After the end of World War II , he moved to Dortmund , where he played for Borussia Dortmund from then on . In addition to two championships ( 1956 and 1957 , previously runner-up in 1949 ), he led Borussia Dortmund to a further six West German championships.

There were also 22 games (14 goals) in the finals for the German championship, ten appearances (eight goals) in the European Cup and one appearance (one goal) in the DFB Cup competition. To this day, Adi Preißler is BVB's record scorer with 168 goals. In 1949 (25 goals) and 1950 (24 goals) he was the top scorer in the Oberliga West.
