New upheaval at HBW: Coach Flohr is planning squad changes!
The second handball Bundesliga has once again proven to be exciting and eventful this season. While the season isn't over yet, there are already some important decisions to be made. A catch-up game between TuSEM Essen and Dessau-Roßlauer HV on June 29th will provide additional thrills. Essen objected to the scoring of the narrow 27:28 home defeat, and this request was granted. For Dessau-Roßlau, this could mean that the danger of relegation becomes tangible again, while ASV Hamm could preserve its chances of staying in the league. However, HBW Balingen-Weilstetten ended the season with a solid fourth place in the table, which represents a promising basis for the future for the “Gauls”. Black Forest messenger reported.
With Matthias Flohr at the head of the coaching team, HBW Balingen-Weilstetten is already planning season preparation for the coming season. Changes are imminent in the squad, which sets the course for new perspectives and strategies. The club's history is rich in successes and challenges, as the HBW was created in 2002 through the merger of the established handball clubs TSG Balingen and TV Weilstetten. Since then, the HBW has held its own in various leagues and experienced both ups and downs, such as relegation from the Bundesliga last season, which was followed by an outstanding championship in the second division. Details about the club's previous rankings and developments can be found on the Wikipedia page of the HBW.
The great season of the handball Bundesliga

While SG Flensburg-Handewitt won the European League, SC Magdeburg crowned their success in the Champions League after triumphing against Füchse Berlin in the German final. This increased interest in the HBL is also reflected in the number of spectators, which reached a record of 1.69 million in 306 games Sports picture reported.
Hopes for the further development of the league are high. Uwe Schwenker, President of the HBL, is already talking about a possible increase in the number of starting places for German clubs in international competition from the 2026/27 season. This could bring new life into handball events, and if HBW Balingen-Weilstetten acts strategically clever, it could play an even more important role in this exciting league in the future.
