History

The club was established in 1985 when Horsens forenede Håndboldklubber (HfH) and Dagnæs IF chose to merge. They merged at HfH only had a senior level, while Dagnæs IF had good youth teams, but no senior team at a competitive level. [2] And HfH itself is a merge of Horsens Freja and Horsens forenede Sportsklubber (HfS). Horsens HK therefore can lead its roots back to 1920 when they began playing handball in HfS. [2] Horsens HK played in the top level uninterrupted from 1996 to 2010. [1] Just before the 2011/2012 HH Elite were relegated administratively due to not paying the participants' fee for the Danish 1st Division in time. [3]

In 2019 they were once again promoted to the Damehåndboldligaen, lead by head coach Henrik Okkerstrøm. [1]

National team players like Vivi Kjærsgaard, Gitte Madsen, Anja Byrial Hansen, Karen Brødsgaard, Christina Roslyng, Louise Pedersen, Karin Mortensen, Tine Ladefoged, Mette Sjøberg and Jane Wangsøe Knudsen have played in Horsens HK.
