The formation was founded in autumn 1994 by Franz Grabmaier, who sang as a student with the Regensburger Domspatzen , Gerhard Putz and Wilhelm Wittmann. The original ensemble had eight members. Little by little, more members were added, there were changes in line-up and, according to the company's own statements, an ideal line-up had come together in the mid-2000s.

In 2002 the formation took part in the German preliminary decision for the Grand Prix of Folk Music 2002 and took 8th place with the title I drive with my bee .
