The club was formed in 1999 as "BV Chemnitz 99" by the fusion of the clubs BG Chemnitz and Lok Chemnitz. In 2001, BV Chemnitz 99 began a cooperation with the Chemnitz University of Technology, which is why "TU" was added to the team name. In the summer of 2002, the division of the men's team (BV TU Chemnitz 99) and the women's team (Chemcats Chemnitz) followed. For the men's team, the nickname Niners evolved through the foundation year 1999.
On 28 May 2015, Chemnitz hired Argentine Rodrigo Pastore as new head coach. In 2017, the nickname Niners was officially adopted as new club name.
