Just like his older brother Gert “Charly” Dörfel, Bernd learned the basics of football in the narrow streets of Hamburg-Altona. From the youth department of Grün-Weiß 07 Hamburg he came to the Rothenbaum for Hamburger SV in 1961 . Dörfel comes from a footballer family. His father Friedo and his uncle Richard played for HSV. His brother Gert was also a player in Hamburg. Together with him and Uwe Seeler , Bernd Dörfel formed a goal-threatening storm trio in the mid-1960s.

The extremely fast right winger was promoted to the professionals by the HSV amateurs in the current 1963/64 season. Under coach Martin Wilke Dörfel made his debut on January 11, 1964 at the home game against Preußen Münster in the Bundesliga. HSV won the game with 5-0 goals and the host competed in the World Cup system that was common at the time on the wings with the Dörfel brothers and in the storm center with Uwe Seeler. Already on December 11, 1963, Bernd had played in the European Cup Winners' Cup at the home game (0-0) in front of 62,000 spectators against FC Barcelona . The talented attacker made his second European appearance on March 4, 1964 in a 1-1 home draw against Olympique Lyon. In the first year of the Bundesliga, 1963/64 , the 19-year-old made five appearances (1 goal). At the end of this season he came in May / June 1964 to four international appearances in the amateur national team of the DFB. In the second Bundesliga year, 1964/65, he experienced the team's backward development to 11th place under the training work of Georg Gawliczek ; Bernd Dörfel had scored two goals in ten league games. With Heiko Kurth (Altona 93), Andreas Mate (New York Hungarians) and the Finnish international striker Juhani Peltonen , HSV had not had a lucky hand with the new signings. In the second Gawliczek year, 1965/66, Bernd Dörfel finally prevailed as HSV regular player with 29 Bundesliga appearances and seven goals. With 34:34 points, the Rothosen took ninth place; too little for the former Herberger assistant Gawliczek, the ex-Hamborner was replaced by Josef Schneider on April 18, 1966 . The 52 goals conceded in the Bundesliga were astonishing, as with Willi Schulz and Egon Horst von Schalke 04 two seasoned defensive specialists had come to Hamburg. But it got even worse for HSV: In the 1966/67 season it was only thanks to the two promoted players Fortuna Düsseldorf and Rot-Weiss Essen that they did not have to fight for survival until the last lap day. With 30:38 points, HSV took 14th place. Bernd Dörfel had scored six goals in 32 league appearances and his personal performance development had him first on October 12, 1966 for a deployment in the junior national team U 23 and on November 19, 1966 in Cologne in a 3-0 win against Norway, for his debut in the A. -National team led. In the DFB Cup, however , the Rautträger could do something for their reputation with successes against Altona 93 (6: 0), 1. FC Köln, Kickers Offenbach and on May 6, 1967 in the semifinals with a 3: 1 home win against Alemannia Aachen, they moved into the final on June 10, 1967 in Stuttgart against FC Bayern Munich. But despite the top three Bernd Dörfel, Uwe Seeler and Gert Dörfel, HSV was clearly shown the limits by the victorious team around Franz Beckenbauer with 4-0 goals . However, despite the significant defeat by Bayern's European Cup success, HSV moved into the next round of the European Cup.

In fact, his greatest success was in 1968 when he took part in the finals in the European Cup Winners' Cup against AC Milan (lost 2-0), but in the Bundesliga the sensitive attacker suffered from the unsatisfactory working style of the tandem Kurt Koch as coach and Georg Knöpfle as football boss. HSV was 13th in the Bundesliga in 1967/68 and Bernd Dörfel was only used in unsatisfactory twelve league games (1 goal). Since the salary negotiations did not go according to his wishes, he accepted the offer from Eintracht Braunschweig and, after 88 Bundesliga games with 17 goals for Hamburger SV in the 1968/69 season, moved to the team of coach Helmuth Johannsen .

In the blue and yellow of the BTSV, the newcomer from Hamburger SV 1968/69 was the only player to complete all 34 rounds (4 goals). Wolfgang Grzyb (33-2) and header specialist Hartmut Weiß (33-15) followed just ahead of Erich Maas (32-4). The surprise champion of 1967 played a strong round, thanks to Bernd Dörfel, who is now in the attacking midfield in Braunschweig. The concord occupied one point back to runner Alemannia Aachen, points with Borussia Mönchengladbach, with 37:31 points the fourth rank . Bernd Dörfel's achievements were underlined by nine further international appearances (September 25, 1968 to May 10, 1969) by national coach Helmut Schön . But as well as the first year in Braunschweig went, the regression in the second year was just as blatant: In the 1969/70 season, Braunschweig fought despite newcomers such as Max Lorenz (Werder Bremen), Bernd Gersdorff (Tennis Borussia Berlin) and Friedhelm Haebermann (Eintracht Duisburg ) massive for relegation. The breaking away of the previous corset rods Jürgen Moll (accidental death in December 1968) and Walter Schmidt (end of career after serious injury in preparation for the round) hit Eintracht almost on the lifeblood. In addition, Bernd Dörfel just didn't get going. In the entire second half of the season, he was only used in four Bundesliga games and only played 17 Bundesliga games and scored no goals. Eintracht just managed to get 16th. His situation in the national team developed accordingly. His penultimate and last international match was played by Bernd Dörfel on September 21 and 24, 1969, between the fifth and sixth preliminary round match day, against Austria and Bulgaria. Then the national team was over, the trip to Mexico for the final round of the 1970 World Cup from May 31 to June 21 took place without the Braunschweiger. After just two rounds, his activity at Eintracht Braunschweig ended in the summer of 1970 - there was also financial difficulties at Eintracht and, in addition to Dörfel, Erich Maas (Bayern Munich) and Hartmut Weiß (VfB Stuttgart) were also sold - and he switched to the Switzerland to Servette Geneva .

In the first season in Switzerland, 1970/71, Dörfel took seventh place with Geneva in the NLA. The newcomer from Braunschweig scored eleven goals in 26 league appearances. Under coach Jean Snella , however, the sporting highlight was on April 12, 1971 with a 2-0 win against FC Lugano - with coach Albert Sing and midfielder Otto Luttrop - the victory in the Swiss Cup . In his second Geneva season, 1971/72, his team did not improve in the table, but Dörfel was top scorer in Switzerland with 17 goals. In the European Cup Winners' Cup , Geneva was just eliminated from Liverpool . The home game on September 15th was won 2-1 - Dörfel took the 1-0 lead - and the Swiss Cup winner lost 2-0 at Anfield . He ended his career in Geneva in the summer of 1973 after a serious knee injury with meniscus damage and a torn cruciate ligament. For Geneva, Dörfel had scored 31 goals in 60 games in the NLA.

National team

After Bernd Dörfel had already played four times in the amateur national team in 1964 and had played successfully in the junior national team U23 on October 12, 1966 in the international match against Turkey (3-0), he completed as right-winger between November 19, 1966 (3-0 in Cologne against Norway) and September 24, 1969 (1-0 in Sofia against Bulgaria) 15 international matches for the German national team and scored two goals. He was instrumental in qualifying for the 1970 World Cup in Mexico. However, a form weakness in the course of the 1969/70 season prevented his appointment to the 1970 World Cup squad.

After football

The trained auto mechanic was most recently employed in the in-house print shop of the Norddeutscher Rundfunk in Hamburg. In May 2008, the pensioner broke up his household in order to travel across Europe with a motorhome.
