Career

Oelschlägel began his career in 2001 at Dynamo Dresden. From 2006 to 2008 he played for SG Dresden Striesen, before returning to Dynamo. In 2012, he joined the youth system of Werder Bremen. In the 2014–15 season Oelschlägel moved to the second team, who at that time played in the Regionalliga Nord making his debut on 16 November 2014 debut in a 4–0 away win against FT Braunschweig.[2] In 2015, he celebrated promotion to the 3. Liga with the second team.[3]

After Oelschlägel went to the first team's training camp in Neuruppin in July 2015,[4] he signed a professional contract with Bremen in January 2016 which lasts until 30 June 2018.[5] With multiple goalkeepers injured, Oelschlägel was Felix Wiedwald's backup in the first team's match against Schalke on 24 January 2016.[6] Having suffered an injury early in the first half of the 2015–16 season[7] he played most second-team matches in the second half of the season.[8]

On 20 June 2018, Oelschlägel signed for Borussia Dortmund on a one-year deal from Werder Bremen for an undisclosed fee as third choice keeper, playing for Borussia Dortmund second team in the Regionalliga West.

International career

Oelschlägel was selected as an alternate player in the German Olympic team's squad for the football tournament at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.[9] He remained inactive until the gold medal match, when manager Horst Hrubesch called him up in place of midfielder Leon Goretzka, who was injured in the team's opening match of the tournament.[10][11][12] Though he was not used in the match, he earned a silver medal after Germany lost to Brazil in a penalty shoot-out.[13]
