Before that, he had scored 59 goals in 115 league games from 1963 to 1967 in the then second -rate regional football league at Borussia Fulda and SpVgg Fürth .

Career

From his home club VfL 08 Duderstadt , Windhausen came to SC Borussia Fulda from amateur football in Lower Saxony . In the debut season of the then second-rate Regionalliga Süd , the center forward played 33 games for Fulda in 1963/64 and scored eight goals. He made his debut in the Regionalliga on August 4, 1963 in a 1-1 draw away at ESV Ingolstadt. At the side of teammates like goalkeeper Theo Diegelmann , defender Günter Maaß and half-striker Hans-Jürgen Himmelmann , he got to know the qualities of ESV players Horst Blechinger and Klaus Slatina in the World Cup system at the time. In the second away game, Fulda defied the high championship favorites FC Bayern Munich on August 18 with a 3-3 draw. In the team of coach Zlatko Čajkovski were experts like Sepp Maier , Werner Olk , Karl Borutta , Herbert Erhardt , Rainer Ohlhauser , Dieter Brenninger and Werner Ipta . On matchday 12, October 27, 1963, they won 2-0 against Kickers Offenbach on the dreaded Bieberer Berg, where their attackers Oskar Lotz , Georg Tripp , Siegfried Gast and Sigfried Held had run after a goal in vain. Eight days later they wrestled a 2-2 in front of 17,000 spectators in the home game of the eventual champions Hessen Kassel, with center forward Windhausen enjoying the consistent guarding of center runner Heinrich Dittel . After Fulda was relegated to 18th place at the end of the season, he signed a contract with SpVgg Fürth and stayed in the regional league.

In the first two years of Fürth he played under coach Zeljko Cajkovski and scored five (1965) and 14 (1966) goals. In his third year in Fürth, 1966/67, the striker with strong headers was able to improve his goal scoring under coach Robert Gebhardt to 32 goals in 29 league games and finally became top scorer in the Regionalliga Süd in 1967; Kurt Haseneder and Wolfgang Breuer followed together in 2nd place with 28 goals each. Windhausen opened the round on August 20, 1966 with two goals in a 3-1 home win against VfR Mannheim. In the games against Darmstadt 98 (4: 1) and the two encounters against Schwaben Augsburg (3: 1 and 4: 0) he distinguished himself as a triple goalscorer. In a 5-0 win on April 16, 1967 in the home game against SV Waldhof, the attacker even scored four goals. With players like Hermann Marchl , Jürgen Billmann , Klaus Slatina , Richard Albrecht , Paul Derbfuß , Norbert Knopf , Ernst Perras , Robert Ehrlinger , Peter Löwer and Ernst Tauchmann , Windhausen came third this season; two points behind champions and runners-up Kickers Offenbach and Bayern Hof. He was then courted by Bundesliga clubs and finally accepted the offer from 1. FC Kaiserslautern for the 1967/68 season and moved to the Palatinate.

Windhausen experienced the fight to stay at the FCK. First under coach Otto Knefler (until March 4, 1968), then under his successor Egon Piechaczek . The man from Fürth made his debut on August 26, 1967 in a 1-1 away draw at Hamburger SV in the Bundesliga. Besides him, Gerd Roggensack and Heinz-Dieter Hasebrink also came to the “Red Devils”. However, as Otto Rehhagel broke his shin, Gerd Schneider , Otto Geisert and Herwart Koppenhöfer also dropped out due to injuries and Helmut Kapitulski had to serve an eight-week ban, the first year of Windhausen in Kaiserslautern was not a good star. Only the relegated Borussia Neunkirchen and Karlsruher SC saved the FCK from relegation to the Regionallig Südwest in 1967/68. In his second season, 1968/69, he was able to expand his personal record at the side of the new playmaker Jürgen Friedrich to 32 league appearances with eleven goals, but again he fought with his teammates to stay up. With 30:38 points, the Lauterer finished 15th at the end of the lap and Windhausen accepted an offer from league rivals Werder Bremen and switched to the Weserstadion team . In the DFB Cup , he was only eliminated with Kaiserslautern in the semi-finals in the replay with 1: 3 against FC Schalke 04.

From 1969 to 1971 he played two more first division years at SV Werder. In the first season, Bremen took 11th place under coaches Fritz Rebell (until March 16, 1970) and Hans Tilkowski (from March 17 , 1970), and 10th place under coach Robert Gebhardt (old friend from Fürth) in 1970/71. Platz and the successful engagements of Rudi Assauer and Karl-Heinz Kamp . With his use on October 31, 1970, a 3-0 away defeat at Arminia Bielefeld, Windhausen ended his professional career because of injuries.
