DTTB Sportgericht Rejects Berlin Appeal and Upholds Weinheim Title

It highlights a gap in DTTB regulations that leave no ceiling on hall temperatures, fueling calls for athlete safety reforms.

Overview

  • The DTTB Sportgericht upheld the 6:0 second-leg score to confirm TTC 1946 Weinheim as German women’s champion following their 6:3 first-leg victory.
  • TTC Berlin Eastside’s challenge to the abandoned final was dismissed, preventing the club from securing a season ’Triple’ after cup and Champions League wins.
  • Berlin retains the right to file a further appeal with the DTTB Bundesgericht within two weeks of the ruling.
  • The court noted that DTTB competition rules specify no upper limit on indoor hall temperatures and found no breach of existing venue regulations.
  • The decision has intensified demands for the DTTB to introduce explicit temperature caps and clearer protocols to protect player health.
