Individual German Championship title three times.[2][3][4]

Career history

When

Bydgoszcz, Poland (as the Final Grand Prix), Wölbert was replaced by Pole Grzegorz Zengota.[6]

Due to having Polish roots through his grandmother, Wölbert expressed interest in Polish citizenship. He applied for citizenship in November 2009 in the

GTŻ Grudziądz, his Polish team.[7]

He started racing in the British leagues during the 2009 Premier League speedway season, when riding for the Edinburgh Monarchs. He made an immediate impression, averaging 8.87 and then 8.53 and 8.82 over the next two seasons with the Scottish club.[8] In 2012, he joined King's Lynn Stars and spent the 2013 season with the Belle Vue Aces.[4]

In 2014, he joined

Premier League Four-Team Championship, although he only rode in the semi finals and not the final.[9]

His final season in Britain was in 2016, although he did continue to ride in Poland and Denmark. In 2023, he was part of the German team that competed at the 2023 Speedway World Cup in Poland[10] and he also won his third Germany national title.[11]
