吕讷堡SK Hansa

The former Oberliga team, Lüneburger SK, got into financial difficulties after its relegation from Regional League North (Regionalliga Nord) in 2001, which eventually led in 2002 to the initiation of insolvency proceedings. To resolve the club's debts its president, Manfred Harder, looked for suitable partners. After three months of negotiations he announced in early 2008 with the committee of the district league team, Lüneburger SV, the foundation of a new club, FC Hansa Lüneburg.

In the 2008–09 season the new club merged the football divisions of both clubs fully. FC Hansa Lüneburg took over the position held by Lüneburger SK in the Lower Saxony League (Niedersachsenliga) and its right to participate in the first main round of the 2008–09 DFB-Pokal, playing VfB Stuttgart (result 0–5). In the Lower Saxony League the club achieved 4th place in its first season.

In the 2013–14 season of the Niedersachsenliga, Lüneburg SK Hansa was the champion and have thus played since the 2014–15 season again in the 4th league, the Regionalliga Nord. In the 2017–18 season, LSK again played in the DFB-Pokal. The club were beaten in the first main round, with a 1–3 defeat against Bundesliga side Mainz 05, however midfielder Felix Vobejda scored the first goal for the club in the cup's history.

The first team has been using the Heinrich-Langeloh-Platz (shared with TSV Bardowick) since 2014, after Wilschenbruch stadium was demolished following its sale to make way for new residential homes.
