In summer 2016 she signed for a 3-year contract with Bundesliga side 1. FFC Frankfurt.[2] After just playing a 90 minutes match 2. Frauen-Bundesliga for the 1.FFC reserves team on 28 August 2016 against TSG Hoffenheim reserves, she debuted in the Bundesliga on 4 September 2016 against Borussia Mönchengladbach when she was subbed in for Saskia Bartusiak in the 68th minute. Pawollek would win the bronze Fritz Walter Medal in 2016 and the gold medal in 2018.[3]

Pawollek scored her first Bundesliga goal on 30 April 2017 at the away match (2-2) at Bayer 04 Leverkusen. She has captained the team since the 2019/20 season.[4] Pawollek helped Eintracht Frankfurt reach the final of the 2020–21 DFB-Pokal Frauen, where she would suffer a serious knee injury.[5]

In July 2020, 1. FFC Frankfurt was integrated into Eintracht Frankfurt, forming the clubs's women's football section.[6]

In February 2023, Pawollek signed a contract extension to remain at Eintracht Frankfurt until 30 June 2025.[7]

Since the first call up for the under-15 national team on 30 October 2013 against Scotland, when she contributed a goal, Pawollek became a regular member for Germany's youth teams with 49 appearances,[8] including being named to the Team of the Tournament in the 2016 UEFA Women's Under-17 Championship won by Germany.[9][10] In December 2018 Germany's gaffer Martina Voss-Tecklenburg called her up for Germany during the winter training camp between 14 and 21 January 2019 in Marbella, Spain.[8]

In May 2021, Pawollek, whose parents were born in Poland, was called up to the Polish national team.
