History

SC Aufbau Magdeburg was founded in July 1955. From 1958 they played in the DDR-Oberliga. In the beginning they competed with their rivals ESV Lok Südost Magdeburg to be the biggest club in East Germany.

During the East German era, the club won 10 national handball championships (1970, 1977, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1988, 1991) and won the East German Cup four times. In 1991, SC Magdeburg won the last East German championship before being promoted to the Handball-Bundesliga after the fall of the Berlin Wall. In the 1990's the club was largely a midtable team. In the 1997-98 season they finished 3rd, which marked the rise to the top of German handball. They signed top European players such as Stefan Kretzschmar in 1996, Joël Abati and Guéric Kervadec in 1997, and Ólafur Stefánsson in 1998. They also brought in Alfreð Gíslason as the head coach. The team won the Handball-Bundesliga for the first time in2001. Since then they have won it two additional times in 2022 and 2024. They have also won the DHB-Pokal twice (1996, 2016) and the DHB-Supercup twice (1996, 2001). The club has also won the EHF Champions League five times (1978, 1981, 2002, 2023, 2025), the EHF European League four times (1999, 2001, 2007, 2021), the EHF Super Cup three times (1981, 2001, 2002,) and the IHF Super Globe twice (2021, 2022).
