Location of Horsens HK

Horsens Håndboldklub Elite is a Danish handball club. In the 2018/19 season its first female team plays in the Danish 1st division after its relegation in 2010. The team plays at home in Forum Horsens.

The club was established in 1985 when Horsens forenede Håndboldklubber (HfH) and Dagnæs IF chose to merge. And HfH itself is a merge of Horsens Freja and Horsens forenede Sportsklubber (HfS). Horsens HK therefore can lead its roots back to 1920 when they began playing handball in HfS. Horsens HK played in the top level uninterrupted from 1996 to 2010. Just before the 2011/2012 HH Elite were relegated administratively due to not paying the participants' fee for the Danish 1. division in time.^[1]

National players like Vivi Kjærsgaard, Gitte Madsen, Anja Byrial Hansen, Karen Brødsgaard, Christina Roslyng, Louise Pedersen, Karin Mortensen, Tine Ladefoged, Mette Sjøberg and Jane Wangsøe Knudsen have played in Horsens HK.
