1. Frankfurter Badminton Club - Welcome to our homepage!
We are the traditional badminton club in Frankfurt, founded in 1953. From beginners to professionals who want to compete in tournaments, we are always looking for new club members. Currently, our club has more than 200 members from various countries around the world.
You may have noticed that most sections of this website are written in German. This is unlikely to change in the near future. Therefore, we aim to provide a summary of all relevant information on this page. Nonetheless, we encourage you to use a translation tool (such as DeepL or Google Translate) for more details, e.g. related to recent news or information about our yearly tournament.
If you have any concerns or questions, feel free to ask our executive board. You can find the e-mail address in the footer below. Further contact information are available here.
