On 31 August 2015, he joined Werder Bremen for a transfer fee of £5 million and had a brief spell with the German club.

His exploit at werder Bremen that season promoted why Bayern Munich opted to sign him in 2017 for a record fee of €8 Million but was loaned to 1899 Hoffenheim. Serge Gnabry came back as a Bayern player on 2 July 2018 and subsequently won the champion league with Bayern Munich in 2020.
