In 2008 the club won the EHF Cup, which was their first and to date only international title.

History The club was founded on June 1, 1981 under the name HSG Nordhorn. It was founded as a fusion of Eintracht Nordhorn and Sparta Nordhorn. They were promoted to the Bundesliga for the first time in 1997.
In 2008 they won the EHF Cup, but only a few months later they had financial issues, and had to change their name to the current HSG Nordhorn-Lingen after donations from the city of Lingen. On February 16, 2009 the company behind the club declared bankruptcy, and the club was therefore administratively relegated after the 2008-09 season.
In the 2018-19 season the club was promoted to the Bundesliga once again by finishing second in the second Bundesliga. They survived one season, but in 2020-21 they were relegated once again.
