History

The handball club originates from Margareten, Wien's 5th district, hence the name Fivers. The progenior club Allgemeiner Turnverein was founded in 1894, and in 1919 WAT Margareten was founded. With the rise of fascism in Austria, the club was banned in 1934 due to their strong social democratic connections. It was refounded after the 2nd World War.

During its history, it reached the Austrian First Division for the first time in 1982, and since then it has been continuously in the national elite. In 1999 they won their first title, the Austrian Cup. They won the championship 3 times (2011, 2016, 2018), they were cup winners 8 times (1999, 2009, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2021) and they won the Super Cup 4 times (2013, 2014, 2015, 2020).
