He was already a member of the championship and promotion team of the 1968/69 season of the black and yellow in the Bayern League . Under coach Willibald Hahn he was promoted to the Regionalliga Süd and Manfred Großesler scored 35 goals in the championship round. With the home game on August 16, 1969 against Kickers Stuttgart, the association round began in 1969/70. In front of 8,500 spectators, the team from the Wagner city reached a 1-1 draw. The twenty-year-old Horn acted in midfield and Großerler converted a penalty for the Upper Franconia. In addition to the derbies against FC Bayern Hof with Bayreuth striker Wolfgang Breuer , the games against the top teams Offenbacher Kickers, Karlsruher SC and 1. FC Nürnberg were outstanding competitions for the newly promoted team. In the season of 20 in the south, a play-off in Fürth between Bayreuth and ESV Ingolstadt had to decide on 16th place, Bayreuth lost 2: 5 and was immediately relegated to the amateur camp. The young Horn had played all 38 rounds and scored four goals. The Spielvereinigung was in 1970/71 with 61: 7 points superior champions in the Bayern League and immediately returned to the Regionalliga Süd.

In addition to the renewed rise, Horn had also participated in the Bavarian association selection in this phase in winning the regional cup twice in 1970 and 1971. Bavaria won 2-0 against North Baden on October 6, 1970 in Karlsruhe and 2-1 on July 11, 1971 in Bayreuth after extra time against the Lower Rhine. Horn was in midfield in both winning teams and club colleagues Adolf Ruff (goalkeeper), Hans Rauh (defender) and Manfred Großesler completed the Bayreuth contribution. Association trainer Horst Sturz also brought in other excellent people with Heiner Schuhmann , Walter Sohnle , Horst Pohl , Günter Helgert , Roland Stegmayer and Manfred Linz . In 1971, the later Bundesliga players Heiner Baltes , Reiner Hollmann , Benno Beiroth , Rudolf Seliger , Leonhard Helmreich and Klaus Wunder played at the final opponent Niederrhein .

From the 1971/72 season, Horn played again with Bayreuth in the then second-rate Regionalliga Süd. As a returnee you finished 13th and played your way in the last two years of the regional league second division in 1973 and 1974, on the front places four and five. Horn had played 102 league games in the three rounds and scored seven goals.

2nd Bundesliga, 1974 to 1982

SpVgg Bayreuth was thus qualified for the newly introduced 2nd Bundesliga South for the 1974/75 season. He started under coach Jenö Vincze in the 2nd division and secured himself with his teammates under Vincze's successor Gerhard Happ with the ninth place. In 38 league games, the midfielder had scored two goals at the side of returnees Wolfgang Breuer and the 11-time goalscorer Großerler; the 29: 9 home points were the guarantee for existence in the 2nd division. In the second year, 1975/76 , they improved to fifth place and Horn had contributed five goals in 37 missions. With Herbert Heidenreich and Uwe Sommerer , two strikers had scored 13 goals each. In the third year of the 2nd Bundesliga, 1976/77 , the game association fell back to 14th place; But Horn had the same number of stakes and goals from the previous year. Outstanding in this round was the 3-2 home win in January 1977 against eventual champions VfB Stuttgart when “Bobby” Breuer made it 3-2 in the 85th minute. Under the new coach Heinz Elzner there was a clear upswing in 1977/78 which led the black and yellow to fourth place in the final ranking. After the preliminary round, the game association was even in first place. With 34: 4 points they had an excellent home record and Horn had played all 38 league games and scored two goals.

The following round in 1978/79 became the sporting highlight . The first game day, on July 29, 1978, began with a 3-1 away win for the game association at TSV Munich 1860. Horn was able to distinguish himself as a goalscorer. After the fifth match day, a 1-0 win at the Stuttgarter Kickers, Bayreuth led the table with 10-0 points. The two unexpected defeats at the end of the second half of the season against the teams from Baunatal (0-1) and FSV Frankfurt (2-4 home defeat), who were fighting for relegation, prevented the championship win and thus direct promotion to the Bundesliga. With 52:24 points, Bayreuth was runner-up behind Munich 1860, one point behind. Horn had played 36 league games and scored three goals. In June 1979 he missed promotion to the 1st Bundesliga with SpVgg Bayreuth in the relegation against KFC Uerdingen . In the home game on June 14, he formed the midfield in a 1-1 draw in front of 22,000 spectators with Klaus Brand and Wolfgang Breuer. In the 1: 2 away defeat on June 20, Horn scored the interim 1: 1 equalizer in the 24th minute; Willi Götz decided the game for Uerdingen with his goal in the 85th minute.

There were three more rounds in the 2nd Bundesliga with Bayreuth, but since he was already over thirty and the two figureheads Breuer and Großerler - both born in 1944 - were more like senior citizens, Bayreuth could no longer do the old Maintain performance. It went down in the table and in the summer of 1982, it was the first round of the single-track Bundesliga 2, it went back to the amateur camp.

Horn ended his career at SpVgg Bayreuth in the summer of 1982.
