The association was founded in 1946 by Ralf Bohle († 2010), head of the Schwalbe company . In 1998 the men were promoted from the Regionalliga to the 2nd Bundesliga North. They stayed here until they became champions at the end of the 2013/14 season (in the line-up Frane Kojic, Benedikt Duda, Roman Rosenberg, Jakub Dyjas, Muhamed Kushov) and thus rose to the 1st Bundesliga. Here they strengthened themselves with national player Steffen Mengel from TTC Frickenhausen and the Brazilian Gustavo Tsuboi and immediately finished seventh with seven wins. For the season 2015/16 also came Ricardo Walther from TTC Hagen added, and the team was able to last hopes for a playoff spot make (although Tsuboi came only three appearances in the season). After the team had created a good starting position with a win over their direct competitor Borussia Düsseldorf on the penultimate matchday, it lost fourth place at the end of the season through a narrow defeat against table eighth Post SV Mühlhausen .

As part of the concept of offering young German players a platform, Gustavo Tsuboi was parted with for the 2016/17 season and Florian Schreiner was hired , but he only played on the last day of the season, which ended again in fifth place, and then his professional career due to injury finished. He and Ricardo Walther were replaced by Sharath Kamal Achanta and Álvaro Robles for the 2017/18 season . Achanta and Mengel could not build on the performances of the previous season (balance sheet of 5: 4 and 13:10), so that this time Bergneustadt did not get above 7th place for the whole season and ended up in eighth place. Then Mengel and Achanta left the club, Paul Drinkhall and 16-year-old Vladimir Sidorenko came for them . In the 2018/19 season, the club played more successfully again, also because Drinkhall and Robles had the best double in the league with a 6-1 record and were able to decide most of the tight games in Bergneustadt's favor. With 4th place they qualified for the play-offs for the first time and were eliminated in the semi-finals against TTF Liebherr Ochsenhausen . During the season, the venue was also moved from the Gummersbacher Schwalbe Arena to Bergneustadt; the average attendance, which had fallen from 344 in the first season to 122 in the 2017/18 season, then rose sharply again: from 199 in the first four home games of the 2018/19 season to 397 in the other games.

For Sidorenko Alberto Miño came next season , and in the end they finished sixth. In 2020 Drinkhall was replaced by Stefan Fegerl .

Well-known players were u. a. Vladislav Broda , Jonathan Groth (Denmark), Andrew Baggaley (England), Jörg Bitzigeio , Miroslav Broda , Manfred Nieswand , Sandor Jankovic (formerly with Borussia Düsseldorf ), Seiya Kishikawa (Japan), Matthias Höring , and Boris Rosenberg (formerly USSR) .
