Bjoern started playing handball when he was 9 or 10 years old. That means he has been playing continuously for about 25 years now. Bjoern grew up in his home town of Würzburg, Germany and played with a local club in various leagues until he moved to Sweden to study. In Sweden, he joined the team Sävar IK which then played in the Swedish div. 2. When he came back to Würzburg, his team was coached by Horia Markel, a professional coach with the highest certifications. It was from Horia that Bjoern learned most of his handball.
After graduation in 2000, he moved to Houston, Texas and co-founded a handball club there. As the club was too small to field its own team, he played for the Condors from Atlanta. His biggest success with the Condors was winning the Gold Medal at the 2004 Itajaí Handball Cup in Itajaí, Brazil.
After his move back to Germany, Bjoern first played in two clubs in Berlin. He now plays for the BSV Luckau just south of Berlin in the state of Brandenburg (4th division, Berlin-Brandenburg league).
The highlight in his handball career was a one-week stint in fall 2004 in Pamplona, Spain to practice with the Spanish champion of that season, Portland San Antonio. Judged to be one of the best teams in the world, this club was home to such celebrities as world-handball-players Jackson Richardson and Ivano Balic, 1984 Olympic Bronze Medal winner Alexandru Buligan, Champions-League winner Demetrio Lozano and World-Champions Mateo Garralda, Juancho Perez and Albert Rocas.
