History

The club was established in 1985 when Horsens forenede Håndboldklubber (HfH) and Dagnæs IF chose to merge. They decided to merge, as HfH only had a senior level team, while Dagnæs IF had good youth teams, but no senior team at a competitive level. 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. Horsens HK played in the top level uninterrupted from 1996 to 2010.{{cite news|url=https://hsfo.dk/sport/horsens-haandboldklubs-barske-historie-fra-storhed-til-fald-og-genrejsning|publisher=Horsens Folkeblad|title=Horsens Håndboldklubs barske historie: Fra storhed til fald og genrejsning|date=1 September 2019|access-date=20 February 2025|language=da}} Just before the 2011/2012 HH Elite were relegated administratively due to not paying the participants' fee for the Danish 1st Division in time.{{Cite web |last=Hasseriis |first=Jørgen |date=2019-11-12 |title=Ny supporterklub i HH Elite dyrker fællesskabet og håber på flere medlemmer |url=https://ugeavisen.dk/horsensposten/ny-supporterklub-i-hh-elite-dyrker-faellesskabet-og-haaber-paa-flere-medlemmer |access-date=2024-08-29 |website=Ugeavisen |language=da}}
