Overview
- The DEL club confirmed Baxmann’s immediate move from local rival Lausitzer Füchse, with both sides agreeing to end his contract in Weißwasser.
- Club chief executive Maik Walsdorf publicly thanked Füchse boss Dirk Rohrbach for enabling the cross‑Saxony switch without obstacles.
- Baxmann succeeds Matthias Roos, who was relieved of his duties in late November after a poor run that also cost coach Niklas Sundblad his job.
- He joins to steer short‑term survival efforts and parallel planning, as Dresden sit last in the DEL, 13 points off next‑to‑last after 36 games.
- The 40‑year‑old ex‑defenseman logged 939 DEL games, won seven titles with Eisbären Berlin, earned 39 caps for Germany, and later served as advisor and sporting director in Weißwasser under a sport‑management background; his Dresden deal is reported as three years.
