Zeitz received a silver medal at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens with the German national team.[2] He is World Champion from 2007, and European champion from 2004.

Career

[edit | edit source]

Zeitz began playing handball aged 6 with his two older brothers.[4] At 18 he became a part of the first team at TSV Östringen in the 2. Bundesliga. When the tem fused with TSG Kronau to SG Kronau-Östringen, he followed. With the club he was promoted to the 1st Bundesliga.

He then joined THW Kiel, where he won the German Championship 9 times, the DHB-Pokal 6 times and the EHF Champions League 3 times.[5]

He then joined Hungarian MKB-MVM Veszprém.[6] Here he won the Hungarian double two teams and the Hungarian Super Cup three times.

From the 2016-17 season he returned to THW Kiel,[7] where he once again won the DHB-Pokal. On 16 February 2018 he was suspended from the club due to disagreements on the exact lengths of his contract.[8] In court the parts agreed to terminate the contract at the end of the season.[9] The club also had to pay Zeitz 75.000 euroes. Afterwards the club faced criticism from its fans, when they removed his portrait from the club history gallery.[10][11]

At the end of the affair he joined SG Nußloch in the 3. Liga.[12] In February 2020 after the bankruptcy of SG Nußloch, he returned to the Bundesliga to join TVB 1898 Stuttgart for the rest of the season.[13] The following season he joined GWD Minden.[14] In November 2022 he announced his retirement.[15]
