career

Wirth played for VfB Helmbrechts in the fifties and sixties . In the 1954/55 season he won the championship with his club in the 1st Amateur League North Bavaria. Since the "Rothosen" from the small town in what was then the Münchberg district also prevailed in the promotion round, they were able to move into the 2nd League South . In 1955, Wirth also celebrated victory with 5-2 goals in the regional cup against the representation of Westphalia with the selection of the Bavarian Football Association . He played right outside runner in the World Cup system at that time on the side of center runner Rudolf Meßmann and left outside runner Fritz Semmelmann . Due to good performances in the debut season in the second league south, 1955/56, - ​​VfB could barely reach relegation with 16th place - he was also appointed to the German national soccer team of the amateurs at the end of the round . In the 4-1 success of the DFB amateur team, he and Ludwig Landerer (middle runner) again formed the runner-up line of the team led by captain Herbert Schäfer with the Bayreuth Semmelmann . Wirth played with VfB Helmbrechts until the second division was dissolved after the 1962/63 season through the introduction of the Bundesliga and the South Regional Soccer League for the 1963/64 season, in the substructure of the then first-class South Soccer League .

The goal-scoring and technically adept playmaker experienced the best placement with Helmbrechts in the 2nd League South in the 1959/60 season when he reached fourth rank. After 17th matchdays, VfB had topped the table with 25: 9 points. In the team of coach Bruno Büchner, goalkeeper Fritz Billing and center runner Josef Bauerschmidt were also other top performers. On the 34th and final day of the match, Helmbrechts won the home game against the champions and league promoted SV Waldhof Mannheim - with Wolfgang Höfig , Rolf Lederer , Klaus Sinn , Herbert Lehn - at the home sports ground in Frankenwald with 3-1 goals. Bernhard Wirth scored a goal on half right. The SpVgg Bayreuth - with Fritz Semmelmann and Johann Zeitler - and the BC Augsburg - with Helmut Haller and Ulrich Biesinger - ranked fifth or sixth place behind Helmbrechts.

Bernhard Wirth played for the last time internationally in 1975 in the 1-1 draw of the DFB-Altinternationalen against Austria.
