Welcome to KLU Sports!
KLU is an official “partner university of high performance sport” represented by the Olympiastützpunkt Hamburg/Schleswig Holstein (Olympic base) and the Allgemeiner Deutscher Hochschulsport Verband (German University Sports Federation).
In the context of this cooperation, we have implemented a scholarship program for national team athletes, as well as a discount program for Bundesliga athletes (or an equivalent) in various sports.
Furthermore, KLU supports sport activities, such as being a member of the University Sport Service Hamburg (Hochschulsport Hamburg). Among other things KLU brings people together by organizing teams in different sports, through participating in university championships for example, and by organizing events with our own dragon boat.
