After making noise in the Jena youth ranks, [2] he made his debut in Germany's second-tier ProA with Science City Jena during the 2010–11 campaign. In 2012, he signed a 2-year deal with Basketball Bundesliga side Fraport Skyliners. [3] He extended his contract with the Skyliners for 2 more years in 2014. [4] In 2015, he made his first All-Star Game appearance. [5] In the 2015–16 season, Voigtmann won the FIBA Europe Cup championship with the Skyliners, after beating Openjobmetis Varese in the cup's final. [6]
In June 2016, Voigtmann signed with Baskonia of the Spanish top-flight Liga ACB. [7] In his EuroLeague debut with Baskonia, Voigtmann scored 12 points in an 85–84 win against Anadolu Efes. [8] In his first EuroLeague season, he averaged 10.1 points, 7 rebounds and 1.7 assists over 33 games. [9] In his first season with Baskonia in the Liga ACB, he averaged 7.8 points, 1.8 assists and 6 rebounds in 32 games. In the 2017–18 ACB season he played 33 games of Liga ACB, and averaged 7.8 points, 1.7 assists and 5.2 rebounds. In the 2018–19 ACB season, his last before moving to CSKA, he played 33 games, averaging 9.3 points (career high in Spain), 2.5 assists, and 5.6 rebounds. [9]
On 2 July 2019, CSKA Moscow announced that Voigtmann had signed a 2-year deal with the team with an option for a third year. [10] On 11 June 2021, said option was exercised by the Russian club, keeping Voigtmann in Moscow for another season.

"In the current situation, I can't reconcile myself playing for a Russian team. Even if it's just about basketball, it involves symbolism that I think is inappropriate at the moment. The Russian president is responsible for a brutal war, because of which innocent people are dying in Ukraine. Millions of people have to flee their homes, and children, in particular, are losing their homes or even their lives. I just couldn't stay in Russia and carry on as if nothing had happened...." [15]

[24] He grabbed 13 rebounds in Germany's loss to eventual bronze medalist Australia, in their third and last game of the group stage. [25]
