Document Summary
The historical development of handball in the world. The danish encyclopedia athena lexicon says, that at the turn of the 19th century handball was popularized at the oldrup gymnastics school. In 1898, the teacher holger nielsen introduced a running game with two goals in which 14 persons, divided into two teams, took part. The game in which a ball was passed with the players" hands was called handball. The first game rules were issued in 1906 at the oldrup. The germans also claim to have developed the game. Klaudina, the author of a book das handball spiel , published in 1941 in leipzig, claims that handball derives from a game called konigsbergerball , which was then renamed torball - which means goal ball. Records on handball development in germany are dated from the period after 1915. In 1917 max heiner, a teacher from berlin began developing handball as a sport for women.
