History

The club originates from a 2006 contract between Stefan Adam, then chairman of LTV Wuppertal, and SG Solingen, incorporating the Wuppertal club's management, squad and main sponsor into the Solingen-based club and renaming it to officially represent the entire Bergisches Land region. In 2011, "Die Löwen" were promoted to the Handball-Bundesliga for the first time since their establishment in 2006, though they were relegated in the first season. Bergischer HC reached the DHB-Pokal FINAL4 in the 2015–16 season, but were defeated by SC Magdeburg.
