He did his military service as a radio operator in Buxtehude and during this time he played for the Buxtehuder SV , with which he rose in the Hamburg regional league in 1963 and played there in the 1963/4 season, while his membership in Alemannia 08 Düsseldorf was suspended, to which he followed returned to military service. In 1966 he was signed by the then regional league team Fortuna Düsseldorf and banned until September 1966 for violating the amateur statutes.

He played from 1966 to 1977 as a professional football player for Fortuna Düsseldorf in the Bundesliga and Regionalliga West and scored ten goals for Fortuna Düsseldorf as a defender in 176 Bundesliga games.

In the decisive last game of the Regionalliga West season 1970/71 against VfR Neuss , which ended 3-1, he scored the goal to make it 1-0. The victory enabled them to qualify for the promotion round, in which Fortuna Düsseldorf, as group winners , secured promotion to the Bundesliga, unbeaten with only two draws .
