Marcel Lotka, born on 25 May 2001 (age 25), is a Polish goalkeeper with Energie Cottbus. An imposing 6ft 3in (1.90m), he wears the number 1 shirt and is valued at around £1m by Transfermarkt.
His first notable senior league run came at Hertha BSC in 2021-22, when he made 10 league appearances. That gave him early exposure, but it is Borussia Dortmund II that has shaped most of his career so far.
Across three seasons with Dortmund’s second side, Lotka made 84 league appearances. For a goalkeeper still building his senior profile, that was the sustained spell: regular football, week after week, away from the noise of the first team but not far from the demands of a large club structure.
He is now with Energie Cottbus, where he has made six 2. Bundesliga appearances in 2026-27. His career to this point is that of a developing goalkeeper whose strongest body of work remains his substantial run at Borussia Dortmund II.
