After the unification of Germany in 1990, The Club joined the Bundesliga in 1991 spending four years in the top-flight before being relegated. Dresden faced financial difficulty and were denied a licence into the second tier, meaning they would go straight to the third-tier of German Football.

Manager Uwe Neuhaus took charge of the German club back in April 2015. He has since guided the club to a 5th and 14th place finish in the 2. Bundesliga after getting the side promoted during the 2015/16 campaign, his first full season in charge of the club.

Current Huddersfield Town centre-back Michael Hefele completed his transfer to the Terriers from Town’s pre-season opponents back in July 2016.
Hefele departed Dynamo having made 72 appearances for the club and captained them to promotion from Germany’s third division.
