TSV 1860 Munich Secures Florian Niederlechner: A Lions’ Den Reunion
TSV 1860 Munich Welcomes Home a Favorite Son
In a move that has sent shockwaves through the world of German football, TSV 1860 Munich has secured the services of striker Florian Niederlechner for the 2023/24 season. The 34-year-old, who began his professional career at the Grünwalder Stadion, is returning to his spiritual home after a dozen years.
Kevin Volland’s Friend Joins the Pride
Just days after the announcement of Kevin Volland’s return to the club, 1860 Munich has pulled off another coup, signing Niederlechner from Hertha BSC. The two strikers are close friends, having played together at Hertha Berlin, and Niederlechner was reportedly involved in the negotiations that brought Volland back to Munich.
Compromises Made for the Love of Lions
In a show of commitment, Niederlechner has agreed to a significant pay cut to make the move happen. According to exclusive reports from the Abendzeitung Munich, he will earn a salary typical of a third-division player, placing him far from the top earners at 1860. Volland, too, took a pay cut to help facilitate his move back to Munich.
An Experienced Addition to the Pride
Niederlechner brings a wealth of experience to the table, having played almost 300 first and second-division games and 102 third-division games. The 1.87-meter striker scored six goals and provided two assists in 26 Bundesliga games this season.

More Former Heroes Expected to Join
Niederlechner’s return follows the announcements of Kevin Volland and Kilian Jakob, two other former Lions who will be donning the 1860 jersey next season. There are even rumblings that Vitus Eicher, another former 1860 stalwart, could be set to make a comeback.
Patrick Hobsch’s Future Hangs in the Balance
With Volland and Niederlechner’s signatures on the dotted line, 1860 Munich’s striking options are looking stronger than ever. This could lead to Patrick Hobsch, the club’s top scorer this season, playing a reduced role next term. The Munich-born forward has been linked with a move to Hansa Rostock.
