On 17 May 2022, Schwartau signed a three-year contract with Brøndby IF which tied him to the club until the summer 2025. He was officially promoted to the first team during 2022–23 pre-season and assigned the number 41 jersey.[3]

He made his professional debut on 17 July 2022 in the season opener of the Danish Superliga against AGF at the age of 16 years and 61 days.[4] In doing so, he became the youngest player in club history and also became the first player born in 2006 to make an appearance in the Danish Superliga.[5] On 14 August, he scored his first goal in a 2–0 win against OB becoming the club's youngest league goalscorer, and second-youngest overall in Danish Superliga.[6]

Norwich City

On 24 August 2024, English Championship club Norwich City signed Schwartau on a four-year deal with a club option of an extra year.[7] The fee was undisclosed, but reported to be £2 million with Brøndby retaining a 15% sell-on clause.[8] He scored his first goal for the club on 26 December 2024 against Millwall at Carrow Road.[9]
