History
editThe club was founded on February 4th 1904 as a Gymnastics association. From the beginning it was only a men's club, but from 1907 women were included too.
The handball department was founded in 1926, first as field handball and later as indoor handball.
In 1959, two years after the first German indoor Championship, the club was a pioneer, when it decided to distinguish between the indoor handball team and the field handball team, and put an emphasis on achieving indoor success.[4]
