Club career

= 1. FC Kaiserslautern=

Fromlowitz advanced through the youth ranks of 1. FC Kaiserslautern, signing his first professional contract with the club in the summer of 2004. He made his Bundesliga debut on 25 February 2006 against 1. FSV Mainz 05, coming on as a substitute for the injured Jürgen Macho, and kept his place between the sticks for the remainder of the season, at the end of which the club were relegated. He was again replaced by Macho for the 2006–07 season, in which he did not make any appearances in the 2. Bundesliga. In August 2007, he was chosen by the club's new manager, Kjetil Rekdal, as Kaiserslautern's first-choice goalkeeper for the 2007–08 season, prompting Macho to leave the club during the month. However, he sustained an injury after 10 league matches and did not play again during the season.
