JensJeremies (born March 5, 1974) is a German footballer.
Jeremies was born in Görlitz, German Democratic Republic.
He was later reinstated in the national squad and played in the 2002 World Cup, but retired from international football after Germany's exit from Euro 2004 to focus on his club duties with Bayern München.
Jeremies earned his first cap in a friendly against South Africa in November 1997 and was a regular with Munich 1860 before joining East German greats Dynamo Dresden and then Bayern Munich last season.
Jeremies plays from the heart and his distinctive style has earned him the reputation of being one of the most consistent players in the Bundesliga.
The tenacious midfielder is also a wonderful passer of the ball and, such is his popularity in Germany, he is tipped to succeed Lothar Matthaus in the sweeper role if he can ever persuade him to retire from the international game.

An influential holding player who can quickly turn defence into attack, JensJeremies is never far away from the thick of the action.
Jeremies lost his starting place during UEFA EURO 2004™ qualifying, and in Portugal played only the final four minutes against the Czech Republic.
Born in 1974, his Bundesliga career began with FC Dynamo Dresden and he was associated with the club through German reunification between 1986 and 1995, when he moved to TSV 1860 München.
BERLIN, Germany -- Germany midfielder JensJeremies has announced that he is retiring from internationals after his country's unsuccessful Euro 2004 campaign.
Jeremies, 30, said he felt it was time to give other players a chance in the German side, but stressed he still wanted success at Bayern in the two years left on his contract.
Jeremies' greatest success at international level was reaching the 2002 World Cup final.
Owen has been outstanding this season especially yesterday by not giving zidane a single chance and jeremies came on the 89th min and made two bad passes that could have set a counter attack, I like jeremies and he is a hardworking midfielder but compared to hargreaves, Owen is better
I also admire Jeremies for his hardwork, but he came on in like 89th minute and we also got one more goal after his bad passes..
jeremies is fat, and out of form i think bayern should let him go, at least he'd play in any other bundesliga team.....

Jeremies was a virtual unknown until the 1997-98 season when his outstanding form for 1860 Munich caught many an eye.
He quickly became one of the most sought-after players in the Bundesliga and the chase for his signature, involving many of the top European clubs, was on.
He is the kind of experienced campaigner Voller is likely to turn to in the heat of tournament football but is nevertheless another key Germany player with a little to prove this summer.
Coach Erich Ribbeck may have had a run-in with JensJeremies, on whom he slapped a one-match suspension for criticising him, before the event, but no real controversy has so far been evident at its base in Vaals, Netherlands near the German border.
Injured players Lothar Matthaeus and JensJeremies will almost certainly play, coach Erich Ribbeck said, which is a major boost to the team.
The 39-year-old Matthaeus and tough midfielder Jeremies are key players in the defence of Germany's European title which it won four years ago in England with a 2-1 final victory over Czech Republic.

Deswegen gibt es von meiner Seite aus nichts zu bereuen“, sagte Jeremies rückblickend.
Jeremies wird künftig aus der Loge in der Allianz Arena aus die Spiele des FC Bayern und seines Ex-Vereins TSV 1860 München verfolgen können.

Today in our rubric "More goal keepers you can eat while a really cold and hard winter": Arsenal London's Jens Lehmann.
So he made it within the last second to become Germany's No One for the World Championship.
An industrious midfielder who reads the game well, Jeremies is used as a central midfielder for his country but has slotted into Lothar Matthaus' sweeper/libero role at club level.
Has scored two own goals for Bundesliga champions Bayern this season, including one in the Champions League semi-final defeat against Real Madrid, but has been otherwise exceptional.
