Otto Brenzke, who comes from Schmogrow in Niederlausitz , came in April 1948 in a lightning action to SpVgg Fürth, who were fighting for relegation from the Oberliga Süd . Due to the circumstances of the Second World War , he previously had the stations SV Marga in the Gauliga Berlin-Brandenburg 1942/43 , Sachsendorf near Cottbus, Minden / Westphalia, SG Südring ( Berlin City League 1946/47; 9th place; 20 times goalscorer) and Jahn Forchheim brought behind him. He made his debut in Fürth on April 4, 1948 at the home game against Schwaben Augsburg in the then World Cup system on half right. The game lost the "Kleeblatt-Elf" 3: 4 goals and finished 19th. Center forward Horst Schade , who had joined Fürth in January 1948, scored two goals. The newcomer from Forchheim was still active in eight games in the "Mammut Round" in 1947/48 with a total of 38 game days in a season of 20; the descent of the traditional club from Fürth could not be prevented. It was positive that the Ronhof-Elf had an extremely dangerous attack with the additions of the second half of the season, Brenzke and Schade, as well as playmaker Max Appis and the two wingers Horst Hofmann and Hans Nöth . In the first year of the Bayernliga, 1948/49, the game association finished second with 50:10 points behind master SSV Jahn Regensburg. In 30 league games, the Fürth team scored 113 goals, center forward Schade alone 57 goals. In the successful promotion round against Kassel 03, 1. FC Pforzheim and FV Zuffenhausen, the half-forward Brenzke, who was building up together with Appis, scored three goals.

In 1950 Schade was the top scorer in the Oberliga Süd with 21 goals in front of club mate Otto Brenzke (20 goals) . In three league games Brenzke distinguished himself as a triple scorer: in the 3-1 win against Eintracht Frankfurt, in the 6-1 against Bayern Munich and in the 6-1 win against BC Augsburg. All five strikers were represented in the list of goalscorers: Hofmann (29-13), Brenzke (30-20), Schade (28-21), Appis (29-8), Nöth (29-11). The league returnee from Fürth moved into the finals for the German championship as South German champion . There the game association with coach Helmut Schneider was only defeated in the semifinals against the southern runner-up VfB Stuttgart , which also won the final of the German championship on June 25th.

In the competition of the regional cup 1949/50 he was used in the victorious team of Bavaria on September 18, 1949 in front of 70,000 spectators in the Olympic Stadium against the selection of Berlin. In the 3-0 success he scored the third goal for Bayern in the 75th minute. In the attack, the winner was with Helmut Herbolsheimer, Brenzke, Horst Schade, Georg Platzer and Jakob Lotz .

For the 1950/51 season Brenzke moved to 1. FC Nuremberg. At the side of Max Morlock - who won the top scorer's crown in the south with 28 goals - he won the southern championship under coach "Bumbes" Schmidt . The "Club" won the championship two points ahead of Fürth and Brenzke had scored 14 goals in 33 games. In the final round of the German football championship in 1950/51 , the "Club" came in all six matches against Prussia Muenster , Hamburger SV and Tennis Borussia Berlin respectively in the same attacking formation with Helmut Herbolsheimer , Max Morlock, Otto Brenzke, Konrad Winterstein and Adolf Kallenborn to . The center forward scored three goals in six games. With an 8: 2 win at Tennis Borussia on June 10th, Münster reached the final, level on points with Nuremberg (both 8: 4 points) thanks to the slightly better goal quotient of 1.375 against 1.308 of the Franks. Almost seven hundredths decided whether to participate in the final. In the league season 1951/52 Brenzke reached the runner-up with Nuremberg and thus moved into the finals for the third time in a row. However, it was only used on the first group match day, April 27, 1952, in the 2: 4 away defeat against Hamburger SV.

For the league season 1952/53 he returned to Fürth. At the side of goal scorer Schade (22 goals) and the new top performers Herbert Erhardt , Richard Gottinger and Karl Mai , Brenzke just missed the final round with third place.

After the 1953/54 season, when the 33-year-old had again played 16 league games and scored two goals under coach Wilhelm Hahnemann , the manager of a bakery branch left Fürth to work as a player- coach at MTV Ingolstadt in the 1954/55 season in the Bayernliga Süd to act. Brenzke's last league appearance was on March 21, 1954, when he lost 3-1 at home to FC Schweinfurt 05. After Ingolstadt, he worked as a player-coach at TSV Langenzenn and ASV Vach-Stadeln .
