HC Erlangen is a handball club from Erlangen, Germany. They currently compete in the Handball-Bundesliga.
History HC Erlangen was made as a merger between HG Erlangen and CSG Erlangen. In the 2000/2001 season, both HG Erlangen and CSG Erlangen played in the 2. Handball-Bundesliga, but CSG Erlangen had to drop out due to a licensing problem, so the club decided to merge with its neighbor, HG Erlangen. The new club was formed and was named HC Erlangen.
They reached the DHB-Pokal FINAL4 in 2022, but lost their semi-final match against SC Magdeburg 30—22.
