Dynamo Dresden secures Jakob Lemmer until at least 2027

Dynamo Dresden announced on 21 June that Jakob Lemmer's contract has been extended. The 26‑year‑old midfielder remains with the club and heads into his fifth year with the Schwarz‑Gelben. Currently Dynamo Dresden sit 11th in the 2. Bundesliga with 41 points, 11W‑8D‑15L from 34 games, recent form WLWLW.

What does the extension mean?

The new deal was disclosed without a specific length, but club director Sören Gonther stressed Lemmer's continued importance. He praised the player's pace and finishing ability. Lemmer, who arrived from Kickers Offenbach in January 2023, has logged 135 competitive appearances, netted 26 goals and provided 19 assists. His growth mirrors the club's progress.

Why Lemmer is essential for the Schwarz‑Gelben

Lemmer has already contributed several decisive actions this season, while the side has scored 54 goals and conceded 53 (+1 goal difference). His first 2. Bundesliga goal came in spring, and he aims for more memorable moments. The team sits 29 points behind leaders FC Schalke 04, yet Lemmer's experience could help narrow the gap.

What comes next after the extension?

With Lemmer locked in, Dynamo Dresden heads into the summer break and prepares for the upcoming campaign. The squad's latest result was a 2‑1 win over Holstein Kiel on 17 May 2026 and they are on a four‑match winning run (WWWWL). The next league fixture is at home against Union Berlin on 1 August 2026. Lemmer is expected to play a leading role in attack, pushing the club back into the promotion race.
