He and his team won the final of the Mitropa Cup, which was played for the first time, against SK Rapid Wien , after losing the first leg in Prague 6-2 - Patek scored twice - and the second leg with 1-2 in Vienna. In 1930 the two teams met again, but SK Rapid Wien won it after the first and second leg.

FC Kaiserslautern and Hannover 96 - in the final, which was lost 2: 4 on June 24, 1956 in the Berlin Olympic Stadium against Borussia Dortmund . A year earlier, he and the team reached the final of the national club cup, which they also won 3-2 against FC Schalke 04 .
