History

The club was established from the merger in 2002 of the handball sections of TSG Balingen and TV Weilstetten. This merger was quickly beneficial as HBW Balingen-Weilstetten finished first in the regional championship (Regionalliga) and were promoted to 2. Handball-Bundesliga. HBW became champion in 2006, which meant promotion to the Handball-Bundesliga. The merger has been widely perceived to be successful since the club managed to maintain its position in the top division that season thanks to its thirteenth place out of the 18 participants. The following seasons, the results of the club remained rather constant since it avoided relegation each season by ranking between thirteenth and fifteenth place (first non-relegation). At the end of the 2013/14 season, the team was ranked 16th in the table, so it was eliminated from the sports standings but remained in the Bundesliga because HSV Hamburg was not licensed for the 2014/15 season. The license was finally given to HSV Hamburg, so the 2014–2015 Bundesliga was played with 19 clubs. During the 2014/2015 season, the club achieved its best run in the Championship with an eleventh place but was relegated at the end of the 2016/2017 season due to its seventeenth place. Back in 2. Handball-Bundesliga, the club finished fifth in 2018 then champion in 2019, synonymous with a return to the top flight. HBW have remained in the Handball-Bundesliga since 2019 after a fifteenth-placed season in 2020–21.
