During his time in Bremen's U17s, Woltemade impressed with 18 goals and eight assists in just 24 games in the U17 Bundesliga, earning comparisons to Thomas Muller for his intelligent movement.
When he made his Bundesliga debut in February 2020, aged 17, he became Werder's youngest-ever top-flight player.
However, Woltemade's senior breakthrough was not immediate. Limited minutes and the club's battle against relegation slowed his progress, and a loan spell to SV Elversberg in the German third tier was arranged in 2022. This move proved transformative, as he scored 10 goals in 31 appearances and helped Elversberg secure promotion to the 2. Bundesliga.
After his successful loan spell at Elversberg, Woltemade returned to Werder Bremen for the 2023/24 season. He finally earned regular minutes, making 30 Bundesliga appearances.
While Bremen's season was solid, Woltemade's performances stood out, catching the attention of several bigger clubs. Werder hoped to extend his contract, but the striker sought a new environment that matched his growing ambitions.
That opportunity came from VfB Stuttgart, a team on the rise under coach Sebastian Hoeness. In the summer of 2024, Woltemade made the move and it transformed both player and club. Within months, he became central to Hoeness' dynamic system, thriving as a multi-functional forward: part creator, part finisher.
The numbers told their own story - 17 goals and several assists across all competitions, capped by a crucial strike in Stuttgart's DFB-Pokal final triumph.
