History

edit

The team is known as DIE RECKEN. The origins of the club lie with the sports association Freie Turnerschaft Burgdorf, which was founded in 1922, with a handball department. In 1946 the Turn- und Sportvereinigung Burgdorf was founded. TSV Burgdorf became TSV Hannover-Burgdorf Handball GmbH in 2005. The matches of the top teams have been played since 2005 in one of the two sports arenas in Hannover, the Swiss Life Hall with a capacity of 4,460 spectators, or the ZAG-Arena where 10,767 spectators can cheer on the team. Given the increasing number of supporters, since 2018 more and more games have been played in the second hall.
