On 10 May 2019, VfB Stuttgart announced the signing of Klimowicz ahead of the 2019–20 season; with the midfielder signing a five-year contract.[7] He made his bow as a late substitute in a 2.

On 15 March 2021, Klimowicz was called up for the 2021 UEFA European Under-21 Championship group stages by Germany; he holds a German passport due to his father's career in German football.[10][13] He debuted with the German U21 team in a 3–0 win over the Hungary U21 on 25 March 2021.[14]
