History

The club was formed in August 1909 by a group of sports-mad juveniles and takes its name from the Spanish word for dove. A multi-sport club, Paloma has departments for badminton, basketball, gymnastics, judo, jiu jitsu, kung fu, table tennis, and handball. The handball-team won the Hamburg Oberliga championship in 2007–08.

After their first Hamburger Pokal (Hamburg Cup) win in 2002 Paloma took part in the opening round of the 2002–03 DFB-Pokal (German Cup) where they lost 0–5 to Bundesliga side 1. FC Kaiserslautern. A second Hamburger Pokal win in 2014 returned the team to DFB-Pokal play, this time to face Bundesliga club TSG 1899 Hoffenheim who beat USC 0–9.

After two seasons in the Oberliga Hamburg Paloma was relegated again from this level in 2016.

gollark: Black holes can offer the same conversion efficiency *and* you can actually get energy out.
gollark: I might be wiser in a few ways, but mostly I would have advanced future knowledge™.
gollark: I would then use this to subtly influence future (past) events I don't like, such as "brexit".
gollark: I could just attain money via ??? child things, spend it on some bitcoins (or even *mine* it, since it took a while for people to catch onto GPUs then ASICs) and then have 19024719827490 capital.
gollark: I have vague knowledge of deep learning things which are really recent and would probably substantially accelerate progress if brought to the past somehow. More importantly, though, I would simply buy bitcoin.
