The Union
The association was founded on April 19, 1990. Its origins lie in the company sports association of the GDR film company DEFA . Just two years later, in 1992, the club became a handball national base. In 2002/2003 the female department left the association and switched to the newly founded HSC Potsdam.
The flagship is the men's team, which made it to the 2nd Bundesliga in the 2008/09 season without losing points . They had already played there a season earlier, but were relegated straight away. By reaching 5th place in the table in the 2010/2011 season, the team qualified for the one-piece 2. Bundesliga from the 2011/2012 season. In 2012 she was relegated to the 3rd division ; there she plays in the North season.
In July 2013 the board of directors filed for bankruptcy. The procedure was completed in June 2014.
