Life

Bartels began playing handball in 1952 with the Witten gymnastics community in 1848 . He also played soccer at first , but decided to play handball despite an offer at Borussia Dortmund , because at that time he had received an invitation for the field handball team in Westphalia. In 1958 he played his first international match for the German national team , with which he took part in the 1963 World Field Handball Championship in Switzerland and the 1964 World Indoor Handball Championship in Czechoslovakia and 1967 in Sweden . In total, Bartels played 60 international matches in which he scored 100 goals. His last game in the DHB team was the 20:19 victory over the Soviet Union on February 11, 1968 in Dortmund's Westfalenhalle , where he scored five times. In the 1968/69 season Bartels was player- coach at the Bundesliga club RSV Mülheim , after which he ended his handball career for professional reasons.
