History
In the 2000/2001 season, both HG Erlangen and CSG Erlangen played in the 2. Handball-Bundesliga, but this season CSG Erlangen dropped out due to a licensing problem, so the club decided to merge with its neighbor, HG Erlangen, which is already in the 2. Handball-Bundesliga. The new club was formed and was named HC Erlangen. They reached the DHB-Pokal FINAL4 in 2022, but lost their semi-final match against SC Magdeburg 30—22.
