Patrick Herrmann

Born in Saarbrücken, Herrmann began playing football at FC Uchtelfangen based in nearby Illingen. At the age of 13 he joined 1. FC Saarbrücken, before transferring to Borussia Mönchengladbach in the summer of 2008. On 16 January 2010, Herrmann made his first team debut, appearing as a substitute in a Bundesliga match against VfL Bochum. Gladbach scored less than a minute later, with Herrmann providing the assist for fellow debutant Fabian Bäcker, but went on to lose the match 2–1. Herrmann appeared 13 times in the second half of the 2009–10 season, and was rewarded with a new contract, keeping him at the club until 2014. On 1 April 2015, he signed a contract to 2019. In May 2019, Herrmann further extended his contract until 2022. On 25 April 2024, Herrmann announced that he would retire at the end of the season, with teammate Tony Jantschke also later announcing his retirement from football.

Herrmann had represented Germany on the U16s and U21 teams. On 24 March 2013, he was called up for the senior national team for the first time, for a 2014 World Cup qualifier against Kazakhstan. Herrmann made his debut on 10 June 2015 at the RheinEnergieStadion in Cologne, starting the match and assisting Mario Götze's opener in an eventual 1–2 friendly defeat to the United States.
