He made his debut on 26 July 2014 in 1-2 win over 1. FSV Mainz 05 II. Schwolow made his first appearance in a non-league game in a 4-1 win over SV Sandhausen in a DFB-Pokal match on 17 August 2014.

Return to Freiburg

On 1 July 2015, SC Freiburg recalled Schwolow after one season on loan at Arminia Bielefeld,[2] due to their lack of goalkeeping options, due to the sale of Roman Bürki to Borussia Dortmund.
