place for racism . In addition, he does not work in the Forget Aids campaign , for which he can be seen in TV spots, among other things.

Hens appears in various television formats. In 2018 he took part in the third season of the competition show Eternal Heroes , in which he and the former German soccer player Célia Šašić took fourth place out of eight participants. In 2019 he took part in the 12th season of Let's Dance . He and his dance partner Ekaterina Leonova became the winner of the season.
