Chemistry Leipzig: Four newcomers and Wendt returns!

Leipzig, Deutschland - On June 13, 2025, BSG Chemie Leipzig reported the commitment of four new players, including the return of an old acquaintance: Philipp Wendt. The 28-year-old central defender returns to his home club after a one-year stay at Carl Zeiss Jena, where he already played 160 competitive games. As MDR was dissolved in Jena before he was again followed by the chemists.

Wendt, who originally moved from TSG Neustrelitz to Chemie Leipzig in 2017, played a central role in the club. He was not only a leading player, but also a formative figure in the team, which made his departure all the more painful last year. Despite his red base, he planned to drive the team to Luckenwalde and emphasized the strong cohesion in the club. He was particularly remembered by the emotional DFB Cup games and a floodlight game against 1860 Munich, as he explained in a personal explanation.

The commitments of the new players should bring a breath of fresh air into the team. In addition to Wendt, Florian Horenburg and Tom Eisfeld were also presented as the new goalkeeper and the attacker Julius Hoffmann. Florian Horenburg, 23 years old, changes from Viktoria Berlin and receives a two-year contract. He can look back on 20 missions last season. Tom Eisfeld, who comes from his own U19 at the age of 18, will also compete for Benjamin Bellot's free -standing place.

• Florian Horenburg: 23 years old, changes from Viktoria Berlin, 20 missions last season.
• Tom Eisfeld: 18 years old, from their own U19.
• Julius Hoffmann: 21 years old, changes from 1. FC Magdeburg II, scored 6 goals and 4 templates last season.

The BSG Chemie Leipzig will seek an improvement in the league in the coming season. Wendt will play a key role and bring his experience into the young team. His return is seen as a great profit for the club by many, especially after the unfortunate departure and the recent sporting challenges.

The integration of new players, combined with the return of an old friend, could give BSG Chemie Leipzig the necessary strength to achieve their goals. Wendt himself has already emphasized that chemistry remains a matter close to his heart and is planning to maintain close contact with his former teammates, such as Chemie Leipzig indicated.
