Meiko Wäschenbach, a 22‑year‑old central midfielder, has transferred from 2. Bundesliga side Karlsruher SC to 3. Liga club Alemannia Aachen. He signed a deal running until 2028 with an option for an additional season.
Wäschenbach’s career includes youth spells at FC Hennef 05 and 1. FC Köln, where he helped the A‑Jugend win the DFB‑Pokal. He made 13 appearances for Karlsruher SC in the 2. Bundesliga and also featured for their U23 side in the Regionalliga and Oberliga. Sport‑Geschäftsführer Rachid Azzouzi highlighted his “good aggression and technique” and praised the valuable experience he brings.
