Till Klimpke (born April 1, 1998 in Giessen ) is a German handball player who plays for the Bundesliga club HSG Wetzlar . The goalkeeper is nationally regarded as one of the greatest young talents in his position.

Career

society

Klimpke started playing handball back in 2004. At HSG Dutenhofen-Münchholzhausen, the parent club of HSG Wetzlar, he went through all youth departments and finally stood in 2015 as a B-youth for the first time in a final of the German A-Youth Championship. The then Wetzlar U19 under coach Thomas Weber was defeated in the all-important second leg of the A-youth of the SC DHfK Leipzig .

In the summer of 2016, Klimpke was officially contracted by the HSG for the first time and signed a contract until 2019. In addition to the games in the A-youth, the young talent was also increasingly used in the upper division team of the HSG U23.

When the Wetzlar U19s were at the top with a new squad in the championship fight a year later, it was also Klimpke's great merit, who kept his team's back free with impressive parades in the important games. Thanks to the away goals rule (first leg: 30:27, second leg: 24:27), the Wetzlar U19 prevailed against the A-youth team of Füchse Berlin in the two final finals of the A-Jugend Bundesliga season 2016/17 and secured themselves thus the German championship title on June 3, 2017 in the Dutenhofen sports hall. Klimpke was the only player in the championship team who saw both finals as a U19 player. For the green-whites, it was the fifth big title in the youth field after 1980, 1982, 1984 and 2002.

For the 2017/18 season, Till Klimpke was back in the official Bundesliga line-up of HSG Wetzlar and was able to continue to collect match practice with the U23 in the Oberliga Hessen . On September 3, 2017, Klimpke was used in a Bundesliga game for the first time: At the away game in Hanover, he was substituted on for the seven-meter throw and was able to parry it. With the Oberliga team he won the championship and promotion to the 3rd division in 2018.

From the 2018/19 season, Klimpke played exclusively in the Bundesliga and quickly became one of the team's top performers.

National team

Till Klimpke was part of the DHB national youth team for the 2017 World Youth Championship in Georgia.

The goalkeeper has so far completed 35 international matches for the youth national team. (As of July 2017)

National coach Christian Prokop nominated Till Klimpke for the first time for the senior national team before the two international matches in Israel on June 12 and against Kosovo on June 16, 2019.
