History
The Franken Hexer were founded in 2002 as a "joint project of several Middle Franconian clubs to promote young basketball talents". The newly founded club started with a men's team in the lowest league (district class) as well as a male U16 and U18 team. The men's teams were also explicitly intended for young players.
In 2016, the name was changed to Falcons.
In the 2018–19 ProA season, Nürnberg ended in third place in the standings. In the playoffs it defeated second-seeded Heidelberg to qualify for the ProA finals. Because of this achievement, the team earned promotion to the Basketball Bundesliga (BBL) for the first time. In May 2019, it was announced that Falcons did not obtain a license for the BBL due to not meeting requirements on minimum arena size and minimum budget.
Echipa concurează în prezent în cea de-a doua ligă germană de baschet, ProA. Arena proprie a clubului este Max-Morlock-Halle, cu o capacitate de aproximativ 4.000 de locuri.
În sezonul 2022-2023, Nürnberg Falcons a terminat pe locul 10 în ProA. Echipa este condusă de antrenorul principal, Raoul Korner, și are o echipă cu jucători talentați, inclusiv James Vaughn, Jason Boone și Kevin Wohlrath.
Obiectivul clubului Nürnberg Falcons este de a promova în Bundesliga, cea mai înaltă ligă germană de baschet. Echipa are o bază solidă de fani și este susținută de o organizație bine condusă.
