A look at history
Until the 1999/2000 season, SG Braunschweig participated in the Basketball Bundesliga. With the establishment of Basketball-Braunschweig GmbH and the acquisition of the Bundesliga license in 2000, a new era began. Main sponsor Metabox enabled the move to the modern Volkswagenhalle, but financial difficulties led to insolvency as early as 2001. The club survived thanks to local support, undergoing several name and sponsor changes—from StadtSport Braunschweig to BS Energy.
In 2006, the team rebranded as New Yorker Phantoms, gaining attention with achievements like playoff appearances. Since 2014, under the name Basketball Löwen Braunschweig, the focus shifted to nurturing young talent. NBA star Dennis Schröder became the majority owner in 2018, bringing fresh momentum. With a commitment to youth development and improved infrastructure, the club aims to compete sustainably at the top level, both athletically and financially.
