History

The club was founded on June 1, 1981 under the name HSG Nordhorn. It was founded as a fusion of Eintracht Nordhorn and Sparta Nordhorn.[2] They were promoted to the Bundesliga for the first time in 1997.

In 2008 they won the EHF Cup,[1] but only a few months later they had financial issues, and had to change their name to the current HSG Nordhorn-Lingen after donations from the city of Lingen. On February 16, 2009 the company behind the club declared bankruptcy, and the club was therefore administratively relegated after the 2008-09 season.[3]

In the 2018-19 season the club was promoted to the Bundesliga once again by finishing second in the second Bundesliga.[4] They survived one season, but in 2020-21 they were relegated once again.[5]
