Benedikt Höwedes (born February 29, 1988 in Haltern) is a German footballer who plays for Schalke 04 in the Bundesliga.

Career

Höwedes started playing football in youth teams of his hometown club "TuS Haltern". After one year with "SG Herten-Langenbochum" he joined Schalke 04 in 2001. In 2005 he became captain of Schalke's Under-19 team, and as a member of that team he won the 2006 German youth championship. In January 2007, he signed a professional contract, which is valid until the end of the 2009/10 season, and joined Schalke's Bundesliga squad in July. Until October of this year, however, he only played for Schalke's second team in the Oberliga (4th division).

Höwedes' first professional match was in the Champions League on October 3, 2007. Without having had any appearance in the Bundesliga he was in the starting lineup for Schalke's away match at Rosenborg BK after regular left back Christian Pander had been injured.
