The Turn- und Sportverein Birkenau eV 1886 is a German sports club from the southern Hessian town of Birkenau . The club is best known for its handball department , whose first men's team played in the handball Bundesliga in the 1960s and 1970s . The association was founded in 1886 as TV Birkenau. and continued as TSV Birkenau since 1950.
The handball department
Handball was established as a sport at TSV Birkenau as early as 1929. The focus was initially on field handball. Here the TSV qualified from 1961 to 1966 (with the exception of 1963) continuously for the finals of the German field handball championship. In 1966 the club managed to qualify for the newly created national leagues in field and hall, which at that time were divided into two parts (north and south seasons). The club belonged to the field handball league from 1967 to its dissolution in 1973. In the final round of the German field handball championship in 1974, TSV Birkenau was German champion with a 16:14 win over SV Crumstadt. The final took place in front of 4,000 visitors in the Weinheim stadium.
In indoor handball, the club initially belonged to the Bundesliga until 1969 and then played for many years in the Regionalliga Süd, the second-highest German division at the time. In 1979 he was promoted again to the now single-track indoor handball Bundesliga. After the season, the club had to leave the first division again. In 1981 he qualified for the newly created 2nd Bundesliga, which TSV belonged to until 1986.
After many years in the first and second Bundesliga, due to increasingly difficult financial framework conditions, the withdrawal to the regional league and Baden-Württemberg Oberliga took place. Today the club plays in the Baden League.
The male A-youth became South German champions in 1988. The male C-youth won the German championship in 1983.
The TSV women's teams are very successful today; the first team achieved promotion to the Baden-Württemberg Oberliga in 2014 in the 47th year of its existence and a year later to the 3rd division. After relegation from the 3rd league in 2019, the team plays in the Baden-Württemberg Oberliga. The female youth teams report great successes. Here the B and A youth teams have achieved top positions in the final round of the German championship in recent years. The female B-youth came 4th in the 2014 German championship. The female A-youth has been playing in the newly founded A-youth Bundesliga since 2013.
