Fifth edition of Queen & King of the Court in Hamburg
The city of Hamburg has developed into one of the world’s leading international beach volleyball destinations. The city first hosted a Queen & King of the Court tournament in 2021 at the iconic Rothenbaum Stadium. That year, Germany’s volleyball legend Laura Ludwig and Switzerland’s Anouk Vergé-Dépré were crowned Queens, while Poland’s Piotr Kantor and Bartosz Łosiak claimed the King’s title. For Laura Ludwig, this was one of many Queen & King of the Court tournaments in her career, including her recent victory in Utrecht.
Global stage at Heiligengeistfeld
In 2022, the event moved to the Active City Arena on Heiligengeistfeld, which has since become its annual venue. German stars like Nils Ehlers and Clemens Wickler have excelled here, with the team claiming the Hamburg title in 2024 and additional wins in Doha and Luxembourg in 2023.
London Olympic Gold Medalist Julius Brink is excited to see the event return for a fifth time. “Hamburg is undoubtedly the capital of beach volleyball in Germany. It is an essential event on our calendar and a privilege to host the Queen & King of the Court, showcasing so many international top players.”
Top athletes from around the world have competed in Hamburg, including world and Olympic champions. For example, the American world champions Hughes/Cheng won the 2024 Hamburg title, and the legendary Norwegian duo Mol/Sørum were the 2023 champions in Hamburg. The 2025 edition promises another unforgettable lineup featuring both international volleyball legends and top German players.
