The Southwest German Handball Association (SWHV) was a regional association in the German Handball Federation ( DHB) until its dissolution and consisted of the six regional associations
- Hessian Handball Association (HHV)
- Palatinate Handball Association (PfHV)
- Handball Association Rheinhessen (HVR)
- Handball Association Rhineland (HVR)
- Handball Association Saar (HVS)
- Thuringian Handball Association (THV)
The regional association was founded in 1952. On October 29, 2011, an extraordinary association day in Erfurt decided to dissolve it. This was due to the fact that the establishment of the 3rd leagues, which are managed by the DHB, and the male A youth leagues and the strengthening of the upper leagues, which are managed by the regional associations, no longer have their own game operations. The last president was the Merzig lawyer Wolfgang Kirsch, who was only elected on the last regular association day on July 3, 2010 in Koblenz. This will remain in the Extended Presidium of the DHB until December 31, 2012. At the last day of the association, honorary president Wolfgang Faß (Heusenstamm) and honorary member Jürgen Blaschke (Mainz) became.
