The defensive player played a total of 174 league games and scored 14 goals for the clubs TuS Bremerhaven 93 and Werder Bremen from 1955 to 1963 in what was then the first-class soccer Oberliga Nord . In 1961 he won the DFB Cup with the green and white team from the Weserstadion .

Career

With VfV Hildesheim , Walter Nachtwey won the championship in the amateur Oberliga Ost in Lower Saxony in the 1954/55 season. In the promotion round to Oberliga Nord, Hildesheim and VfR Neumünster ranked at the top of the table after six group games, each with 7-5 points. In the play-off for promotion, Neumünster prevailed 2-0 against Leo Zimmermann's team and Nachtwey signed a contract for the new 1955/56 season with the upper division TuS Bremerhaven 93. Nachtwey also competed for the national cup in the Lower Saxony national team Played on November 28, 1954 against the selection of Hamburg.

The first association game in the first-class Oberliga Nord completed Nachtwey on September 18, 1955 in a 0-2 home defeat against newly promoted Neumünster. He played on the left wing in the World Cup system used at the time, alongside teammates like Werner Lang , Wilfried Kapteina and Heinrich Mokroß , played 16 games (6 goals) in his debut season and Bremerhaven finished in 7th place at the end of the round. Including the 1958/59 round, he had played 69 league games with nine goals at Bremerhaven and moved to the 1959/60 round to local rivals Werder Bremen , who played in the same league. Against Holstein Kiel he ran on August 16, 1959 for the first time for Werder in the Oberliga Nord. On matchday 5, September 10, he scored a goal in a 4-0 away win at his previous club, Bremerhaven. At the end of the round he had scored three goals for the Green-Whites in 27 league appearances and celebrated the runner-up with Bremen and thus the entry into the finals of the German soccer championship .

The team of coach Georg Knöpfle opened the group phase on May 14th with a 1: 2 home defeat against 1. FC Köln, Nachtwey was active as a left wing runner. The second game was also lost in Berlin with 1: 2 against Tasmania 1900. This was followed by four victories in a row, with the end of the round on June 18 with a 5-2 away win against 1. FC Köln, where Nachtwey also defied Helmut Rahn and his colleagues as goal scorer. Cologne moved into the final on June 25 against Hamburger SV with a one-point lead over Werder Bremen, but lost 3-2. Nachtwey had played all six group games and scored one goal. From 1960 to 1963, Werder managed to win the runner-up in the Oberliga Nord with Nachtwey.

He celebrated his greatest sporting success with Bremen in the 1960/61 season in the DFB Cup . After successes against 1. FC Saarbrücken (1: 0), 1. FC Köln (3: 2) and in the semifinals against Karlsruher SC 3: 2 after extra time, he and his teammates moved into the final on September 13th in Gelsenkirchen against 1. FC Kaiserslautern . With the respective standard defender pair Josef Piontek and Nachtwey, Werder also prevailed 2-0 and brought the DFB Cup to Bremen.

In the following season, Nachtwey was used four times in the European Cup Winners' Cup , but Werder Bremen failed in the quarter-finals to Atlético Madrid . After the founding of the Bundesliga in 1963, Werder played in it from the 1963/64 season . Nachtwey made his debut on November 16, 1963 in a 4-1 win over Eintracht Frankfurt . If he was still a regular player in the Oberliga, he was only used sporadically in the Bundesliga. Only five more games followed and in the 1964/65 season he was no longer used at all, so that he hardly had any part in the German championship of Bremen in 1965.

In total, Nachtwey played for Werder Bremen six times in the Bundesliga, 105 times (5 goals) in the Oberliga Nord and five times in the DFB Cup. He was already one of the top performers at Bremerhaven and presented himself as a person of reliability at Werder.

After his active career, Nachtwey trained TuS Vahr in the early 1970s . In 1972, under coach Nachtwey , the district league team was promoted to the Bremen Association League , and a year later even to the Bremen Amateur League , the top division in Bremen.
