At the 2005 World Water Polo Championships , the German team with Marc Politze finished 9th, in 2007 the team came 8th in 2003 and in 2008 the team was sixth at the European Championships.

In April 2005 Tobias Kreuzmann tested positive in a doping test. He had been using a hair restorer since 2004 that contained the active ingredient finasteride , which was placed on the list of prohibited substances as a masking agent on January 1, 2005 . In June 2005, the DSV Kreuzmann acquitted of all doping allegations after Kreuzmann's statements were believed. An additional analysis at the Sports University in Cologne found no steroid substances that could have been masked with finasteride.

In the 2014/15 and 2015/16 seasons, Kreuzmann played for SV Krefeld 72 in the B group of the German water polo Bundesliga. For the 2016/17 season, at the age of 35, he moved to SC Kreuzlingen in Switzerland.
