History

TPSG Frisch Auf Göppingen was founded in 1896 as the Göppingen Gymnastics Club. In October 1920, the club established its own handball division. In 1971, the Frisch Auf Göppingen Gymnastics Club merged with the Göppingen Police Sports Association to form the Turn- und Polizeisportgemeinschaft Frisch Auf Göppingen. The club won nine championships between 1954 and 1972. He spent the 1990s in the 2. Handball-Bundesliga. In 2001, however, they were promoted to the Handball-Bundesliga again. In the 2010s, the club won four EHF Cups (2011, 2012, 2016 and 2017). The "Frisch Auf" part of the club's name is an old German salutation amongst gymnasts.
