Beginnings

Andreas Lambertz played football for SG Orken / Noithausen from 1990 . He later went to Bayer Dormagen . After the stations TSV Norf , Borussia Mönchengladbach and VfR Neuss , he finally switched to the offspring of Fortuna Düsseldorf in 2002 .

With Fortuna between 4th and 1st league

In the following 2003/04 season, Lambertz was appointed to the first team that played in the fourth-class Oberliga Nordrhein . During this season he was promoted to the Regionalliga Nord , in which Lambertz was a regular. He was able to maintain this position in the following years.

In 2005 Lambertz took part in the Match Against Poverty " Zidane & Friends - Ronaldo & Friends" in the Düsseldorf LTU arena and played alongside the world stars.

In the 2007/08 season Lambertz qualified with Fortuna for the newly founded single-track 3rd division . At the end of the season she took second place, which was tantamount to marching through to the 2nd Bundesliga . In the first two years (4th and 7th place) the class could be held. Fortuna Düsseldorf ended the 2011/12 season after a fight with FC St. Pauli and SC Paderborn 07 in 3rd place, which entitled them to relegation against Hertha BSC . After the two relegation games (2: 1 in Berlin, 2: 2 in Düsseldorf), Fortuna rose to the Bundesliga . Besides Dominik Kaiser, Lambertz is the only player from the fourth-highest division (then: Oberliga ) who made it through to the Bundesliga with the same team and scored at least one goal in each league.

At the relegation second leg in Düsseldorf on May 15, 2012, Lambertz was seen with a Bengali fire in his hands after the game . A spokesman for Fortuna said that Lambertz wanted to remove the Bengalo from a fan and delete it. The DFB determined against Lambertz and banned him for the first two games of the 2012/13 season . Lambertz accepted the sentence and the verdict was final.

On March 9, 2013 (25th matchday), Lambertz scored his first Bundesliga goal in a 3-2 defeat in the away game against FC Bayern Munich in the 71st minute with the goal to lead them 2-1. This made him the first player in Germany to score goals for the same club at four different league levels.

Dynamo Dresden

At the end of the 2014/15 season he left Fortuna Düsseldorf and moved to the third division Dynamo Dresden, from whom Lambertz had been offered a two-year contract. On July 25, 2015 he played his first competitive game for Dynamo, which Dynamo won 4-1 against VfB Stuttgart II . At the end of the 2015/16 season Lambertz became champions of the 3rd division with Dynamo Dresden and was promoted to the 2nd Bundesliga.

Return to Düsseldorf

For the season 2018/19 returned Lambertz back to Fortuna Dusseldorf. He was a leading player in the squad of the second team (U23), which played in the fourth-class Regionalliga West . He made 11 regional league appearances (9 times from the start). In the 2019/20 season , Lambertz only came on for one substitute. After the season he ended his career at the age of 35.
