History
In 1947 the UHK Krems was founded as the handball section of Union Krems. On November 25, 1975, the founding meeting of the UHK Krems took place as an independent association. 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 2010 the association was renamed from UHK Krems to Moser Medical UHK Krems, after the new main sponsor, the Moser Medical Group.
