Dynamo Dresden: Sollbauer returns as a promotion hero!

Dynamo Dresden: Sollbauer returns as a promotion hero!

On Saturday at 4 p.m., an exciting football game will take place in Austria: Dynamo Dresden tests against SV Ried. For Michael Sollbauer, a former Dynamo player, this meeting has a special meaning. The defender, who relegated from the 2nd Bundesliga with Dresden in the 2012/22 season, has now made the promotion to the 1st Austrian Bundesliga with Ried. He is reluctant to remember the painful descent from back then, because the team was young and inexperienced at the time, he says. Now he is optimistic and anticipated for reunion with his former teammates, especially Christoph Daferner, who is currently actively playing in the Dynamo squad and always appreciates whose relationship. Daferner describes Sollbauer as an important player who has valuable experience and is still in demand in the 2nd league today.

Both players have kept in sporadic contact in the past. "I would like to win in the game," emphasizes Sollbauer, whereas you point out that you will take your hand after the game. This sporty spirit contributes to the positive mood between the teams, both of which are still looking for reinforcements and also put young talents in the spotlight in the test games.

season end with a bang

Dynama's end of the season could not be better. On May 17, 2025, the team celebrated a perfect end to a 3-0 win against SpVgg Unterhaching, which was already a relegated team. Before 30,646 fans, Mika Baur, Jakob Lemmer and Claudio Kammerknecht scored the goals in a game that duly completed the team. Trainer Thomas Stamm expressed extremely positive about the obligation of Christoph Daferner, who was firmly hired by the 1st FC Nürnberg after he was borrowed beforehand. This was a great sign of the future of the association, which made it to the 2nd Bundesliga with these players.

Before the game, the players were celebrated by the fans in a trellis on Lennéstrasse - an emotional moment that certainly created a good atmosphere for the team. In the meantime, the traffic chaos around the stadium, which was caused by other events, has also been discussed.

new additions and rental shops

In the past few weeks, Dynamo Dresden has also made some personnel changes. So newcomer Marlon Fass, who comes from the U 19 of TSG Hoffenheim, was borrowed to the Stuttgart Kickers. Sports Managing Director Thomas Brendel explains that Faß fits well into the Regionalliga Südwest and can collect game practice there, which he is currently missing in Dresden. Lutz Siebrecht, sports director of the Stuttgart Kickers, praises the young player and highlights his strengths in the penalty area.

With these developments, it can be seen that the Dresden team is on the right track to play a better role in the 2nd Bundesliga next year. If the squad planning continues to run so smoothly, Dynamo could reach new heights.

The coming days promise exciting encounters and developments for Dynamo Dresden, while Michael Sollbauer and Christoph Dasser celebrate their sporting roots and toast to soon.
