Athletic career

Dieter Wendland, who had played both the youth and the amateur team of the “Storks”, belonged to Holstein Kiel's 1st team from 1974/75 after the club missed the qualification for the newly created 2nd Bundesliga and was the third highest Division re-introduced Oberliga Nord took up. Wendland played his first two league games on the 33rd and 34th round matchday against Concordia Hamburg (0-0) and in the 6-0 home win on May 11, 1974 against Heider SV. From the next round he was a member of the Holstein team. After places in the middle of the table, he qualified with the team in the 1976/77 season for the promotion round to the 2nd Bundesliga, but as third behind Rot-Weiß Lüdenscheid and the Siegburger SV 04 the promotion was missed. In the following season, the team supervised by Gerd Koll and team captain Wendland was also regularly on one of the top three ranks, which entitled to direct qualification for the promotion round. After defeats in the last four games, however, they slipped to fourth place in the table, so that a deciding round against the second in the Westphalia Championship, 1. FC Paderborn , had to decide on participation. After a draw in the first and second leg, a play-off had to decide on a neutral seat, in which the storks only prevailed on penalties . The promotion round was just as tight, with a 1-0 win over Wacker 04 Berlin only on the last day of the match for the club to secure promotion through a goal from Wulf-Dieter Hansen .

In the 2nd Bundesliga, Wendland was one of the club's regulars for the next three years and played a total of 107 second division games in which he scored 18 goals. In the DFB Cup 1978/79 , the team also caused a sensation when they reached the round of 16, Wendland appeared as a two-time goalscorer in the third round match against Karlsruher SC , which ended with a 5-2 win. However , the team was eliminated from the competition with a clear 1: 7 defeat against Bundesliga club 1. FC Nürnberg . At the end of the 1980/81 season , a 19th place in the table was no longer enough to keep the league, especially since the north and south seasons of the German lower class were merged. Until 1983, Wendlan then ran under coach Emanuel von Soden in the major league for the club.

After a weak start to the 1984/85 season , von Soden was released from his coaching position and the previous assistant coach Wendland took over the management of the team. Since there was no lasting success even under his leadership, he was replaced by Werner Bannasch shortly before the end of the year .

Since 2018, Wendland has been a member of the board of the "Traditional Club of KSV Holstein" as secretary.
