Career

Helmut Fiebach started playing football shortly after the end of the war together with his best friend Herbert Heide (later a boxer in the NSF championship team) in the youth of Grün-Weiß Baumschulenweg. In 1954 he rose to the amateur league Berlin with Südstern 08. In 1955 he moved from the table sixth of the amateur league Berlin, Südstern 08 Berlin , to Hanover 96 in the football Oberliga Nord . He made his debut at the German champions of 1954 on August 28, 1955, in a 1-0 away win against FC St. Pauli in the Oberliga Nord. In the World Cup system at the time, he played alongside his attacking colleagues Heinz Wewetzer , Rolf Paetz , Klemens Zielinski and Hans Tkotz in the center forward position and got to know the Pauli center runner Otmar Sommerfeld 's class. Hanover won the runner-up behind series champion Hamburger SV, to which Fiebach had contributed three goals in nine league games, and made it to the final round of the German soccer championship. There he completed six games with one goal against FC Schalke 04, TuS Neuendorf and Karlsruher SC.

Fiebach moved back to Berlin after a year, he was hired by Tasmania Berlin . He played for Tasmania for ten years, one of them in the Bundesliga . In his only year in the Bundesliga, 1965/66, at the end of his career, after ten years of top-class football, he still played 18 games. In total he came to Tasmania to 229 league appearances in which he scored 92 goals. In 1959, 1960, 1962 and 1964 he won the Berlin championship with Tasmania and the 1958, 1961, 1962 and 1963 Berlin Cup winners. For the first championship of Tasmania in the contract league Berlin, 1958/59, "Helle" Fiebach contributed 21 hits in 30 league games. In the first final round of the German championship, the Berlin champions faced Kickers Offenbach, Hamburger SV and Westfalia Herne. Fiebach and his teammates were able to keep up in the home games, the eventual finalist Offenbach was defeated 2-2 in front of 70,000 spectators and a 2-0 home win was achieved against Herne. After defending their title in Berlin in 1960, Fiebach and his team-mates defeated Southwest champion FK Pirmasens twice in the finals and also scored 2-1 at home against Werder Bremen. In these three games, Fiebach scored three goals. Tas lost the home game against 1. FC Köln with Helmut Rahn , Josef Röhrig and Hans Schäfer in front of 88,000 spectators with 1: 2. The blue-whites from Neukölln represented Berlin football in a good manner. The captain of the "Tall Guys" had been the soul of Tas' offensive game for many years. As a strong center forward, he was constantly on the move, as well as strong in shooting and headers. When the Bonn “breaker” Heinz Fischer took over the center of the storm, Fiebach switched to half right. In the promotion round to the Bundesliga in 1964 Fiebach was used six times and scored three goals. The two successes against the later promoted Borussia Neunkirchen (5: 1) and the big favorites FC Bayern Munich (3: 0) stood out in the promotion round. In the last game Neunkirchen won 1-0 with a goal from Elmar May in the 10th minute and thus rose to the Bundesliga. With 6: 6 points, Tas finished in 3rd place, one point behind Bayern Munich and two points behind Neunkirchen.

Fiebach only played as a center forward . He later retired to the half-forward position and also played as a right-back at the end of his career.

He also made five appearances in the Berlin city selection.
