Gollwitzer, the eldest son of architect Hans and gym teacher Lisbeth, was born in Deggendorf, West Germany. He began playing tennis aged eight and turned professional in 1991. As a qualifier at the 1992 CA-TennisTrophy in Vienna he made it to the quarter-finals, in a run which included a win over world number 26 Andrei Cherkasov.[1] He also reached the quarter-finals at Bolzano in 1993 as a qualifier and overcame fourth seed Arnaud Boetsch en route, who retired hurt with the German close to victory. Other ATP Tour main draw appearances include two top-tier tournaments. At Monte Carlo in 1994 he lost in the opening round to Stefan Edberg and he also played in the first round at Hamburg.[2]
