History

After finishing third overall in the 2014/15 season, the team advanced to the 1st division German league and changed its name to TVB 1898 Stuttgart. The team's home matches will be played in Scharrena Stuttgart. Due to the limited capacity of the domestic arena, some matches will be held at the nearby Porsche-Arena.
