Early life

[1] He also played football, and auditioned for the youth team of FC St. Pauli. However, the club was far from his parents' home, which prevented him from taking the opportunity to move to St. Pauli.

Three years later, Hollatz moved to Spanish club Breogán, for the 2022–23 season. [7] During his lone season with the team he averaged 7.9 points, 2.1 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game. [8] In June 2023, Hollatz signed with Cedevita Olimpija for the 2023–24 season. [9] However, he was loaned for the season to Anadolu Efes. [10]

National team career

In February 2021, Hollatz made his debut with the senior Germany national team, in a EuroBasket 2022 qualifier against Great Britain.
