Goalkeeper Talent Olschowsky: Shock premiere in Aachen!

Jan Olschowsky, 23-year-old goalkeeper of Borussia Mönchengladbach, gave his premiere for Alemannia Aachen last Sunday. He was borrowed from the third division teams in early January 2025 until the end of the season to develop a higher game practice there. Olschowsky prevailed in preparation against his teammate Marcel Johnen and was in goal at the season opener of the 3rd league against RW Essen (2-0) in front of 31,580 spectators.

During the game, Olschowsky proved to be able to prevent Essen's attacker Arslan early behind in the 19th minute. However, his premiere in Aachen had to end early: shortly before half -time, he injured himself in a collision with Rios Alonso and was treated. In the second half, he was replaced by Johnen after Olschowsky was diagnosed with a concussion.

The move to Aachen

Roland Virkus, Managing Director of Borussia Mönchengladbach, emphasized that the club was interested in loan to offer Olschowsky at a high level of play practice. The goalkeeper himself was positive about the change and the opportunity to play for Alemannia Aachen. Olschowsky has a contract with Borussia Mönchengladbach until 2027, which gives his career additional stability.

This loan could be crucial for Olschowsky's future career, especially since captain Jonas Omlin may be leaving the club after this season. Olschowsky could therefore position himself as a new challenger in the Bundesliga, which could further drive his development as a player.

professional contract and development

Olschowsky, who was 18 when Borussia Mönchengladbach offered him a professional contract, has continuously worked on his performance since then. He played 18 games for the Gladbach reserve in the Regionalliga West last season. Max Eberl, the former sports director of Borussia Mönchengladbach, was positive about Olschowsky's development and his talent. The new challenge at Alemannia Aachen is now the hope of a quick recovery and fertile time in the 3rd division.

The next few weeks will be crucial to see how Olschowsky recovers the injury and whether he can continue to establish himself as a key player for Aachen. The experience he gains there could have a significant impact on his role at Borussia Mönchengladbach.
