A familiar face returning to the top flight, the Wanderers spent 13 years in the Bundesliga Oberhaus and were last in the first division in 2022, before stepping down voluntarily. They earned promotion back to the DBL as 2025 champions of the 2. Bundesliga Nord, and announced their return to the top tier with a near-flawless playoff run. Playing at the Hoeschpark in Dortmund, the Wanderers are the DBL's fresh upstarts in 2026.
