Christian Schulz (born 1 April 1983) is a German former professional footballer who played as a centre back or left-back.

Club career

[edit]

Schulz joined Werder Bremen in 1995 at the age of twelve and stepped up to the reserve side, playing in the Regionalliga Nord in 2001–02. He made his Bundesliga debut on 15 February 2003 as a substitute against 1. FC Nürnberg. When Ümit Davala was injured, Schulz stepped in and made the left-back position his own. With Bremen he won the 2004 German football championship.

Although he had previously stated that he did not want to leave Bremen, he moved to Hannover 96 on 30 August 2007. After nine years with Hannover, he joined SK Sturm Graz. With Graz he won the 2017–18 Austrian Cup.[1]

Schulz retired at the end of the 2020–21 season.[2] Overall he played more than 400 matches in the German and Austrian top-flight respectively.[3]

International career

Schulz earned four caps for the Germany national team, making his international debut on 16 December 2004 in a 3–0 friendly win over Japan. [4] He was part of the DFB squad of the 2005 FIFA Confederations Cup on home soil but didn't take part in the tournament because of an injury.
