career

Helmut Hilpert, born in 1937, came from the youth of 1. FC Hersbruck , where he played until 1952 and then joined the youth department of FCN . Alongside Heinz Strehl and Ferdinand Wenauer , Hilpert won the South German championship in 1956 with the Club A youth team. In the last season of trainer Franz Binder , 1959/60, he and his youth colleagues Paul Derbfuß , Gustav Flachenecker and Tasso Wild were taken over into the top division. There, the robust left defender, who was strong in duels, quickly advanced as the successor of Kurt Ucko to the regular defender alongside Paul Derbfuß and played a total of 353 games for the "club" in nine years. Hilpert made his debut on October 18, 1959 in a 3: 3 home draw against Eintracht Frankfurt in the league. He fought against the fast Eintracht right winger Richard Kress . For the 1960/61 season Herbert Widmayer took over the coaching position in the Noris and the other talents Kurt Haseneder and Stefan Reisch strengthened the team. At the end of the round the FCN celebrated the championship in the Oberliga Süd with 96:30 goals and 48:12 points. With a seven point lead over runner-up Eintracht Frankfurt, the team around the "club legend" Max Morlock prevailed. Widmayer's innovative training methods, with which he had trained stamina, spurts and, above all, starts, were one of the reasons why the young club team clinched the eighth championship in 1961. Hilpert only missed one of 30 rounds. In the final round of the German championship, the reliable defender also played in all six group games against Hertha BSC, 1. FC Cologne and Werder Bremen and was then a guarantee for the safety of the team in the final on June 24, 1961 in Hanover against Borussia Dortmund Club defensive. The dreaded BVB attack by coach Max Merkel with Alfred Kelbassa , Aki Schmidt , Jürgen Schütz , Friedhelm Konietzka and Gerhard Cyliax found its master on that day in the club defensive association around goalkeeper Roland Wabra , the defender couple Derbfuß-Hilpert and the runner row with Josef Zenger , Ferdinand Wenauer and Steff Reisch, the club won the German championship 3-0.

In the year of the soccer world championship in Chile in 1962, the "club" defended the championship in the south, but now tied with vice Eintracht Frankfurt with 43:17 points each. "Helmes" Hilpert had played all 30 league games and scored two goals. In the final round of the German championship, the Widmayer protégés prevailed with three narrow wins - Tasmania 1900 (2: 1), Borussia Neunkirchen (3: 2), FC Schalke 04 (3: 1) - but had against in the final 1. FC Köln in a very clear 4-0 defeat, no chance of victory. This season, the games in the European Cup against Drumcondra Dublin (5: 0, 4: 1), Fenerbahce Istanbul (2: 1, 1: 0) and defending champion Benfica Lisbon presented an additional challenge. The hosts won the first leg against coach Béla Guttmann's team 3-1 in Nuremberg, but in the second leg the outstanding Benfica attack with José Augusto , Eusébio , José Águas , Mário Coluna and António Simões dismantled the reigning German champions 6-0 . In the 1962 DFB Cup, Hilpert and colleagues prevailed over Saar 05 (3: 0), VfV Hildesheim (11: 0) and in the semifinals with a 4: 2 against Eintracht Frankfurt and were in the final on August 29, 1962 Hanover against Fortuna Düsseldorf. In extra time, Nuremberg won the cup 2-1; the final triangle was involved as usual in the formation of Wabra, Derbfuß and Hilpert. In the last year of the first-class Oberliga era, 1962/63, Nuremberg had to be content with the runner-up in the Oberliga Süd and failed in the final round in the group stage at 1. FC Köln. Between 1961 and 1963 Hilpert played a total of 18 games with 1. FC Nürnberg in three finals; 18 appearances in 18 games. He was a constant in the Nuremberg game, a building block in the success of this era. He underlined this in the games for the European Cup Winners' Cup 1962/63 against AS St. Etienne (0-0, 3-0), B 09 Odense (1-0, 6-0) and in the semi-finals against Atletico Madrid (2 : 1, 0: 2).

In the Bundesliga, the defender made his debut on October 19, 1963 in a 2-0 home defeat against FC Schalke 04. Center forward Klaus Matischak countered the vehemently attacking clubbers with two goals and the former regular defender had to be content with eight Bundesliga appearances in 1963/64. In the 1965/66 season he achieved his best record with 32 missions, the club finished 6th. When the Franks under coach Max Merkel achieved the surprising championship success in the 1967/68 season, Hilpert only had four games - Karlsruher SC (2: 0), Borussia Neunkirchen (2: 2), Hamburger SV (4: 0), 1. FC Kaiserslautern (4: 1) - being able to actively participate. Horst Leupold and Fritz Popp were the regular defenders in this round. Merkel sorted out the squad before the 1968/69 round, Hilpert joined SV Waldhof Mannheim in the second -rate regional soccer league south for two years.

For the blue-blacks from Mannheim's Waldhof district, he ran in 32 regional league games in 1968/69 when he reached 11th place under coach Hermann Lindemann , including the derbies against VfR Mannheim and VfL Neckarau . In his second Waldhöfer round he was only able to play ten more games due to injuries and Waldhof was relegated to the amateur camp at the end of the round. On November 2, 1969, Hilpert played his last league game for Waldhof in a 3-0 home defeat against VfR Heilbronn.

He returned to Nuremberg and took over a stationery shop with lottery ticket acceptance on Tafelfelderstrasse. He remained connected to football for several years as a player-coach in the amateur field.

He died in June 1997.
