career

Dölger came to the Braunschweig Lions from the Wolfsburg Blue Wings in the run-up to the 1995 season .

From 2005 Dölger was part of the Braunschweig team again and stayed with them until 2008. During this time he won another title with the Lower Saxony: German Champion 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008. In 2008 he was named Sportsman of the Year by the city of Braunschweig  .

In 2014 he was inducted into the club's hall of fame .

Dölger played in the shirt of the German national team at the 2007 World Cup, where he achieved third place with the selection.
