HB Ludwigsburg are crowned champions: 26:22 victory in the final!

The handball players from HB Ludwigsburg won the German championship on May 24, 2025. In the decisive second game of the final series, the team beat HSG Blomberg-Lippe 26:22 (12:9). The Ludwigsburg women won the best-of-three series 2-0 and celebrated the continuation of their impressive series of successes in German handball. The defending champions from Ludwigsburg have dominated the league in recent years, having won the title as SG BBM Bietigheim in the previous three seasons.

Jenny Carlson was the most successful thrower in the decisive game with five hits. The team, which is supported nationally by strong players like Xenia Smits and Antje Döll, pulled away decisively in the second half. In the first game of the final series, the Ludwigsburg women had already won 36:29.

Final series and the path to the championship

The journey to the championship was not easy. In the first final game, which took place on May 21, 2025, Ludwigsburg initially had to accept a delay of one hour due to a complete closure. Despite this challenge, the Ludwigsburg women quickly took control of the game and were soon leading 9-2. Jenny Behrend was the top scorer in the first game with seven goals.

HSG Blomberg-Lippe was unable to compensate for the injury-related absences of Ida Rasmussen and Laetitia Quist. A Blomberger comeback seemed possible when they reduced the deficit to four goals in the second half. But Ludwigsburg showed themselves ready to fight and scored important goals again to extend their lead.

Achievements and outlook

HB Ludwigsburg not only won the championship, but also won the DHB Cup this season, also against Blomberg-Lippe. However, in the Champions League they lost out in the quarter-finals and were eliminated. The successes of the last few years underline the team's dominance in German handball.

The upcoming SWR Aktuell Baden-Württemberg broadcast to celebrate the championship will be broadcast on May 25, 2025 at 6:00 p.m. Fans and supporters of HB Ludwigsburg can look forward to exciting reports about the championship team.

Planning for the next season is now starting for HSG Blomberg-Lippe. There are questions at the club about transfer activities and team composition, especially given the injured players and the challenges that arose in the semi-final against Borussia Dortmund.
