Handball Sport Verein Hamburg

Handball Sport Verein Hamburg is a merger of the former handball clubs VfL Bad Schwartau and HSV Lübeck, which joined forces in 1999 under the name Handball Sport Verein Lübeck. In 2002, they were moved to Hamburg for growth and renamed. Later VfL Lübeck-Schwartau was formed from 2nd team of VfL Bad Schwartau, and they now play in the 2nd Bundesliga. Although locally known as HSV Hamburg, the club is not part of the Hamburger Sportverein and does not have the right to use their logo and abbreviation for promotional purposes. The club notably won a EHF Champions League in 2013 and a Handball-Bundesliga in 2011. On September 12th, 2014 the team broke the world record for most spectators at a handball match with in a match against Rhein-Neckar Löwen with 44,189 spectators. On 20 January 2016, their license was revoked due to irregularities and, as a result, Handball Hamburg was not authorized to participate in either the first or second handball Bundesliga in the 2016/17 season. As a result, the club was relaunched with a new coat of arms, colors and a new image, from HSV Hamburg to Handball Sport Verein Hamburg; although the official name remained unchanged. The club returned to the Handball-Bundesliga in the 2021–22 season. On 3 May 2024, it was announced that HSV Hamburg did not get the license for the next season, which would see them relegated. This was appealed by Hamburg. Hamburg was given the licence due to an error in the procedure on 31 May with a specific condition and an economic deposit. ==Crest, colours, supporters==
