HSG Konstanz in the crisis: sponsors withdraw!

The HSG Konstanz is facing a difficult season: In the penultimate home game, the team had to accept a bitter defeat against TV Hüttenberg on June 12, 2025 - the game ended with 22:32 (14:17). This defeat was the 27th in the current season, which the team catapulted to the last place in the league with 6:56 points and a goal difference from -186. The HSG is one of the worst second division teams, which makes the sporting situation very tense. This was not the only concern of worrying, because there were also clear defeats against Dessau-Rosslauer HV, HBW Balingen-Weilstetten and HC Elbflorenz. href = "https://www.schschwaebische.de/regional/bodense/auch-dieses-mal-ist-t-t-t-unser-ziel-ziel-ziel-ziel-ziel-ziel-ziel-ziel-ziel-ziel-ziel-ziel-ziel =" _ blank "> schwäbische.de reports that despite the sporting difficulties in the game against Hüttenberg in the Schänzle-Sporthalle present goods.

A pleasant aspect of the past few months is the opening of a new VIP room in the sports hall, which is intended to offer additional marketing options. The board and managing director André Melchert also have to deal with financial difficulties, since several main and platinum sponsors left the club. These developments have triggered the worst concerns, since a significant amount in the six -figure area is now missing in the budget, which affects not only the current season, but also the future of the association. Südkurier illustrates the problem that sponsors have to make savings due to economic difficulties, which the HSG brings into a precarious situation.

what's next?

The sporting ambitions of the HSG are more difficult to achieve in view of the current needs. Nevertheless, the club has advertised for the 3rd league since Christmas and takes the first steps with the commitment of left -handed Lukas Dietrich from the third division club VfL Pfullingen. In addition, the team is strengthened by several talents from the Oberliga, where the team became runner -up last season. Honorary President Otto Eblel emphasized that it is crucial to promote their own players, especially in such difficult times.

In fact, the audience and the sporting supporters of the HSG remain loyal to hope positions, even if the results do not meet expectations. Managing Director André Melchert believes that despite the sporting misery there is interest on the part of the audience. It describes the maintenance of high quality standards in the association as important, even if the sporting goals may have to suffer from the lack of financial resources. ESB-Online Germany are noticeable and emphasizes the importance of young talent and infrastructure as critical points.

urgent need for new sponsors

In order to bridge the financial bottlenecks, a new sponsorship approach was implemented. This includes a raffle for advertising spaces on LED gangs and jerseys at a price of 1000 euros per. Melchert reports on positive feedback on this plan. The HSG has also increasingly dealt with the future of the handball of Constance, whereby the view of a withdrawal from the second division is not excluded, the financial resources should not be secured.

The HSG Konstanz faces a major challenge - a challenge that could endanger its continued existence in the sporting and social context of the city. The support of the fans and sponsors will be important to keep the handball in Constance alive and not to lose sight of the ambitious goals.
