story

In 1948 and 1950 the THW Kiel won the German championship in field handball and even before the founding of the handball Bundesliga in 1966, the THW won three German championship titles in indoor handball (1957, 1962 and 1963) and was 18 times in 20 seasons Champion of the top division at the time, the Schleswig-Holstein State League. When the Bundesliga was founded, the THW Kiel was not taken into account as Schleswig-Holstein champion, since the results of the regional championships in 1966 were used, in which the THW at (regional league runner-up) VfL Bad Schwartau had failed. A year later, however, he was promoted to the Bundesliga North. With the exception of the 1973/74 season, THW has always played in the Bundesliga since 1967.

Since 1992, the Bundesliga team has been the THW Kiel Handball-Bundesliga GmbH & Co. KG from the parent club Turnverein Hassee-Winterbek e. V. decoupled from 1904. The home games of the "zebras", as the handball players are called because of their traditional black-and-white striped jerseys, take place in the Wunderino Arena (originally Ostseehalle), which has a capacity of 10,250 spectators. The THW is the only club that has been involved since the single-track Bundesliga was founded. By winning the thirteenth German championship in the 2006/07 season, THW Kiel replaced VfL Gummersbach as the German record champions. Since then, the club has led the all-time table of the handball Bundesliga.

With a total of 43 national titles, THW is the most successful German indoor handball club at national level , ahead of VfL Gummersbach and HC Empor Rostock with 17 national titles each.

1923 to 1945 - first years of the handball division

After young people unsuccessfully applied for the establishment of a football division at the THW at a general meeting in 1923, they looked for alternatives and began playing handball a little later. Since the club did not have its own sports field, it could only play away games at first. The handball division experienced a large increase in membership within a short period of time: in 1926 eight teams took part in the game and in 1931 the Kiel team had the largest division in all of northern Germany with 19 teams. During the same period, the men's, women's and youth teams developed into the more successful in the region. The men reached a national championship within the German Gymnastics Association for the first time in 1932 , but were eliminated in the preliminary round.

Although the association's board of directors still emphasized the “party-political neutrality” of the association and its officials in 1932, after the National Socialists came to power, their political line was adopted within a very short time. In terms of sporting development, the THW initially had to accept two setbacks: On the one hand, many young people left the club, so that the youth department had to be almost completely rebuilt; on the other hand, the gentlemen were not accepted into the new Gauliga. The latter were able to advance to the top division in 1934. Two years later the THW occupied a relegation place there, but after the withdrawal of another Gauligist they were allowed to play a relegation game against Comet Hamburg, which the Kielers won with 12: 8.

Due to a restructuring of the club, which was driven in particular by Fritz Westheider , the athletic rise of the THW began in the following season. In 1937, 1938 and 1939, the Kiel team were each Gauliga runner-up behind Oberalster VfW from Hamburg, and Westheider was their first national team player. During the war years, Gaume championships continued to be played, although the clubs had to play their games with constantly changing lineups. In 1940 and 1943 they were again Nordmark runner-up before the championship and the associated participation in the German championship was achieved for the first time in 1944. There the Schleswig-Holsteiners were eliminated in the round of 16 (the first round) against a Bremen team.

1945 to 1957 - title wins in field handball, first successes in indoor handball

Just a few months after the end of the war, the THW teams were playing friendly games again. Within the first two post-war years, the handball division again experienced a large influx of members, so that in 1947 the THW provided most of the handball teams in the occupation zones of the Western powers. In the same year the Kielers won the Schleswig-Holstein state championship in field handball with a 9: 4 victory over the Flensburger TB and prevailed a little later at the northern championship. In the games for the zone championship in 1947 , in which several teams outside the British occupation zone took part, they were eliminated against the eventual champions RSV Mülheim . A year later, the THW again won the regional championships and was then able to clearly prevail in the quarter-finals (against SG Wilmersdorf ) and semi-finals (against SG Dietzenbach ) of the 1948 interzone championship . On June 21, 1948, the THW met SV Waldhof Mannheim in Oberhausen and won after a 3-2 half-time deficit with 10: 8 against the southern Germans; the first German championship of the THW.

In 1949 the zebras prevailed in the Schleswig-Holstein League without losing points, but had to admit defeat 10: 3 in the final of the northern championship of the SV Police Hamburg and failed again in the semifinals of the following championship finals in 1949 by the Hamburgers. In the following season, the THW suffered significant defeats against the SV Police and ended the season in the newly introduced Oberliga Nord in second place. The team trained by Fritz Westheider qualified for the 1950 finals , which has since been organized by the DHB . With victories against SG Haßloch and Frisch Auf Göppingen , she reached the final for the second time since 1948 and met her northern rival SV Police Hamburg there again. In front of 22,000 enthusiastic spectators in the newly opened Holstein Stadium , the team around players like Hein Dahlinger and Herbert Podolske prevailed 10: 9 and thus won the second championship. In the following year, after a similar situation (the SV Hamburg Police again dominated the Oberliga Nord in front of the THW), the final game of the 1951 German Championship was re-run , which Hamburg won 12: 4 this time.

After they failed to qualify for the final phase of the German championship in 1952, the Kiel team reached the final as the north runner-up in 1953 , in which they met the police sports club from Hamburg for the third time after 1950 and 1951. The third championship title was missed by a 15:19 defeat. Although the Fördestädter won the northern championship between 1954 and 1957 before their rivals and were consequently a favorite for the title, they could no longer qualify for the final.

THW Kiel versus Viktoria Hamburg, final round of the German field handball championship, May 12, 1957

As everywhere in German handball, field handball was initially the more important variant of the sport compared to indoor handball in Kiel in the post-war period; But also in the hall the THW did not remain without success: If the THW was able to qualify for the final tournaments in the hall alongside the then overpowering north German rival of the police sports club from Hamburg, then the club also played "above". At the championship in 1952 , Kiel reached fourth place, the following year at the final tournament in 1953, second place, as well as in 1956 . The first masterpiece in indoor handball was achieved in the 1957 finals , when the THW defeated TC Frisch Auf Göppingen 7: 5 in the final - the cornerstone of the THW's later success story was laid.

1957 to 1990 - end of field handball, indoor handball Bundesliga

Promotion to the Bundesliga, March 17, 1967

Two years after the first indoor championship in 1957, the club made a forward-looking decision that anticipated the further history of handball in Germany as a whole: As one of the first high-class clubs, TV Hassee-Winterbek made a clear distinction between field handball and indoor handball, and in 1959 it formed two separate ones Teams and put the focus on achieving indoor success. In field handball, the THW came to three other finals ( seasons 1958 , 1960 and 1964 ), but were eliminated in each of the round of 16; the era of field handball ended earlier in Kiel than in other handball strongholds.

This reorientation was initially very successful with regard to indoor handball: THW reached the runner-up in the following season, 1960 , followed by the second and third German indoor championships in 1962 and 1963 . At the finals in 1964 in front of their own audience in the Ostseehalle , of all things , the setback came, in the final - as they did against the same opponent in the 1956 final in a game with very few goals - the Berliner SV 1892 4: 3 and again only became runner-up. The team from Kiel could not qualify for the handball Bundesliga , which was newly introduced for the 1966/67 season , but managed to get promoted in the second season. From then on, the THW achieved good placements in the northern season of the Bundesliga (with a one-year break in the 1973/74 season ), but did not reach the finals until the Bundesliga reform in 1977.

After a difficult start in the new single-track Bundesliga - 1977 to 1979 only one point ahead of the relegation rank secured relegation - the club established itself in the top third of the league table since the 1980s. The best placings were the three runner-up championships in the seasons 1982/83 , 1984/85 and 1988/89 , the great success in the form of a championship title was still missing.

1990 to 1993 - establishment of a championship team

In 1990 manager Heinz Jacobsen made what was probably the most important transfer in the club's history. The 26-year-old Swedish world champion and later world handball player of the same year Magnus Wislander was signed by Redbergslids IK . With him, the THW moved into the play-off round of the 1990/91 season , but lost to VfL Gummersbach in the final . In the following season 1991/92 the wings were occupied by Martin Schmidt and Christian Scheffler , both of which were to remain until 2003. Again the team made it to the semi-finals of the play-offs, but failed at the eventual champions SG Wallau / Massenheim . For the 1992/93 season, left winger Uwe Schwenker moved to the managerial post and Thomas Knorr was signed for the backcourt. At the end of the season they only finished seventh in the Bundesliga. The last pieces of the puzzle were acquired for the 1993/94 season. Circle runner Klaus-Dieter Petersen came from Gummersbach and Zvonimir Serdarušić occupied the coaching bench.

The highlight was the 2007 season, in which the Kielers celebrated the historic triple with victory in the Champions League, the DHB Cup and the German championship. On June 26, 2008, THW and Serdarušić separated by mutual agreement.

In February 2009, massive allegations were made against the THW and Serdarušić; the trainer and the THW manager Uwe Schwenker are said to have bribed the referees in at least 10 games, including the 2007 Champions League final. The THW denied the allegations, which were raised in particular by the management of the Rhein-Neckar Löwen . On January 26, 2012, Serdarušić and Schwenker were acquitted on all counts by the Kiel Regional Court.

Club records

The team's mascot has been the zebra Hein Daddel since August 26, 1999 . The name comes from the great handball idol Heinrich Dahlinger from Kiel and was decided by the fans in a vote. The figure made of PU foam, in which changing actors are disguised, was developed in the film puppet workshop of Peter Röders .

U 23

The second team of the THW, the U 23 , became champions of the handball Oberliga Hamburg - Schleswig-Holstein in the season 2012/13 and thus rose to the 3rd division , where they played in the north season from the 2013/14 season and relegated again after the 2014/15 season.

Women

Since 2006, the first women's team has been promoted to a division in the handball league Hamburg - Schleswig-Holstein almost every year . There she occupied a relegation place in 2011/12, but reached direct resurgence in the following season as champion of the Schleswig-Holstein League.
