Handball-Bundesliga is the top women's professional handball league in Germany.
History The title of women's champion in indoor handball has been competed for since 1957–58. The first champions were Eimsbüteller TV. The modern Bundesliga was founded in 1975. In the first 10 seasons, the table was divided in two subdivisions, north and south (Nord and Süd), who then met in a playoff.
Since 1985 the modern format with one national table has been in effect.
