The SG Flensburg-Handewitt is a syndicate made up of Flensburg ( TSB Flensburg ) and Handewitt (Handewitter SV) in Schleswig-Holstein , which has consisted of the handball departments of the Handewitter SV and TSB Flensburg clubs since 1990 . The Bundesliga team was spun off in 1996 to SG Flensburg-Handewitt Handball-Bundesliga GmbH & Co. KG , in whose general partner the SG Flensburg-Handewitt holds a 25.1 percent stake. The team's greatest sporting successes so far have been winning the Champions League (2014), winning the German Championship three times (2004, 2018 and 2019) and winning the DHB Cup four times.

history

Handball has a long tradition in Flensburg and Handewitt. After the Bundesliga was founded , the Flensburg clubs initially failed to establish themselves in the long term. The team at TSB Flensburg rose again in 1980 after just one year. One of the TSB's arch rivals was SG Weiche-Handewitt . However, the game community founded in 1974 of the handball departments of Handewitter SV and ETSV Weiche was considered an elevator team from 1984 onwards .

In the 1980s, handball enthusiasts had been arguing for almost a decade about the establishment of a "Super-SG", in which the "forces" should be "bundled". In 1990 the handball departments of TSB Flensburg and Handewitter SV, but not ETSV Weiche, merged to form the new SG. For the founding meeting of SG Flensburg-Handewitt on July 1, 1990, around 150 representatives from sport, politics and business met in the gnome cellar of the Porterhouse restaurant on Holm in downtown Flensburg .

The team started in the 1990/91 season in the 2nd handball Bundesliga . The first coach was Zvonimir "Noka" Serdarušić , who had led VfL Bad Schwartau into the first division last year . With him, SG achieved promotion to the first Bundesliga in 1992 without losing a point. However, the first season ended disappointingly. At the end of the season, the SG was in 16th place in the table and was relegated to sport. Due to the bankruptcy of TSV Milbertshofen , the SG could still remain in the league. In addition, the goalkeeper Jan Holpert, who had no contract due to the collapse of the Milbertshofen team, returned to Flensburg. During the season, coach Serdarušić had been replaced by Anders Dahl-Nielsen , under whose leadership the SG rose to a top team and - acted as a relegation candidate - finished fourth in the coming season. From then on, the SG occupied one of the top four places in the table up to and including the 2007/08 season. With four runner-up championships in five years, the reputation of the "Eternal Second" was developed in the second half of the nineties.

In 1996, the game operations of the Bundesliga handball team were outsourced to the SG Flensburg-Handewitt Handball-Bundesliga GmbH & Co. KG , which was founded for this purpose and whose first managing directors were Manfred Werner and Dierk Schmäschke , former SG Weiche-Handewitt players. In 1997 SG Flensburg-Handewitt won its first title with the EHF Cup . In the final, the SG lost the first leg at the Danish club Virum-Sorgenfri HK 22:25, but then won the second leg with 30:17. In 1999 the Euro-City-Cup was won and in 2000 the DHB-Supercup was the first national title. In 2003 , 2004 and 2005 the SG won the DHB Cup three times in a row and was also German champion in 2004 . In the same year the team reached the final of the EHF Champions League for the first time , where the SG defeated the eventual winner RK Celje with 30:28 in front of their own audience, but lost the first leg in Celje with 34:28.

In the 2004/05 season , Flensburg offered the best points result in the club's history - which was only enough for second place behind master THW Kiel .

In 2007 , with the THW Kiel and the SG Flensburg-Handewitt, two teams from one federal state faced each other in a Champions League final for the first time. Flensburg had home rights in the first game on April 22nd, where the teams split 28:28. The second leg ended 29:27 for Kiel, who won the cup for the first time.

In the summer of 2008, Flensburg signed Oscar Carlén as a new player and his father Per Carlén as assistant coach for coach Kent-Harry Andersson, who has been in Flensburg since 2003 . After Andersson was dismissed after the home defeat in the derby against THW Kiel in December 2008, Carlén became his successor. The 2008/09 season finished Flensburg in fifth place in the table and thus did not qualify for the Champions League participation in the following season. As a result, the SG ran into financial problems due to the associated financial shortfalls. The new manager Holger Kaiser, who was appointed as the successor to Fynn Holpert for the 2009/10 season, was able to avert bankruptcy by agreeing with the players on a 15 percent wage waiver and suspending the salary increases planned for 2009/10.

On November 11, 2010, Carlén was released from his duties. The new coach was Ljubomir Vranjes , who had played for SG from 2006 to 2009 and had been a sports manager in Flensburg since 2009. Under Vranjes, who was to train the team until 2017, SG Flensburg-Handewitt made it into the DHB Cup final four times from 2011 to 2014, but always had to be satisfied with the runner-up title. In 2012 they won the European Cup Winners' Cup for the second time, and in 2013 the DHB Supercup was won again.

After SG Flensburg-Handewitt went without defeat in 36 consecutive home games for over two years from December 8, 2011, they lost their home game against the Rhein-Neckar Löwen on February 5, 2014 . At the end of the 2013/14 season , Flensburg was in third place in the table and moved into the Champions League final for the third time after 2004 and 2007. Again the team met their rivals from Kiel, but this time the SG won 30:28 and won the Champions League for the first time.

The Bundesliga season 2014/15 ended the SG again in third place in the table. In the Champions League, the team met in the round of 16 against the opponents of the previous year's final, THW Kiel, against whom they were eliminated after two defeats (21:30, 28:33). In the DHB Cup , Flensburg reached the final for the fifth time in a row, which was won 5: 4 in the seven-meter throw against SC Magdeburg after it was 27:27 (24:24, 11:11) after extra time. The club then had to wait three years for the next big success until they became German champions for the second time on June 3, 2018 under the new coach Maik Machulla. The SG defended this title on June 9, 2019.
