Club career
[edit]Wolter started playing soccer at Habenhauser FV in 2006, having previously played handball.[3] In 2011 she moved to the youth department of Werder Bremen, with whose C-Juniors she became North German Champion in 2012 and for the B-Juniors from the 2012–13 season in the newly founded Bundesliga North/Northeast was used. On March 23, 2014 (matchday 15) she made her debut for the women's team in the 2nd Bundesliga North in the 0–1 home defeat against 1. FC Lübars and scored on May 25, 2014 (matchday 21) in the 3 1–1 away win against FF USV Jena II, scoring their first goal in the final. In 2014–15 she was an integral part of the team and was used in 21 of 22 league games. As runners-up, she managed to get promoted to the Bundesliga with the team at the end of the season, since champions 1. FC Lübars decided against promotion. After the season, she was also voted Player of the Season by fans.[4] On August 30, 2015 (Day 1), she made her debut in a 6–2 win at home against co-promoted 1. FC Köln in the Bundesliga from the start.
For the 2018–19 season, Wolter switched to VfL Wolfsburg.[5]
International career
[edit]Wolter made her national debut in March 2015 in La Manga, Spain, when she made three appearances for the U19 national team as part of a "Three Nations Tournament". Four months later, she was part of Germany's 18-player squad for the U19 European Championship, appearing in all four games there, including three as a late substitute. In the semi-final against Sweden, she was in the starting XI, but lost to the eventual European Champions on penalties.
She was first called up to the senior national team for a game against England that was set to take place on October 27, 2020.[6] However, the game was canceled by the English association on October 25 because a member of the coaching staff tested positive for the coronavirus.[7] She made her senior international debut on 1 December 2020 in Dublin in the final Group I European Championship qualifier in a 3–1 win over the Ireland national team.
Wolter made her international debut for Germany on 1 December 2020, coming on as a substitute in the 61st minute for Kathrin Hendrich against the Republic of Ireland. The away match finished as a 3–1 win for Germany.[8]
