Maximilian Mittelstädt, born on 18 March 1997 (age 29), is a German left-back at Stuttgart, where he wears squad number 7. His market value is around £15.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
The main stretch of his career came at Hertha BSC. Across eight seasons he made 145 league appearances and scored twice, the sort of service that makes the Berlin years the obvious reference point in his career. It was not a flashy record, but it was a substantial one.
At Stuttgart, he has added more attacking output. The 2025-26 season was his most productive in the league, with six goals in 32 appearances. For a left-back, that is a decent return rather than a rounding error.
In 2026-27 he has made four Bundesliga appearances and scored once, with one Champions League appearance taking his Stuttgart total for the season to five appearances and one goal in all competitions. He has also made one World Cup qualifying appearance for Germany this season.
Mittelstädt’s career is that of an established German left-back: long service at Hertha BSC, followed by a more productive attacking spell at Stuttgart.
