history
After the first beginnings in 1951 with training units in the parish barn in Rimpar as well as the first friendly matches in 1952, the handball department was founded in 1953 with the start of official game operations with a men's, youth and school team. The first department head was Elmar Remling, player-coach of the Herbert Strauss men's team. Since the school gymnasium was built on the new settlement in 1954, indoor handball has also been played alongside large and small field handball. In 1994, the first men's team of the DJK Rimpar under coach Adrian Pasula rose for the first time from the state to the Bavarian league, but after two years in the top Bavarian division again.
The Rimparer Wolves have been operating under their current name since 2007. In the same year, the men rose again to the Bayern League under the former national player and player-coach Heiko Karrer . In the 2008/2009 season they reached the championship unbeaten in the Bavarian League and rose in 2009 to the Regionalliga Süd. Due to the restructuring of the league, the Rimpar handball players failed as 10th of the Regionalliga Süd to qualify for the newly created 3rd league and had to relegate to the Bayernliga again. In the following season, the team rose as champions in the third division and was divided into the East relay for the 2011/12 season.
In 2011 the professional men's handball team of the DJK Rimpar was spun off from the main club under the name "DJK Rimpar Wölfe" with the economic sponsor "DJK Rimpar Wölfe GmbH". Since then, its managing director has been Roland Sauer. In the 2012/13 season, the team won the championship in the 3rd league, relay east and the associated promotion to the single-track 2nd handball Bundesliga. The first season there ended the Rimparer Wolves despite the lowest budget in the league, in 14th place in the final table. For the 2014/15 season, the Rimparer Wölfe were able to achieve their best position so far with 5th place in the table and even hold the top of the table for several match days. Up until the penultimate day of the match, promotion was played. For the 2015/16 season Matthias Obinger was introduced as the new coach and successor to Jens Bürkle, who moved to the first division club TSV Hannover-Burgdorf. The 2015/16 season ended with 14th place in the table in the 2nd Bundesliga. The 2016/2017 season was the most successful in the club's history to date. The team played for promotion until the last matchday. Due to the defeat at VfL Bad Schwartau, while TV Hüttenberg and TUS Friesenheim won, she slipped from second to fourth place.
