The 2012-13 campaign delivered a short-lived but historic return to the Bundesliga for Fortuna Düsseldorf, who were immediately relegated by finishing a devastating 17th, just one point from safety. The season, which marked their first back in the top flight after a fifteen-year absence following a dramatic promotion play-off win over Hertha BSC, saw the Flingeraner battle fiercely. Forward Dani Schahin led the attack as the club's top scorer with 8 crucial league goals, including a memorable two-goal debut against FC Augsburg. Despite the ultimate disappointment of the drop, the campaign remains a passionate, unforgettable chapter for the loyal fans who finally saw their club back among Germany's elite.
