In July 1997 the handball departments of TSV Oftersheim and TV Schwetzingen 1864 merged to form the handball community 1997 Oftersheim / Schwetzingen (only community, no independent club). The players and passives, however, remained in their home clubs as members .

Both home clubs already had second division experience in their respective handball departments. TV 64 spent two years in the lower house in the 90s, while TSV Oftersheim was in the second highest German division in the 80s. This experience initially paid off, as some of the former players now held official posts.

In 2002 the handball players from SV 98 Schwetzingen joined the syndicate . Since then, the HG has also offered girls and women the opportunity to play handball among its ranks. This possibility remained largely intact even after the SV left in 2009. In the 2005/2006 season, the club sent six active and 24 youth teams on the hunt for points and goals.

Placements in the men's area

After the third place in the Regionalliga Süd, to which the two parent clubs TSV and TV belonged before, in the first year of the merger, the Regionalliga team had to relegate to the Badische Oberliga in the following season 1998/1999 due to a single insufficiently scored goal. Here the team played an outstanding role and became champions of Baden with only four loss points. The title win was synonymous with the direct return to the newly formed single-track South German Regionalliga. In the 2000/2001 season, the team was able to convince from the start and finish the round with fourth place. In the 2001/2002 season, the HG was in the meantime on the 2nd place in the table, before an injury mishap caused the team to slip into the lower table regions, but the class under the new coach Wilfried Job kept. In the following season, the HG increasingly relied on its own offspring and initially achieved sixth final rank, then in 2004 as a regional league champion directly to the 2nd handball Bundesliga . After heights - like fourth place in 2006 - 2009 there was relegation back to the Regionalliga Süd. After another relegation, the first men's team played in the fourth-highest division of the Baden-Württemberg Oberliga since 2010 . In the 2015/16 season, the team was able to win the BWOL championship title and thus qualify for the 3rd league , in which they finished the 2016/17 season as the best climber in the southern season in 6th place.

With the promotion of the second men's team from the Landesliga Nord to the Badenliga in the 2013/14 season, it caught up with the top group of reserves in Baden-Württemberg, where only the second representatives of the Bundesliga teams from Balingen-Weilstetten, Konstanz and Kronau / Play Östringen in a higher class (as of 2016/2017).

Success in the youth field

The youth work of the playing community was the focus of the efforts from the beginning and at the national level the youth teams have since achieved a number of successes: The B-Youth became German runner-up in 2000 and 2008, as did the A-Youth in 1998 - in the first year of existence the syndicate. The A-youth was also able to qualify for the newly created youth league handball (JBLH) in the following seasons :

season JBLH qualification season JBLH qualification
2011/12 Qualified 2016/17 Not qualified
2012/13 Not qualified 2017/18 Not qualified
2013/14 Qualified 2018/19 Qualified
2014/15 Qualified 2019/20 Qualified
2015/16 Qualified

Placements in the women's area

With the championship title of the Mannheim District League in the 2014/2015 round, the first women's team qualified for the Northern League for the first time. There you could qualify as fourth place in the first season for the newly created association league. In the 2016/2017 season, the team achieved their fourth promotion in a row and thus, from the 2017/2018 season, they were eligible to start in the Baden League. After only 2 seasons, a further rise was achieved in 2018/2019 by achieving 1st place on the last match day, which means that the Baden-Württemberg Oberliga will start in the 2019/2020 round.
