A historic handball club at the top of Germany
THW Kiel is not just Germany's most successful handball club with countless titles; for nearly a century, the club has fought its way from humble beginnings to become one of the most iconic sports teams in the country. Known affectionately as the "Zebras" for their distinctive black and white striped jerseys, they embody a spirit of resilience and pride.
At Lindbergh, we are proud to be part of this journey, as the club’s players now wear our matchday attire on their path to new triumphs.
From modest beginnings to handball’s highest level
Founded in 1904, Hassee-Winterbek Kiel gymnastics club laid the groundwork for what would become THW Kiel. The handball journey began in 1923, when young enthusiasts first played handball on a grass field. With only one ball and no proper goals or playing field, the club’s early days were challenging. However, despite these modest beginnings, THW Kiel quickly established a strong handball tradition and became a force within the sport.
Many parallels exist between our own journey and that of THW Kiel. That’s why we are deeply honoured to dress the players for their matchdays, with classic and contemporary styles from our menswear collection.

A club dedicated to continuous success
Even with 42 national titles, THW Kiel's hunger for success remains as strong as ever. The club continues to set new goals, solidifying its place as Germany's top handball team while looking ahead to future challenges. With a deep connection to its fans and the city of Kiel, the "Zebras" consistently build on their legacy, always focused on reaching new heights.
Sharing this forward-looking mindset, we are excited to support the club’s ongoing success with our timeless and high-quality clothing as they continue to make history.
