How it works
Our name
Why Rabbits?
Because we’re from Eppelheim. And for more than a hundred years, people from Eppelheim have been known all around the region as “Stallhasen”, hutch rabbits.
Back then Eppelheim was a village of bricklayers: around 1903 some 500 of them lived here and helped out in Heidelberg’s building boom. Anyone who could kept rabbits so there was more on the table. There was a hutch behind almost every house, and so everyone became a Stallhase.
Since 2016 the rabbit has been part of our name too, and we play in the league as DJK Rabbits Eppelheim. So the rabbit with the headband is a true local. And anyone who shouts “Go Rabbits!” is cheering on a little bit of all of Eppelheim.
Become a RabbitThe bricklayer explanation comes from David Depenau, who has researched the local nicknames of northern Baden.
Partnership
Together with the Foxes
Rabbits and foxes in one team: we join forces with the basketball department of TSV Wieblingen, the “Füchse”, for our women and youth teams.
Players from Eppelheim and Wieblingen form joint teams and practise in both places. That’s why many of our home games aren’t at the Ernst-Knoll-Halle but at Sportzentrum West in Heidelberg-Wieblingen. A home game is a home game: we’re just as happy to see you there.
It works the other way round too: the U12 and U10 boys are registered with TSV Wieblingen and also practise in Eppelheim.
History
Decades on the ball
Balls have been flying towards the hoop in Eppelheim for decades, at times even in the Bundesliga. How our women and men have fared since 2004, with all the ups and downs, is on their team pages.
- 1970/71
Bundesliga Süd: a team from Eppelheim plays in what was then Germany’s top league.
- 1976/77
2. Bundesliga Süd: newly promoted TV Eppelheim stays up.
- 1988
Straight to the top: founded in 1982, the DJK basketball team climbs from the Kreisliga to the Regionalliga in six years.
