He finished the competition in Seefeld in 15th place and got a World Cup point. At the end of the season he finished 10th overall with a total of 42 World Cup points.

In the 1984/85 season he celebrated his first World Cup victory at the home world cup in Schonach . He won the race ahead of the Norwegian Geir Andersen and his teammate Hubert Schwarz.

In the individual competition he did not succeed, but behind the Norwegians Torbjørn Løkken and Trond Arne Bredesen he won the bronze medal.

As a trainer

After his active career, Weinbuch completed an apprenticeship as a qualified trainer at the sports university in Cologne. He was then initially employed in the junior division. In 1996 he became national coach for the Nordic combined. Since then he has held this position with a brief interruption. Under his leadership, the German athletes won a large number of medals at World Championships and Olympic Games and were very successful in the World Cup. After Weinbuch announced after the World Championships in 2011 that he wanted to retire as national coach, a head coach position was created especially for him.
