Street cleaner in Berlin.
An honorable and exhausting job, no question about it.
But unusual for a formerly highly praised talent in German football.
“I work as a street sweeper at BSR Stadtreinigung.
I earn 1100 and crushed net, I have 1200 hours a year that I have to work, "said the 29-year-old in an Instagram story to his almost 14,000 followers on Thursday:" If I'm good, I can be taken over.
If I'm shit, then I don't. "
Pannewitz was once considered a great talent at Hansa Rostock in the second division and was a professional in the Bundesliga squad at VfL Wolfsburg under Felix Magath in 2012.

Midfielder Pannewitz had even made it back to the 3rd division at Carl Zeiss Jena in 2018.
Most recently he played at FC Amed in Berlin in the 9th division.
“I'm fat, but it's still enough for the district league,” he said bluntly to the “11Freunde” magazine last year.
In 2020, Pannewitz won 50,000 euros as the winner of the RTL program “Kampf der Realitystars”. In order to make ends meet financially, he had already worked for the city cleaning department from 2015, and he also gained several years of experience as a furniture maker.
