Born in Vilgertshofen, Schrötter started out in the German 125cc National Championship in 2007 and finished fifth in his debut campaign, before he took back-to-back titles in 2008 and 2009. In the 2008 season the youngster made his World Championship debut as a wildcard rider at Sachsenring, before three further rides in 2009 with a highly impressive fifth place in the final round of the season at Valencia. His full debut in 2010 with the Interwetten Honda 125 Team provided a steep learning curve and in 2011 Schrötter aimed for further progress with Mahindra.
