The Erber UHK Krems (Union Handball Club) is an Austrian handball club from Krems in Lower Austria .

The club currently plays in the highest Austrian handball league, the Handball League Austria .

history

In 1947 the UHK Krems was founded as the handball section of Union Krems. In the 1948/49 season, championship operations began. In the 1972/73 season the team achieved their first Austrian state championship and was also the first Austrian cup winner. In autumn 1973, the premiere took place in the European Cup against CSL Dijon . In the 1974/75 season, the double Austrian national champion and cup winner was won again. On November 25, 1975, the founding meeting of the UHK Krems took place as an independent association. In the 1976/77 season the club was again national champion. A year later, in the 1977/78 season, the club achieved their third win in the Austrian Handball Cup .

After the 1994/95 season, the club had to relegate to the handball Bundesliga. After the 2002/03 season, the team rose again and since then has always played in the master playoff of the highest handball league. In the 2009/10 season , the Lower Austrians won the ÖHB Cup. In 2010 the association was renamed from UHK Krems to Moser Medical UHK Krems , after the new main sponsor, the Moser Medical Group. In the 2010/11 season , the club once again made it into the cup final, but lost one goal to ULZ Schwaz from Tyrol.

In the years that followed, Moser Medical UHK Krems regularly made it into the top four teams in the league. Unfortunately, the men in red and yellow were denied the big hit.

After the Kremser failed by one goal in the semifinals against the eventual champions HC Fivers WAT Margareten in the 2017/18 season , a number of top performers left the club or ended their careers. Among these players was the multiple top scorer Tobias Schopf or Vlatko Mitkov who moved to Bregenz Handball .

Thus, the great change was heralded before the 2018/19 season and the team started the championship much younger. The Lower Austrians had the third youngest squad in the spusu league this season. The specified goal was to reach the bonus round and the associated early league status.

But Ibish Thaqi's team caught the eye right from the start and started a winning run that would later help to win the regular season. The UHK spent the Christmas break at the top of the table. In the subsequent bonus round, no team was able to push the Kremser from the throne and so they went into the playoffs as number 1. In addition to the strong performance in the league, the level in the cup was maintained and qualified for the Cashback World Final 4 in Dornbirn. Here the " red devils " from Hard could be defeated in the semi-finals , before the second Vorarlberg team, Bregenz Handball , was dealt with in the final . After a weak first half, the team was able to improve in the second half and, after 2010, bring the first cup title to the Wachau.

Moser Medical UHK Krems went into the playoffs as the title favorite. In the quarter-finals, SC Ferlach was confidently defeated with 2-0 victories before they faced the reigning champions from Vienna, the handball club Fivers Margareten, in the semifinals . Here, too, the people from Krems did well and had the chance to win the league title in Krems for the first time in 42 years. In a thrilling final series, the UHK succeeded in the all-important 5th final game in front of a home crowd and won the national championship title in the Wachau for the first time since 1977 and the "double" for the first time since 1975.
