Since he was also nominated by the DFB for the international game of the amateur national team against Italy in Konstanz on May 25, 1967 and had made a good impression in the 0-0 draw alongside club mate Stiller and the other debutant Egon Schmitt in the runner row, his was his nothing in the way of your first Bundesliga appearance. Under coach Horst Buhtz , the amateur made his debut on the 34th matchday of the 1966/67 Bundesliga round, on June 3, 1967, in the 0-1 away defeat at 1. FC Kaiserslautern in the Bundesliga.

Before his first Bundesliga season, 1967/68, the new 96er President Alfred Strothe had invested heavily through the newcomers of star strikers Jupp Heynckes and Josip Skoblar and given the goal to the top places in the table. Anders came on 19 missions and Hanover was only tenth despite the other players Jürgen Bandura , Christian Breuer , Hans-Josef Hellingrath , Horst Podlasly , Walter Rodekamp , Hans Siemensmeyer and Rainer Stiller and decided in February 1968 to dismiss coach Buhtz.
