Woltemade began his career at TS Woltmershausen, a multi-sport club in Bremen, where he initially played handball in addition to football.

Woltemade scored two and three goals respectively on three occasions, but despite this, the team only finished fifth in the Northern/North-Eastern division. In the 2019–20 campaign, the striker once again demonstrated his class, scoring regularly for the Under-19s.
