The '''Vienna Timberwolves,''' formerly '''Vienna DC Timberwolves''', are an Austrian [basketball](/source/basketball) club based in [Wien](/source/Wien). Since the 2018–19 season, the Timberwolves play in the [Austrian Basketball Superliga](/source/Austrian_Basketball_Superliga) (BSL), the highest tier in Austrian basketball. The Timberwolves are three-times [Austrian Second League](/source/2._%C3%96sterreichische_Basketball_Bundesliga) winners.
The club was founded on 21 June 1957 as the basketball section of WAT Stadlau,[{{Cite web |url=https://citizen.bmi.gv.at/at.gv.bmi.fnsweb-p/zvn/public/imagesdyn/Vereinsregisterauszug?sessionID=bd39960f-c881-449b-a214-6a5a51cdbb89_20180213085440535&pdf=true |title=Archivierte Kopie |access-date=August 31, 2019 |archive-date=February 13, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180213195216/https://citizen.bmi.gv.at/at.gv.bmi.fnsweb-p/zvn/public/imagesdyn/Vereinsregisterauszug?sessionID=bd39960f-c881-449b-a214-6a5a51cdbb89_20180213085440535&pdf=true |url-status=dead }}] which was established two years earlier. In 1972, the club separated from the WAT Stadlau Omnisport club and became WAT Donaustadt. The first president of the club was Ferdinand Stadelmayer. In the 2014–15 season, the Timberwolves won the [2.ÖBL](/source/2._%C3%96sterreichische_Basketball_Bundesliga) but was not able to promote as it lost to [UBSC Graz](/source/UBSC_Graz) in the promotion playoffs. [Jakob Pöltl](/source/Jakob_P%C3%B6ltl) played in the Wolves youth sections during his younger years, from 2009 to 2016.[{{cite web|url=http://www.dctimberwolves.at/verein-presse/geschichte|title=Geschichte|work=www.dctimberwolves.at|access-date=31 August 2019|archive-date=22 August 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180822190337/http://www.dctimberwolves.at/verein-presse/geschichte|url-status=dead}}]
