Timon Moritz Weiner (born 18 January 1999) is a German professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for 2. Bundesliga club Holstein Kiel. He is a former Germany youth international.

Club career

Youth career

Weiner was born in Essen. From 2013 to 2018 he played for youth sides of Schalke 04. In the 2017–18 season he featured in the final of the Under 19 Bundesliga which Schalke 04 lost 3–1 against Hertha BSC.

Holstein Kiel

In summer 2018, having not been given a professional contract at Schalke 04, Weiner joined 2. Bundesliga club Holstein Kiel. At Holstein Kiel he was the first team's third- or fourth-choice goalkeeper and played for the club's reserves in the 2018–19, 2019–20, 2021–22 and 2022–23 seasons. He spent the 2020–21 season on loan at 1. FC Magdeburg in the 3. Liga without making an appearance.

Weiner made his debut in the 2. Bundesliga on the last matchday of the 2022–23 season, in a 5–1 win against Hannover 96. Following good performances in pre-season and in the DFB-Pokal and after first-choice keeper Thomas Dähne had made mistakes, Weiner played his second 2. Bundesliga match and his first of the 2023–24 season on 25 August 2023, against former club Schalke 04. Holstein Kiel won 2–0 at Schalke 04's stadium.

At the end of the 2024–25 season, Weiner lost his place as first-choice goalkeeper to Thomas Dähne. At the beginning of the following season, after Dähne had left the club, new signing Jonas Krumrey took over. Weiner returned to the starting place in late February 2026, upon the arrival of new manager Tim Walter.

International career

Weiner represented Germany internationally at youth levels U15, U16, U17, U18, and U20.
