Club career
Schmelzer was born in Magdeburg, Saxony-Anhalt. He began his career with Borussia Dortmund, making his first appearance in the German Cup first-round match against Rot-Weiss Essen on August 9, 2008. He made his first league appearance at Bayer Leverkusen this week, in the final 20 minutes of a 3–2 victory. Schmelzer had his best season for Borussia Dortmund in the 2010-2011 season, where he played every minute of the season for the team that went on to win the Bundesliga for the first time.
Schmelzer, who missed the start of the Bundesliga due to injury, collected yet another trophy as he helped Dortmund win another Bundesliga title. Schmelzer helped Dortmund win the DFB Pokal by 5–2 victory over Bayern Munich, making it three titles in two years.
Schmelzer continued his employment with Borussia until January 11, 2013, which will keep him at the club until 2017.
Schmelzer defeated Bayern Munich 4–2 on July 27, 2013 in the 2013 DFL-Supercup.
Marcel Schmelzer's deal with BVB has been extended yet again on April 25, 2016. He has agreed to a five-year contract, which will keep him with the black and yellows until 2021.
Schmelzer was selected to be the next captain after Mats Hummels' resignation. Schmelzer captained his first match against league champions Bayern Munich in the DFL-Supercup's 2–0 loss.
In a 6–1 victory over Paderborn on May 31, 2020, he scored his first Bundesliga goal in seven years, coming off the bench for Moroccan right-back Achraf Hakimi. Fans voted him Man of the Match on the club's official Instagram account later that day. Despite missing virtually the entire 2020–21 season and Dortmund's DFB-Pokal triumph, Schmelzer extended his deal with Dortmund for another year in summer 2021, but this was mostly to pay medical insurance pertaining to a long-term knee injury rather than game time.
He retired after 17 seasons as a Borussia Dortmund player and was honoured after their match against Hertha BSC. He appeared in 258 German top-flight matches.
International career
Schmelzer was called up by the U21 team for the 2009 European Championship, but not as a starter, he played the final five minutes against England, a 4–0 triumph over England. He made 16 appearances on the full national team between 2010 and 2014.
