Career

Contract league football until 1963

With the promoted SV Norden-Nordwest , the 19-year-old Hans-Joachim Altendorff finished tenth in the contract league Berlin in the 1959/60 season and scored nine goals in 25 games. He made his debut on September 27, 1959 in a 2-2 draw against Wacker 04 Berlin. He was signed by Hertha BSC for the 1960/61 season and was a member of Hertha’s championship teams in 1961 and 1963. When Hertha won the championship ahead of SC Tasmania 1900 and Tennis Borussia with 45: 9 points and 95:34 goals in the last season of the contract league, 1962/63 , Altendorff won - in the previous seasons he was an outside runner or half-forward came into action - with 41 hits in the center forward position the top scorer's crown . Erwin Bruske (Tasmania) with 18 and club mate Helmut Faeder with 15 goals followed with a clear gap on the places. The season opened by the runner-up in 1962 on August 19, 1962 with a 10-1 win against SC Tegel (German amateur champion of 1962) and Altendorff contributed seven goals. On the second match day - 4-0 success against Berliner SV 92 - he scored three goals and thus led the scorer list from the first to the last match day of the season. In the attack, coach Johannes Sobek operated alongside Altendorff with the players Lothar Groß , Helmut Faeder , Lutz Steinert , Werner Lange and Eberhard Borchert .

Altendorff and his teammates had in the 1961 finals with the 4: 3 away win against 1. FC Köln - four goals against the billy goats defense with Fritz Ewert , Georg Stollenwerk , Karl-Heinz Schnellinger , Christian Breuer , Leo Wilden and Hans Sturm - and the 3: 3 draw at the later German champions 1. FC Nürnberg was still able to convince in terms of performance against the competition from the strong top leagues from the west and south, this was no longer the case in the 1963 finals. With 8:19 goals and 3: 9 points, the Berlin champions finished last in the group. Both games against Cologne and Nuremberg were clearly lost, only against the Southwest representative 1. FC Kaiserslautern the three points were won. Altendorff scored three goals in the finals. Two in the 3-6 home defeat against 1. FC Köln and one goal in the 3-0 win against 1. FC Kaiserslautern. From 1959 to 1963 Altendorff had completed 91 games in the contract league and scored 63 goals. In the final round of the German championship he was used in eleven games and scored four goals.

Bundesliga and regional league, 1963 to 1971

For the first year of the Bundesliga in 1963/64 , Altendorff received four new additions from the club management: Harald Beyer , Uwe Klimaschefski , Otto Rehhagel and Carl-Heinz Rühl . After a decent start with 4: 4 points, the team of coach Josef Schneider was after the 11th match day - 0: 1 defeat at FC Schalke 04 - with 5:17 points in 15th place in the 16-league. The first half of the season ended with 11:19 points in 14th place. The final day of the first Bundesliga series ended the men around Altendorff, Eder and Faeder with a 2-4 defeat at Preußen Münster and were able to keep the class with 14th place. Altendorff had scored five goals in 28 missions and was mostly a left wing runner. He belongs to the group of players who started the new German performance class as active players on August 24, 1963, the first day of the Bundesliga. Since for the second year, 1964/65 , with Wolfgang Fahrian , Willibert Kremer , Kurt Schulz , Jürgen Sundermann and the Berlin home grown Michael Krampitz, five more newcomers had come to Hertha, Altendorff only made 14 more appearances in which he scored two goals. Hertha again finished 14th with 25:35 points and kept the class in terms of sport. After the end of the season, Hertha BSC was forced to transfer to the Regionalliga Berlin due to significant violations of the DFB statutes - the payments of salaries were regulated to 500 DM per month, the transfer fees to 50,000 DM and bonuses to 10,000 DM per player . The DFB had checked the cash books and, according to their results, sentenced Hertha BSC to relegation.

This was followed by three superior championships in the Regionalliga Berlin from 1966 to 1968. But it wasn't until the third attempt in 1968 that the return to the Bundesliga could be made. It was precisely with this triumph that Hans-Joachim Altendorff suffered a complicated leg fracture on the second match day of the promotion round, on May 22nd, in the 1-0 away win against 1. SC Göttingen 05 , the aftermath of which allowed him only one Bundesliga assignment in 1968/69 . From 1965 to 1968 Altendorff had completed 82 regional league games and scored 41 goals and was active in 16 games for Hertha in the three promotion rounds. When, in the second round after returning to the Bundesliga in 1969/70, Hertha and coach Helmut Kronsbein brought further reinforcements to Berlin on the transfer market with Wolfgang Gayer (Wiener SK), Lorenz Horr (SV Alsenborn) and Bernd Patzke (1860 Munich) , the 29-year-old midfielder was back in the regular cast. He scored three goals in 26 games and Hertha BSC finished third with 45:23 points behind champions Borussia Mönchengladbach and FC Bayern Munich . He was also part of the team (80 minutes long) that played on September 26, 1969 (6th match day) in a 1-0 home game against 1. FC Köln in front of the record number of 88,075 spectators that is still valid today.

In the 1970/71 season , the veteran played his last Bundesliga game on the twelfth match day, in a 1-1 draw against Rot-Weiss Essen . Hertha had upgraded with László Gergely , Zoltán Varga and Hans-Jürgen Sperlich and could thus do without the services of Altendorff. From 1963 to 1971 he had played 70 games in the Bundesliga and scored ten goals. In the Messestädte-Pokal , the all-round player has made 13 appearances for Hertha during this period. These international meetings began in 1963 against AS Roma , culminated in 1969/70 in the games against Union Las Palmas, Juventus Turin , Vitória Setúbal and Inter Milan and ended in 1970/71 with the two games against Spartak Trnava . After twelve rounds at Hertha BSC, Altendorff joined Wacker 04 in the 1971/72 round in the Berlin Regionalliga.

Regionalliga and 2nd Bundesliga, 1971 to 1975

Altendorff played four rounds after his Hertha time at Wacker 04 Berlin. The last three rounds of the old second-rate regional league system, 1971 to 1974, then the first season of the 2nd Bundesliga , 1974/75, in the group north . In his first year at Wacker 04, he celebrated winning the championship and also winning the Berlin State Cup. In 1973 and 1974 he came with his team to the runner-up. In the three promotion rounds - 1972, 1973, 1974 - the reliable midfield and defensive routinist played all 24 Bundesliga promotion games for his club. In the three seasons in the Regionalliga Berlin he played 82 games in which he scored 23 goals.

Altendorff played his last competitive game for Wacker on March 23, 1975 in a 2-1 home defeat in the 2nd Bundesliga against St. Pauli. Under coaches Peter Velhorn (until January 1975) and Željko Čajkovski (from February 1975) he completed another 16 games and scored a goal at the side of teammates Peter Bien , Peter Hanisch , Wolfgang John , Horst Lunenburg and Bernd Sobeck . In the summer of 1975 Hans-Joachim Altendorff ended his career after 16 years of contract and licensed football.
