Grün-Weiß Schwerin: Handball players shine in the third league!

The handball players of SV Grün-Weiß Schwerin can look forward to a successful year. The club draws a positive conclusion and is currently in fifth place in the third division. Sports director Steffen Franke praises the team's overall development, even though he emphasizes that some of the previous two defeats could have been avoided. There are still catch-up games to come, which opens up the chance of an even better placement. The next game will take place on January 11th against the second team from HSG Blomberg-Lippe, and planning for an exciting second half of the season is already in full swing.

The success of the D-Youth team, which secured the title of East German champions, is particularly pleasing. With a class born in 2012, the youth team has impressively attracted attention, which underlines the development of talent in the club. Not to be forgotten is the B youth team, which made it into the championship round of the Bundesliga undefeated. The championship games for these young talents begin in January and there is great anticipation for more exciting games.

Handball in a larger context

Handball has a long tradition in Germany. It was invented at the end of the 19th century and has since spread into many structures. Over 28 million members are organized in around 90,000 sports clubs, making handball one of the most popular sports in the country. The German Handball Association (DHB) is one of the largest associations in the world with more than 765,000 members. Germany has won the Handball World Championship three times and hosted the European Handball Championship in 2024.

With an average attendance of over 5,000 fans per game in the Bundesliga and record numbers during international tournaments, handball shows a lively audience response. The last European Championships set a world record with over 53,000 spectators.

The dynamic development of handball in Schwerin and the visible successes of SV Grün-Weiß Schwerin are therefore not just local, but part of a larger, thriving handball network in Germany that has a promising future in mind.
