Peter started playing football in primary school. At the age of nine, her parents took her to the local football club FSV Oschatz. She later played for 1.

FFC Turbine Potsdam, winning the Bundesliga title and the German Cup in her first season. In September 2007, Peter received the Fritz Walter medal in gold as the best female junior player of the year. One month later, she scored her first Bundesliga goal for Potsdam against SG Essen-Schönebeck from the penalty spot.[4]

From 2009 to 2011, Peter won three consecutive Bundesliga titles with Turbine Potsdam.[4] In the 2009–10 season, Potsdam also claimed the inaugural UEFA Women's Champions League title, with Peter scoring during the penalty shoot-out in the final.[5] One year later, Potsdam again made it to the final, but lost against Olympique Lyonnais.
