History

After being promoted to the Basketball Bundesliga again in 2004 the name was changed to Walter Tigers Tübingen. In 14 consecutive seasons in the top flight they never succeeded in reaching the play-offs and were finally relegated to the ProA after finishing last in the 2017/18 season. In their first ProA season 2018/2019 the name was changed to Tigers Tübingen and they missed the playoffs by one spot finishing in the 9th place. The 2019/20 season will be their second season in the ProA.
