SPREEFÜXXE has a new platinum partner at its side: Kieback&Peter, the main sponsor of the Füchse Berlin and expert in building automation, is increasing its commitment from the 2024/25 season by also supporting the Füchse Berlin women's handball team. This partnership marks an important milestone in the 2nd Women's Handball Bundesliga and is a strong support for the coming years.

A meaningful partnership

The collaboration between Kieback&Peter and the SPREEFÜXXE is all about diversity in sport. The partnership not only aims to promote the team's sporting achievements, but also to create an environment that strengthens diversity and equal opportunities for women in sport. The partnership was announced during the game between Füchse Berlin (men's team) and SG Flensburg-Handewitt on 8 February at the Kieback&Peter Presenter Day in the Max-Schmeling-Halle. The announcement was made during the half-time break by Christoph Ritzkat (Managing Director of Kieback&Peter) together with Bob Hanning (Managing Director of Füchse Berlin) and Britta Lorenz (Manager of SPREEFÜXXE).
