After 26 games in the regional league, Schmelzer was appointed to the BVB Bundesliga team by the new BVB coach Jürgen Klopp in summer 2008 . There he made his competitive debut on August 9, 2008 in the DFB Cup at Rot-Weiss Essen (3: 1). The defender played his first Bundesliga game seven days later at Bayer 04 Leverkusen (3-2). In the 2009/10 season he was able to oust Dedê from the left-back position and became a regular player. In February 2011 Schmelzer extended his contract prematurely until June 30, 2014 and became German champions and cup winners with the team . In the 79th Bundesliga game for BVB, he scored his first Bundesliga goal on October 22, 2011 (10th matchday) in a 5-0 home win over 1.

In the following two years Schmelzer was repeatedly out due to injuries, but kept his regular place and won the DFL Supercup twice in a row with the team .

After Mats Hummels ' move, the defender was the successor to the captain of his team under head coach Thomas Tuchel , Peter Bosz and Peter Stöger from August 2016 to May 2018 and during this period he made 66 competitive appearances in which he scored two goals and five assists. In the meantime, Schmelzer's contract has been extended to June 2021. In the spring of 2017, he won his second cup with Dortmund, when he was the fourth captain of Borussia to receive the cup. After his resignation from the captaincy, Schmelzer was inherited by Marco Reus and, under the new head coach Lucien Favre , lost his regular place to the newcomer Achraf Hakimi after a hip injury . Subsequently, after Hakimi's move to the right, Abdou Diallo , Manuel Akanji and the more offensive Raphaël Guerreiro were preferred to him. This prompted him to search for a club during the summer break, but the longest-serving player by far did not receive approval from BVB.
