The praise, the words of respect are not lacking these days, since Heiner Brand is 70 years old. For DHB President Andreas Michelmann, he is “one of the greatest personalities we’ve ever had – not just in handball, but in all of German sport”.

With his heart club, VfL Gummersbach, Brand celebrated the German championship six times, won the DHB Cup four times and won the European Cup five times. He stayed with the club for 27 years. He was crowned world champion both as a player – in 1978 – and as a coach. The team’s victory at the home World Cup in 2007 triggered an unexpected level of euphoria.

Question: Mr. Brand, what is the best way to make you happy on your 70th birthday?
