From a long tradition - in Dankersen, a village with about 5160 inhabitants (now part of the town of Minden ) Handball is played since 1924 - the TSV GWD Minden has become one of the most famous clubs in the Federal Republic of Germany.

The club was founded on 31 May 1924 at that time under the name TV " oak " Dankersen DT.

Intermezzo in Hanover

After problems with the compilation of the budget for the 2004/2005 season, it was agreed with the operators of TUI Arena in Hannover (then Preussag Arena) that GWD Minden moved half of its league matches of the domestic Kampa-Halle in Minden to Hanover. In return, the TUI Arena paid for a large part of the budget. Already in the preseason Minden had discharged their top games in Hanover.

2004, the Bundesliga team of TSV GWD Minden was officially renamed in GWD Minden -Hannover. All other teams played the GWD broader than TSV GWD Minden. However, the Games of GWD Minden -Hannover came mostly at low interest of the Hanoverian audience.

In September 2005, there were disputes between the management of GWD Minden -Hannover and the owner of the TUI Arena, Günter Papenburg. Papenburg stopped the payments to GWD Minden- Hannover, because he accused the Mindenern not to use his money for a competitive team. Then GWD Minden terminated the contract with the arena and again denies any games in Minden. In addition, the suffix " Hannover " has been deleted, so that the first team again GWD Minden is now called, while the TSV is found only in the name of the parent association.
