career

Clubs, 1948 to 1968

VfL Bochum, until 1962

For the round of 1957/58, the previous youth player Heinz Lowin was taken over at VfL Bochum in the contract team for the Oberliga West . Coach Herbert Widmayer immediately put the young player on the first day of play, at the home game on August 11, 1957 against Meidericher SV as a right wing runner. Due to the good performance of VfL in the 1958/59 round, the Bochumers took fourth place, the DFB also became aware of the outside runner and called him to three appearances in the U23 national team. He played the first game for the DFB team on May 10, 1959 in Bochum against England and formed the runner-up with Willi Schulz and Günter Jäger . Ten days later, in the 4-2 win against Poland in Krakow, he was again on the pitch as the left runner and had Josef Parzl and Ferdinand Wenauer by his side. Lowin also played for the DFB in the third international junior game in 1959. This game took place on November 7th in Miskolc against Hungary and ended in a 2-2 draw. Günter Graetsch , Wenauer and Lowin formed the runner row. Overall, Lowin played 99 games with two goals for VfL in the Oberliga West from 1957 to 1961. After relegation to the 2nd division West in 1961 , he played a season in the second division in the West in 1961/62 and took third place with Bochum behind the two league promoters Leverkusen ( Heinz Höher , Manfred Manglitz ) and Wuppertal ( Erich Haase , Erich Ribbeck ) . For the round 1962/63 Lowin accepted the offer from Borussia Mönchengladbach from the Oberliga West and moved to the Lower Rhine.

Borussia Mönchengladbach, 1962 to 1967

In the last year of the Oberliga 1962/63 there was movement in the personnel area on the Bökelberg : Fritz Langner was the new coach and national player Albert Brülls moved to Italy for FC Modena . The man from Bochum immediately belonged to the regular line-up with 29 missions and finished eleventh with Borussia at the end of the round. Since Mönchengladbach was not qualified for the new Bundesliga, Lowin started in the Regionalliga West from the 1963/64 season . At the side of the newcomers Horst-Dieter Höttges , Günter Netzer , his former teammate Egon Milder from Bochum and Rudolf Pöggeler , he played all 38 games and Gladbach was eighth. In the last two association games (from April 27, 1964), coach Hennes Weisweiler replaced Fritz Langner, who was drawn to the Bundesliga for FC Schalke 04 .

In the first year of coaching with the Cologne football teacher Weisweiler, Borussia won the championship title in the west and thus moved into the Bundesliga promotion round. Weisweiler used Heinz Lowin in 31 games in the regional league season . In the successful promotion round he was in all six games against Reutlingen, Kiel and Worms. In total, Lowin came to 69 regional league games with two goals from 1963 to 1965.

In the Bundesliga, Lowin played 39 games for Mönchengladbach from 1965 to 1967. His first appearance was on August 21, 1965 in the 5-0 home win against Tasmania Berlin and his last Bundesliga game on April 1, 1967 in the 4-3 home win against Rot-Weiss Essen, where he had a difficult position as a right defender against the dribbling strong Willi Lippens .

In the summer of 1967 Lowin ended his career in Germany and signed a contract with VVV Venlo in Holland.
