Kampahalle in Minden: Reopening postponed until December 2025!
There's a lot of excitement in handball, because the Bundesliga team GWD Minden is facing a real challenge. The reopening of the Kampa Hall, which was originally planned for the beginning of September 2025, is now delayed until December 2025 at the earliest. This unexpected news came at short notice from the renting district of Minden-Lübbecke, and managing GWD employee Nils Torbrügge is more than just disappointed about this serious postponement, which he did not expect. Ultimately, the schedule was stuck to the middle of the season and everything seemed to be on track, reports the Mopo.
For GWD Minden, this not only means organizational stress, but also major financial losses. The club expects a six-figure shortfall in ticketing revenue. Season ticket sales began under the assumption that the team would return to the Kampa Hall at the end of August. The disappointment among the fans is palpable as there was great anticipation for the home games. Now the club has to improvise because the professionals and the GWD family are dependent on a lack of a permanent home game and training hall. Home games are planned in the Lübbecke district sports hall as a temporary solution, with the club's management working intensively to be able to offer equivalent seats in order to offer fans an acceptable alternative, the club explains on its website GWD Minden.
High expectations and great anticipation
The Kampa Hall, which was due to reopen after extensive modernization work, was a central promise to the club's fans, sponsors and partners. The return to the new hall was awaited with great anticipation. But now those responsible are faced with the challenge of maintaining the trust of partners and supporters. Torbrügge emphasizes the importance of reliability and transparency in communication during this difficult time. The club wants to continue to maintain good relationships with its supporters so as not to disappoint the existing GWD family Mopo.
The Handball Bundesliga, the highest German professional handball league, is also in the midst of this turbulence. It currently comprises 18 clubs and has developed rapidly since its founding in the 1966/67 season. The game is organized as a round-robin tournament without playoffs, and fan participation plays a crucial role. GWD Minden's current problems cast a shadow over the start of the new season, which is scheduled to begin in August or September Wikipedia.
How the whole thing will continue and how GWD Minden will overcome the remaining challenges remains to be seen. One thing is certain: the handball community is looking forward to developments, while the club is doing everything it can to keep the game running professionally even in these difficult times.
