Of German heritage, Neustädter played for Germany at various youth levels, then being capped twice by the Germany national team in 2012 and 2013. He switched allegiance to Russia in 2016.[2] Apart from Germany and Russia, Neustädter was also eligible for Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Ukraine.

Personal life

[edit]

Neustädter's mother is ethnic Russian. Neustädter's ancestors in the paternal line were ethnic Germans who lived on territories of Russian Empire and later, USSR. Following World War II, ethnic Germans were deported by the Soviet government. Neustädter's family was forcibly relocated into Central Asia. His father is Peter Neustädter, a former Kyrgyz-born Kazakhstani footballer for Mainz 05 and former manager of Mainz 05 II.[5] He was born in Dnipropetrovsk, Ukrainian SSR, while his father was playing for Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk.[6] He was raised by his mother and grandparents in Kyrgyzstan, while his father was still an active football player.[7] Due to his heritage and birth, he was eligible to represent Germany, Ukraine, Russia, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan in international competitions.

On 30 May 2016, Neustädter was granted Russian citizenship, having received his new Russian passport at the Russian Consulate in Bonn.[8]

Club career

[edit]

Neustädter began his career in Mainz 05's youth team, before being promoted to Mainz 05 II in July 2006.[9] After playing in Mainz's first team during the 2008–09 season, he signed a three-year contract with Borussia Mönchengladbach.[10] With die Fohlen, Neustädter enjoyed a particularly successful 2011–12 season, finishing fourth and qualifying for the 2012–13 UEFA Champions League.

At the end of the 2011–12 season, Neustädter left Mönchengladbach and joined Schalke 04 on a free transfer, signing a four-year contract running until 30 June 2016.[11]

In July 2016, after turning down a new contract at Schalke, Neustädter signed a three-year deal at Fenerbahçe of Turkey.[12]

On 9 August 2019, he signed a one-year contract with Russian club Dynamo Moscow.[13] On 15 October 2020, after the first 10 games of the 2020–21 Russian Premier League were played, he returned to Dynamo until the end of the season.[14]

Neustädter played twice for Germany U-20, making his debut as a substitute against Italy U-20 on 9 April 2008.[15] He scored a goal against Switzerland U-20 on 22 April 2008.[16]

The Football Federation of Ukraine has expressed interest in calling up Neustädter for their national team. Neustädter, who was born in Ukrainian SSR, has indicated that he would be likely to accept a call-up if asked. He would first require to obtain a Ukrainian passport in order to be eligible for national team duties.[17]

On 9 November 2012, Neustädter was called up for the Germany squad to face the Netherlands in a friendly match five days later.[18][19] He made his debut for Germany in this match as a late substitute for Schalke team-mate Lewis Holtby.
