His career started with SD Düren 99. From 1953 to 1966 he played for [[1.

==Career==
Stollenwerk began his international career in 1951 playing as an [[inside right]] linkman. He proved to be a versatile player, being used in every position, including [[Goalkeeper (association football)|goalkeeper]]. During the [[1958 FIFA World Cup]], Stollenwerk was chosen to replace [[Fritz Herkenrath]] in the goal in case he got injured (with no substitutions being allowed).<ref name="Bitter p.474">Bitter, Jürgen. ''Deutschlands Fußball Nationalspieler'', Sportverlag, 1997, p. 474.</ref> His main position, however, was that of an [[inside forward]]. This changed in 1957, when [[1. FC Köln]] coach [[Hennes Weisweiler]] converted Stollenwerk to [[right back]]. This proved to be a good career move for him, as he felt at home in that role immediately and played convincingly enough to be called up again for international duty by [[Sepp Herberger]]. Previously, as an inside forward, he was only sporadically used by Herberger; however, at the [[right back]] position Herberger was looking for a fitting successor to [[Jupp Posipal]], who had quit his international career in 1956. By 1958, Stollenwerk had become the standard [[right back]] of [[West Germany national football team|West Germany]], allowing [[Herbert Erhardt]] to play as [[centre half]] instead of [[fullback (association football)|full back]]. Stollenwerk played in every German game at the [[1958 FIFA World Cup]] and won 23 caps in total.<ref>{{Cite web | url = https://www.rsssf.org/miscellaneous/stollenwerk-intl.html | title = Georg Stollenwerk&nbsp;— International Appearances | first = Matthias | last = Arnhold | date = 13 October 2016 | access-date = 17 October 2016 | publisher = [[Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation|RSSSF]]}}</ref>

Stollenwerk retired from football in 1962, after winning the [[German football championship]] with 1. FC Köln. Later on he was a trainer for [[Alemannia Aachen]], [[TuS Langerwehe]] and 1. FC Köln.
