Handball - ein Jahr100Sport
★ 10 · 2017 · Documentary · TV Movie
Handball was invented in Germany on October 29, 1917. Initially as a women's sport and later as the well-known, fast and competitive game that has clearly become the number two ball sport in Germany after soccer. This film delves deep into the archives and traces the eventful past of handball. It spans the arc from the 1936 Olympic victory to the 1978 and 2007 World Championships right up to the present day. The sensational success of the German handball team, who surprisingly became European champions in Poland in 2016, forms the backdrop.
