After the reunification of Germany, Dynamo played four seasons in the top division, Bundesliga, from 1991 to 1995, but have since drifted between the second and fourth tiers. Since being relegated from the 2. Bundesliga at the end of the 2021/22 season, the club is part of the 3. Bundesliga.
Although the club's badge is predominantly red, they use gold and black as their home colours, derived from the official city flag and coat of arms of the city of Dresden.
