Hamburg Towers is a professional basketball team, based in Hamburg, Germany. The Towers are currently playing in the Basketball Bundesliga, after promoting from the ProA in 2019.

Founded in 2013, the club played in the ProA from the 2014–15 season. In 2019, Hamburg promoted to the BBL for the first time. Since 2014, their home arena is the Edel-optics.de Arena in Wilhelmsburg. It has capacity for 3,400 people.

History
In February 2013, former player Pascal Roller and entrepreneur Wolfgang Sahm announced their plans to bring back professional basketball to Hamburg. There had been no professional basketball in the city since the bankruptcy of BCJ Hamburg in 2002. The original goal of the club was to obtain a wild card for the first tier Basketball Bundesliga. However, the team was given a spot in the second tier ProA.

The club debuted in the 2014–15 ProA season. It played its first home game on 28 September 2014, and won 66–65 over Gießen 46ers. In its debut season, the team ended eight in the standings. In the 2015–16 season, the Towers had the highest average attendance of all ProA clubs with 3,047 per game.

In the 2018–19 season, Hamburg finished the regular season in the fourth place. On 30 April 2019, Hamburg Towers promoted to the Basketball Bundesliga for the first time after defeating first-seeded Chemnitz Niners in the playoffs semifinals, and thus reaching the ProA Finals. On 4 May 2019, the team won the ProA championship after defeating Nürnberg Falcons in the second leg.

Stadium or Home

The Edel-optics.de Arena (known until May 2017 as Inselparkhalle) is a multi-function sports facility in the Wilhelmsburg district of Hamburg with a sports hall and a swimming pool. The hall is the home venue of the second division basketball team Hamburg Towers. It is owned by the Benno and Inge Behrens Foundation, and operated by the InselAkademie Sport- und Schulungszentrum Wilhelmsburg GmbH.

History
The sports hall was originally an exhibition site built for the International Garden Show 2013. Construction began in October 2011 and was completed in the spring of 2013. Work on the swimming pool began in June 2011 and was completed in May 2013. After the garden show, the hall was converted into a sports hall at a cost of €14 million, of which the Benno and Inge Behrens Foundation contributed over €6 million. €4.5 million of funding was provided from the Hamburg International Building Exhibition, and the city of Hamburg paid the remainder, a little over €3.5 million. The hall was inaugurated in late October 2014 with a Hamburg Towers match.

The sports hall was commissioned by the Benno and Inge Behrens Foundation and IBA Hamburg. The building work was carried out by bs2architekten from Hamburg. In May 2017, the Hamburg optics group Edeloptics GmbH acquired the naming rights of the hall, and the name was changed to the "edel-optics.de Arena".

In addition to basketball, in December 2015, a professional boxing event took place, including a fight between Jack Culcay-Keth and Dennis Hogan for the WBA interim championship super welterweight place. In May 2016, the Inselparkhalle was the venue of the 2016 European Darts Matchplay event. In August 2016, teams competed in the 2018 Wheelchair Basketball World Championship. On 30 October and 1 November 2016, the first official international matches of the German futsal national team took place in the hall.

In addition to sporting events, the building is also used for congresses, concerts, and conferences.
