Page "Wuppertal" Paragraph 68

Wuppertal's past most successful club are the aforementioned LTV Wuppertal.

LTV spent most of their seasons in the 2nd and 3rd tier, before they merged with Wuppertaler SV's handball section in 1996, to form HSG LTV / WSV Wuppertal.

The new handball combination promoted to the Handball-Bundesliga where they finished 8th, before dissolving again in 1998.

However, the departure of Wuppertaler SV still allowed LTV Wuppertal, whose handball section were renamed HC Wuppertal, to play another three seasons in the Bundesliga, before returning to the 2nd division.
