history
The club was founded in 1921 by sports enthusiasts from Wolfsberg. The initially small group practiced their sport more or less in secret. In 1923 the Wolfsberg Workers' Gymnastics Club was officially founded. The focus was on men's and women's gymnastics. Due to the political situation, the association was dissolved in 1934. The association was re-established immediately after the end of the war.
Soccer
The ATSV Wolfsberg, which is also called "ATUS Wolfsberg" in various earlier reports, played in the first full year of play after the Second World War , i.e. 1946/47, in the 1st class, which was the top division of the Carinthian Football Association at the time (KFV) represented. However, there was relegation, but immediately promoted to the first class, which was divided into two regions, but was still the highest division at the state level (only the Tauern League , which was newly founded in the summer of 1949, was higher ).

The ATSV Wolfsberg escaped relegation from the Carinthian regional league as the third from last at the end of the 1996/97 season , as there was a merger between SK Austria Klagenfurt and Villacher SV in the Middle Regional League , which meant that SVG Bleiburg was also in the RLM could remain and thus no KFV club had to relinquish the RLM.
But three years later, at the end of the 1999/00 season, the ATSV Wolfsberg had to relegate as bottom of the table from the Carinthian regional league. It took five years before ATSV Wolfsberg could qualify again for the Carinthian regional league after the 2004/05 season. ATSV Wolfsberg was able to prevail in the relegation against ATUS Nötsch (A 1: 1, H 3: 0) and was thus represented again in the Carinthian regional league from the 2005/06 season onwards.
ATSV Wolfsberg was able to finish the championship of the Carinthian regional league in second place in the table in the 2010/11 and 2012/13 season. In the 2013/14 season, ATSV Wolfsberg then managed to achieve first place and as 2014 champions of the Carinthian regional league to rise to the regional league middle.
However, ATSV Wolfsberg ended the first game year in the Middle Regional League, the 2014/15 season, bottom of the table and had to relegate to the Carinthian regional league in summer 2015. ATSV Wolfsberg finished the 2015/16 season as runner-up in the Carinthian Regional League. However, since ATUS Ferlach, as champions in 2016, voluntarily renounced promotion to the Middle Regional League, ATSV Wolfsberg was able to return to it after a year of absence. In the 2016/17 season, ATSV Wolfsberg - together with another club from Carinthia, six clubs from Upper Austria and eight clubs from Styria - took part in the championship in the third-highest division in Austria. However, this second attempt lasted only a year, so that in 2017/18 the Carinthian League had to be played again.
Handball
In 1956 the handball club of ATSV Wolfsberg was runner-up in Austria. To this day, it is the club's greatest success. In 1961 the handball section was dissolved.
