The 25-year-old forward joins the Bluebirds for an undisclosed fee, putting pen to paper on a three-year deal at Cardiff City Stadium.
Glatzel scored 17 goals in 29 league and cup appearances for 1. FC Heidenheim last season, including a hat-trick away at Bayern München in the DFB-Pokal (German Cup).
Speaking exclusively to Cardiff City TV upon his arrival at CCS, Robert told us how much he is looking forward to getting started in the City shirt.
“I’m very happy to be here,” he said. “I can’t wait to get to work, get to know the fans and start the season.
“I’m a tall player and heading is a good attribute for me, but I can also play with the ball. I think I have good technique for my height, so will hopefully show the fans that and fit in well here.
“As a striker you always want to score goals to help the team. Of course, I want to score as many goals as possible.”
Ken Choo spoke to cardiffcityfc.co.uk about City's second signing in as many days, saying: “I can’t praise our chairman, Mehmet Dalman, enough for making this deal possible. He has worked tirelessly for us to get our number one striking target. I’d also like to thank Tan Sri Vincent Tan for his patience and support.
“We’re delighted to welcome Robert to our Club.”
Neil Warnock also expressed his delight to welcome Robert to the Club, telling us: "I'm excited to capture Robert's signature. He's a player we've been chasing for over five weeks. It's been hard work to get it over the line, but I'm delighted to welcome him.
Welcome.
Bench for Saturday? Or a seat in the stand?
"He'll do a good job for us. He's the type of striker I've been looking for to lead the line and he's looking forward to the challenge."

Not sure how this has come about BUT you would have to think he has come highly recommend from some source
Once again a completely “out of the blue” signing from the club which was kept secret from the media
If this guy comes off and we can get a midfield enforcer in before the deadline we are going to be a major force this season
Welcome to Cardiff young man and good luck for the future

In the last decade the only player to score 20 goals in a league season was Whittingham. It’s not really part of our game, I’d be happy if our striker contributed 10/15 goals a season, but it’s also what he gives to the team with hold up play and assists. And then our midfielders also bag a few. Don’t forget the threat of our defenders at corners too.
