Basketball in Göttingen

Sartorius Supports Professional and Junior Teams

Besides locating Sartorius headquarters, Göttingen is a traditional basketball location. The "BG Göttingen" men's team has been playing in the city since 1974 and moved up to the "Basketball Bundesliga" (Germanies major Basketball league) for the first time in 2007. The women's and youth teams are also established locally and play basketball at a high level. As a long-standing partner of basketball in Göttingen, Sartorius is helping to continue this success story by providing the appropriate environment for future success.

Passion for the Game

Since 2020, BG Göttingen's junior teams have been playing as the Sartorius Juniors (NBBL) and Sartorius Youngsters (JBBL). In 2017, the 2,660-square-meter "Sartorius Basketball Lab" was opened, which is not only used for training but also for hosting games by the two junior teams. Finally, there is also a Sartorius company basketball team at the headquarters in Göttingen, in which quite a few former professionals remain active on the ball even after their sports careers have ended.
