THW Kiel is a professional handball club from Kiel, Germany. Currently, they compete in the Handball-Bundesliga and are the record champion with 23 titles.[1]
2007 and 2012 were the most successful years in the club's history, as THW completed the treble, winning the domestic league, the domestic cup, and the EHF Champions League. In 2012, the team won every league game, a first in any top-flight German team sports.
They ended the 2019–20 season as winners of the EHF Champions League and champions of the Handball-Bundesliga.[2][3]
They have a rivalry with fellow Schleswig-Holstein team SG Flensburg-Handewitt.
The club was founded on February 4th 1904 as a Gymnastics association. From the beginning it was only a men's club, but from 1907 women were included too.
The handball department was founded in 1926, first as field handball and later as indoor handball.
In 1959, two years after the first German indoor Championship, the club was a pioneer, when it decided to distinguish between the indoor handball team and the field handball team, and put an emphasis on achieving indoor success.[4]
