HSG Bensheim and BVB shine: handball women celebrate clear victories!
In the women's handball Bundesliga, fans saw two clear victories on Wednesday that dominated the action on the field. HSG Bensheim/Auerbach prevailed in the catch-up game against TuS Metzingen with 37:30 and thus improved in the table. The exciting competition took place in the Paul Horn Arena in Tübingen in front of 1,272 spectators, who created a lively atmosphere. The best scorers for Bensheim were Nina Engel with 9 goals, 2 of which came from the penalty throw, and Lucie-Marie Kretzschmar, who scored 7 goals. On the Metzingen side, Charlotte Cholevova was the outstanding shooter with 8 goals.
Borussia Dortmund also showed a strong performance and won against Thüringer HC with 36:31. Goalkeeper Sarah Wachter played a crucial role with 12 saves. Alina Grijseels (10 goals, 3 of them from the 7-meter line), Dana Bleckmann (8 goals) and Guro Nestaker (6 goals) were the best throwers for Dortmund. However, the Thuringian HC competed without its top goalscorer Johanna Reichert; Csenge Kuczora contributed 10 goals to the game. Dortmund are now in third place and show that they can certainly compete with leaders HSG Blomberg-Lippe, who will face Frisch Auf Göppingen on Saturday.
The upcoming encounters
The next round also promises exciting matches. An eastern derby awaits BSV Sachsen Zwickau on Thursday, who will play against SV Union Halle-Neustadt – both teams without any plus points to their credit.

Fans can look forward to a broadcast of the game between Oldenburg and Neckarsulm from 2:30 p.m. on free TV on DF1, and other HBF matches can also be seen on Dyn and Sporteurope.
Handball in a broader context
Handball enjoys a broad following that extends far beyond rural regions. Studies have shown that these are primarily urban fans. According to a survey by Statista, 69 percent of handball fans are men, with the age group over 50 forming a significant target group. Over 16 percent of those surveyed live in rural areas, while the majority come from medium-sized, large or megacities. Another highlight from the handball world is the upcoming 2025 Handball World Cup, which begins on January 14th in Croatia, Denmark and Norway, with Germany taking on Poland on January 15th.
The demand for handball is unbroken. The league's games draw large numbers of spectators into the halls and the enthusiasm for the sport is also evident in the fully occupied arenas of top clubs such as Füchse Berlin and Hamburger Sportverein. It will be exciting to see how the championship develops and which teams will prevail in the end.
