'''Marko Rehmer''' (born 29 April 1972) is a German former professional [[Association football|footballer]] who played mainly as a [[right-back]].

== Club career ==
Rehmer was born in [[East Berlin]]. In his youth he played for hometown [[1. FC Union Berlin]]; he arrived in the [[Bundesliga|first division]] at almost 25, joining former [[East Germany]]'s [[FC Hansa Rostock|Hansa Rostock]] during the 1997 winter transfer window.<ref>{{Cite web | url = https://www.rsssf.org/players/rehmerdata.html | title = Marko Rehmer - Matches and Goals in Bundesliga | first = Matthias | last = Arnhold | date = 12 November 2015 | accessdate = 19 November 2015 | publisher = Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation}}</ref> He was crucial for the side during his two half-seasons spell, as it always maintained its top level status.

For the following six years, Rehmer played with another club from his city, [[Hertha BSC]]; being an important defensive unit as the side always made the [[UEFA Europa League|UEFA Cup]] in the first four seasons, he was also grossly undermined by several injuries.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/news/0189-0e6a48564cc7-b3f896a65cb2-1000--simunic-faces-spell-on-sidelines/ | title = Simunic faces spell on sidelines | publisher = [[UEFA]] | date = 2 September 2002 | access-date = 26 January 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/news/018b-0e6a51fe012d-8df56e176224-1000--advantage-hertha-after-away-win/ | title = Advantage Hertha after away win | publisher = [[UEFA]] | date = 7 November 2002 | access-date = 26 January 2013}}</ref>

In 2005, Rehmer moved to [[Eintracht Frankfurt]]. Following more injuries,<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/news/01ba-0ea88167ea17-e25769415aae-1000--rehmer-ruled-out-with-muscle-tear/ | title = Rehmer ruled out with muscle tear | publisher = [[UEFA]] | date = 23 October 2006 | access-date = 26 January 2013}}</ref> he was forced to retire at the end of [[2006–07 Bundesliga|2006–07]], after helping with 12 matches in the team's final escape from relegation.

== International career ==
Rehmer got 35 caps for [[Germany national football team|Germany]] during five years, scoring four times.<ref>{{Cite web | url = https://www.rsssf.org/miscellaneous/rehmer-intl.html | title = Marko Rehmer - International Appearances | first = Matthias | last = Arnhold | date = 12 November 2015 | accessdate = 19 November 2015 | publisher = Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation}}</ref> His debut came on 2 September 1998, in a 2–1 friendly win in [[Malta national football team|Malta]].

His best years were 2000–01, as he played in 20 internationals, including twice at [[UEFA Euro 2000]], where the national side – [[UEFA Euro 1996|the holders]] – were ousted in the group stages; he was also summoned to the [[2002 FIFA World Cup]], getting a runners-up medal with his 45 minutes against [[Paraguay national football team|Paraguay]], in the [[round of 16]] (1–0).
