The RSB Thuringia Bulls are a German wheelchair basketball club from Elxleben , whose first team plays in the wheelchair basketball Bundesliga . From its founding in 2009 to its renaming in 2016, the team started under the name Oettinger RSB Team Thuringia .

In 2011, the first team from the 2nd South Wheelchair Basketball Bundesliga was promoted to the Wheelchair Basketball Bundesliga and has been part of it without interruption ever since.

In the 2015/16 season the triple was celebrated by winning the championship, the DRS Cup and the André Vergauwen Cup . In 2018 he won the German championship again and won the IWBF Champions Cup for the first time . They narrowly missed the renewed triple win after losing 69:70 afterwards in the semi-finals of the Cup Top Four tournament against the eventual cup winner RSV Lahn-Dill . In the following season, however, the championship, the cup and the Champions Cup were won. This made the Bulls the first German team to win a triple in these competitions. In February 2020, the team was able to set a new world record in wheelchair basketball with 56 competitive games in a row.
