Early life

Hollatz was born on 21 April 2001, in the Langenbek district of Hamburg. His basketball journey began through a working group at the Marmstorf elementary school, where he played with his two older brothers Joshua and Jacob on the youth team of BG Harburg Hittfeld. [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. Since he preferred basketball, Hollatz ultimately gave up football. [2]

In November 2015, Hollatz made his debut with the youth team of Harburg Hittfeld. [3] Prior to the 2017–18 season, Hollatz moved to club SC Rist Wedel. [4]

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]

In January 2025, following his stint with Anadolu Efes, Hollatz signed a three-year contract with German club Bayern Munich. [11]

National team career

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