Thank you, Tim!

Tim Hornke played for SC Magdeburg for a total of ten years and rose to become a constant performer who impressed both nationally and internationally. This is symbolized by a single number: he scored 1528 goals in the Handball Bundesliga alone. His collection of titles with SC Magdeburg only underlines this fact: German championship, DHB Cup, EHF European League, IHF Super Globe and the EHF Champions League – Hornke has held most of the relevant trophies at club level in his hands more than once.

He never played himself into the foreground as a person. Appreciated for his calmness, consistency and professionalism, he embodied continuity in a squad that was constantly developing for years. He showed himself to be a team-oriented player who never took himself more seriously than the club.

“That was a wonderful handball career. Thank you to my family, my coaches, my teammates – to everyone who has accompanied me along the way. Thanks also to the fans. What you are doing here does not happen a second time. I am very proud to have been a small part of this great handball club,” said Tim Hornke at the end of his career.

With Tim, SCM is leaving a figure of identification who will be missing in handball. But although the 35-year-old will no longer be a regular visitor to the GETEC Arena, the paths will certainly continue to cross here in Magdeburg.
