Stefan Schimmer

Stefan Schimmer is a German forward born in Wertingen on 28 April 1994. He developed with TSV Wertingen before joining FC Gundelfingen, where he played in the sixth tier from 2013 to 2016. His performances during Gundelfingen’s 2015–16 promotion campaign earned him a move to FC Memmingen in 2016, and he scored 26 goals in 34 Regionalliga Bayern appearances. Schimmer then stepped up to SpVgg Unterhaching, scoring 19 goals across two seasons in the 3. Liga. In August 2019, 1. FC Heidenheim signed him for their 2. Bundesliga squad, continuing his rise through Germany’s football pyramid. At Heidenheim, Schimmer has chiefly provided a late attacking option, using his physical presence, penalty-box positioning and willingness to press to influence matches after entering from the bench.
