In 1984 he was a member of the Olympic team at the Olympic football tournament in Los Angeles with two other Waldhof players .

This was followed by Schön's greatest successes as a club player. In the 1984/85 season , SV Waldhof was sixth in the Bundesliga and only missed participation in the UEFA Cup because of the poorer goal difference .

After SV Waldhof was also relegated, he moved to his old club again for one season.
