For the 1975/76 season he moved to league rivals Eintracht Braunschweig , where he won a regular place in the defense after initial difficulties. For Braunschweig he played 122 times for points, twelve times in the DFB Cup and nine times in the UEFA Cup competition. For this his team qualified due to the good performance in his premiere season as fifth place in the championship.

In 1976/77 he reached third place with Eintracht Braunschweig, the (to this day) best placement in the championship, as a result of which he was used again in the UEFA Cup competition.
