MTV Wolfenbüttel was a basketball club based in Wolfenbüttel, Germany. The basketball club established in 1956 within the multi-sports club MTV Wolfenbüttel (Männerturnverein Wolfenbüttel / in English: Men's gymnastics club Wolfenbüttel). In 2002, the clubs license was passed to Wolfenbüttel Dukes, and, in July 2008 to today's club as Herzöge Wolfenbüttel. In 2012 Herzöge Wolfenbüttel merged with MTV Wolfenbüttel again.
