career

1. FC Kaiserslautern, 1972 to 1978

Coach Dietrich Weise brought A youth player Heinz Wilhelmi to the Bundesliga three times in the 1972/73 round. The talent had earned these missions through 15 appointments to the DFB national youth team from September 12, 1972 to June 4, 1973, where he also took part in the UEFA tournament in Italy. For the 1973/74 round, Erich Ribbeck replaced coach Weise in Kaiserslautern and Wilhelmi made 22 appearances. When the young offensive player was part of the regular line-up with 30 appearances in the 1975/76 series, the Palatinate took seventh place in the league. In the DFB Cup , they moved into the final after successes against VfR Mannheim , Blumenthaler SV , Eintracht Braunschweig and a 4-2 success in the semi-finals against Hertha BSC . Wilhelmi formed the attack of the Betzenbergelf against Hertha with striker Klaus Toppmöller and left winger Roland Sandberg . In the final on June 26, 1976 the injured striker Toppmöller was missing (eight goals in the cup competition) and Hamburger SV won the DFB Cup with a 2-0 victory. Wilhelmi was substituted on for Josef Pirrung in the 62nd minute of the game .

2nd Bundesliga South, 1978 to 1980

With the Wormatia, Wilhelmi only just missed promotion to the Bundesliga in the 1978/79 round. As autumn champions, the club from the Nibelungenstadt had to let the top performers Zander, Poulsen, Seubert and coach Eckhard Krautzun go in winter for financial reasons and thus fell back to 3rd place in the second half of the season. Wilhelmi signed for the 1979/80 round in Breisgau with Freiburg FC and completed 32 games with six goals for the team from the Mösle Stadium. The FFC ended up in ninth place. But Freiburg also had financial problems and put the red pencil on the professionals. Wilhelmi therefore withdrew from the professional field in the summer of 1980 and moved to the amateur camp. With the association selection Southwest he won the national cup of amateurs twice in 1981 and 1982 .

Amateur national team, 1974 to 1977
