Later in 2007, Wende teamed up with Russian skaterEkaterina Vasilieva. They won the bronze medal at the German Championships before deciding to split.

On January 26, during the morning practice before the long programs, Wende collided withMari Vartmann while they were attempting to avoid a French pair.[4]
Hausch/Wende's training for 2012–13 season began late due to death and illness in their families;[5][6] as a result, they withdrew from the2012 Cup of Russia.[7] Wende experienced aspinal disc herniation in autumn 2012.[5] The pair withdrew from the2013 German Championships. They were named in the German team to the2013 European Championships but withdrew as well due to his back problem.[8] Wende was diagnosed with a second herniated disc in January 2013.[5]
