Paul Drux Bids Adieu to Handball-Bundesliga: A Heartfelt Farewell at the Berliner Schmeling-Halle
Heartfelt Goodbyes for Drux: "He'll Return Again" - Magnificent adieu to Drux: "He'll return" reframed.
It was more than just a handball match - it was a poignant goodbye. Paul Drux, a veteran player and a beloved figure of the Füchse Berlin team, said his final goodbyes amidst a sea of emotions, surrounded by his teammates and thousands of fans at the Berliner Schmeling-Halle.
"I've shared laughs, victories, and struggles with many of you for more than a decade," Drux reminisced, addressing his teammates during the emotional event. His fears were captured with an oversized jersey bearing his name, suspended above him as he, the friendly face of the Füchse Berlin, prepared to hang up his jersey for good.
October marked the premature end of Drux's playing career. After months of battling severe knee injuries, doctors advised him to retire. Despite the setback, there's still hope for his return. "He'll immerse himself in companies for a while, gaining valuable experience," announced club president Frank Steffel, "Then, he'll be back with us as part of the Füchse Berlin management."
Drux, 29, stands as an icon in the German handball scene, with 272 games under his belt and 628 goals to his name for Füchse Berlin. His illustrious career included playing for the national team and winning multiple titles[2].

Future Plans
After bidding farewell to the sport he loves, Drux plans on gaining some experience in partner companies before returning to his roots as a member of the Füchse Berlin management[2].
Füchse Berlin Post-Drux
Drux's departure leaves a void, but Füchse Berlin looks to fill it with new blood. Tobias Grøndahl, a Norwegian player, is set to take his place, with the club aiming to maintain their competitive edge in both the German championship and the Champions League[1][2].
In the realm of his post-athletic career, Drux intends to explore vocational training in partnership companies, a stepping stone towards his return as a member of the Füchse Berlin management. Meanwhile, Füchse Berlin's community policy includes vocational training programs for its players, with the recruitment of Tobias Grøndahl signaling the continuation of their competitive edge in sports.
