History
In February 2013, former player Pascal Roller and entrepreneur Wolfgang Sahm announced their plans to bring back professional basketball to Hamburg. There had been no professional basketball in the city since the bankruptcy of BCJ Hamburg in 2002. The original goal of the club was to obtain a wild card for the first tier Basketball Bundesliga. However, the team was given a spot in the second tier ProA.
The club debuted in the 2014–15 ProA season. It played its first home game on 28 September 2014, and won 66–65 over Gießen 46ers. In its debut season, the team ended eight in the standings. In the 2015–16 season, the Towers had the highest average attendance of all ProA clubs with 3,047 per game.
In the 2018–19 season, Hamburg finished the regular season in the fourth place. On 30 April 2019, Hamburg Towers promoted to the Basketball Bundesliga for the first time after defeating first-seeded Chemnitz Niners in the playoffs semifinals, and thus reaching the ProA Finals. On 4 May 2019, the team won the ProA championship after defeating Nürnberg Falcons in the second leg.
Known for their fast-paced and exciting style of play, the Hamburg Towers have quickly established themselves as a competitive force in the BBL. With a talented roster of players from around the world, the team has consistently been a contender for the playoffs and has garnered a strong following of loyal fans.
The Hamburg Towers play their home games at the Inselparkhalle, a state-of-the-art arena that provides an electric atmosphere for fans to cheer on their favorite team. With a commitment to excellence both on and off the court, the Hamburg Towers are a team to watch in the German basketball scene.
