The 28-year-old from Erfurt made the breakthrough with his local club, FC Rot-Weiß, before moving to 1. FC Nürnberg in 2015. Möhwald played 93 times for the club and scored 12 goals, assisting 24.

In 51 Bundesliga appearance, Möhwald has got himself on the scoresheet eight times.

"I'm happy to continue playing in the Bundesliga. Union is an exceptional club that has shown in recent years how much potential it has.

We are looking forward to a player who knows the Bundesliga and will integrate quickly," said Oliver Ruhnert, 1. FC Union Berlin's Managing Director for Professional Football.
