==Career== ===Juniors=== Muskatewitz started playing curling in 2003,<ref>[https://www.team-baumann.com/team/daniel-1/ Team Baumann - Marc Muskatewitz]{{in lang|de}}</ref> where he had a successful junior career, where he skipped the German junior men's curling team at two [[European Junior Curling Challenge]] events, and later at two [[World Junior B Curling Championships]]. While he was still junior age, he won the German Men's Championship as a second on the [[Alexander Baumann (curler)|Alexander Baumann]] team, and represented Germany on the national men's team at multiple European and World Championships.
===Men's=== Muskatewitz started skipping the national men's curling team at the [[2018–19 curling season]], with teammates [[Sixten Totzek]], [[Daniel Neuner]], and [[Ryan Sherrard]]. The team found success, finishing fourth at the {{EuCC|2018|2018 European Curling Championships}}, the team also represented Germany at [[2019 World Men's Curling Championship|2019 Worlds]], where they finished in 8th place with a 4–8 record. Following the season, Muskatewitz would step back to third position on the team, and Totzek would be the new skip of the new German team, where they would continue to have strong showings at the European and World Men's championships.
Muskatewitz would return as skip of the German team at [[2023–24 curling season]], and would join forces with a new team of [[Benjamin Kapp]], [[Felix Messenzehl]], [[Johannes Scheuerl]], [[Mario Trevisiol]], and coached by former teammate [[Ryan Sherrard]]. The new team would have a strong showing at the {{WMCC|2024|2024 World Men's Curling Championships}}, finishing in 5th place after losing to Italy's [[Joël Retornaz]] in the playoffs. However, the team would build upon this success at the [[2024 European Curling Championships]], they would beat Scotland's [[Bruce Mouat]] 9–7 in the final to win Germany's first European medal since 2008, and their first gold since 2004.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://worldcurling.org/2024/11/ecc2024-men-gold/|title=Germany win men's European title|website=World Curling|date=November 23, 2024}}</ref> After winning the European Championships, the team qualified for their first Tier 1 [[Grand Slam of Curling]] event, the [[2024 National]], where they had a strong showing, losing in the quarterfinals to [[Mike McEwen (curler)|Mike McEwen]] 6–5. The team also continued to perform well on the world curling circuit, winning the [[2024 Karuizawa International Curling Championships]]. Muskatewtiz would then win the 2025 German Men's Championship against former skip [[Sixten Totzek]], qualifying his team to represent Germany at the [[2025 World Men's Curling Championship]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.instagram.com/p/DF2yVXBNTn_/?img_index=1|title=DM 2025 in Hamburg (07-09 Feb) Team MUSKATEWITZ wird DEUTSCHER MEISTER 2025 🏆|publisher=@teamdeutschland_curling|website=Instagram|date=February 9, 2025|access-date=February 11, 2025}}</ref> At the 2025 World's, team Muskatewitz would finish the round robin with a 5–7 record, finishing outside of the playoffs in 8th place. However, Muskatewitz's performance over the last two world championships earned Germany enough points to qualify directly for the [[Curling at the 2026 Winter Olympics|2026 Winter Olympics]]. There, they would finish in 7th place with a 4–5 record. Muskatewitz would finish the season at the [[2026 World Men's Curling Championship]], where they would again finish outside of the playoffs in 9th place with a 4–8 record. At the end of the season, Muskatewitz announced that he will be taking a step back from competitive men's curling due to "personal reasons", but would continue to play with the Alpine Curling Club in the newly formed [[Rock League]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.thegrandslamofcurling.com/news/muskatewitz-steps-away-from-mens-team|title=Muskatewitz steps away from men's team|website=Grand Slam of Curling|access-date=May 6, 2026}}</ref>
