career

Oberliga, 1959 to 1963

The later record player in the second-class regional league made his debut on April 12, 1959 at FK Pirmasens in the then first-class Oberliga Südwest. In a 6-1 home win against Wormatia Worms, the 19-year-old attacker, who had come from FC Rodalben, stormed the left wing and scored two goals. The FKP started the attack with Herbert Schroer , Karl Brunn , Heini Seebach , Helmut Kapitulski and the debutant. After two league appearances, Weishaar belonged to the main formation of the Southwest Champion in the final round of the 1959 German soccer championship. He made his debut on May 16 at the Südweststadion in Ludwigshafen with a 4-0 home win in front of 60,000 spectators against 1. FC Köln. After all, the West German runner-up was on the defensive with players like Fritz Ewert (goalkeeper), Herbert Dörner , Karl-Heinz Schnellinger and Hans Sturm and had also called on renowned experts on the offensive with Franz Brungs , Josef Röhrig and Hans Schäfer . The first away game took Weishaar and colleagues to the Main, on May 23rd they faced the South German champions Eintracht Frankfurt. In front of 81,000 spectators, the team around Richard Kreß and Istvan Sztani narrowly prevailed 3: 2. On May 30, they managed a 4-1 home win against North German runner-up Werder Bremen. Then there were three defeats in the three return matches and Pirmasens was ranked 3rd after six games with 4-8 points in the final group I. Weishaar had played all six group matches (1 goal). That was the debut of 19-year-old Hilmar Weishaar in league football in 1959. When the kicker published the ranking of German football for the first half of 1959 in August 1959, the talent of FK Pirmasens on the left wing in the category “In the wider circle of the national team "along with Theo Klöckner , Heinz Vollmar , Engelbert Kraus and Bernhard Klodt listed.

In his second league round, 1959/60, he belonged to the team of the successful defending champion with 24 league appearances and six goals. In the 1961/62 world championship year, Weishaar played all 30 league games and scored ten goals in winning the runner-up. The FKP had scored 104 goals in the southwest and with Rolf Fritzsche (24), Klaus Matischak (23), Helmut Kapitulski (19) and Heinz Hohmann (19) had several players with scoring quality at their disposal. In the final round, which was shortened because of the World Cup tournament in Chile, Weishaar only played in the opening game against Hamburger SV. The team around Uwe Seeler (4 goals) prevailed 6: 3 in front of 65,000 spectators in the Südweststadion in Ludwigshafen. Weishaar had brought FKP 2-1 in the 25th minute of the game. He could probably get over his abstinence from the two inglorious defeats against Eintracht Frankfurt (1: 8) and 1. FC Köln (0:10). He said goodbye to the league era in 1962/63 with 3rd place, 30 league appearances and 14 goals. On the other hand, it was painful that the DFB did not include Pirmasens in the Bundesliga, which started in 1963/64. Only 1. FC Kaiserslautern and, surprisingly, 1. FC Saarbrücken were nominated from the southwest. Neunkirchen and Pirmasens were thus second class and therefore played in the second class Regionalliga Südwest from 1963/64.

Regionalliga, 1963 to 1972

Pirmasens started the second-rate regional league era with a 1-0 home win on August 4, 1963. The three clubs Borussia Neunkirchen, FKP and Worms fought an exciting battle for the first two places at the top of the table. After 38 rounds (20-man league in the debut round), one point separated the champion from the runner-up and this from the third. The team of coach Horst Buhtz brought the title to Saarland, Alfred Preißler managed the runner-up with Pirmasens and Radoslav Momirski had to be content with the ungrateful third place with the Wormatia. Weishaar and colleagues scored the most rounds with 128 goals, followed by 106 from the champions from Neunkirchen. Worms had topped the table after the first half of the season with one point ahead of Pirmasens, Neunkirchen was four or three points behind in third place. With a furious second half of the season, the Borussia - 33: 5 points / 62: 12 goals - turned this position around and won the first championship in the Regionalliga Südwest. Together with Pirmasens, they moved into the first Bundesliga promotion round in June 1964. Left wing Weishaar had scored eleven goals in 36 league appearances.

The runner-up first had to play two qualifying games against the west runner-up Wuppertaler SV. The team from the stadium at the Zoo , trained by Robert Gebhardt , went with players like Dieter Auris , (goalkeeper), Erich Haase , Günter Jäger , Vitus Sauer , Günter Augustat , Manfred Reichert , Werner Tönges , Emil Meisen , Jürgen Papies and Günter Nauheimer as a favorite in the playoffs. On May 24th, the Southwest Vice-President disenchanted the WSV with a surprising 2-0 away win in front of 32,000 spectators in the stadium at the Zoo. The FKP started attacking with Brill, Seebach, Dausmann, Kapitulski and Weishaar and the agile center forward Hugo Dausmann scored both goals. Eight days later, Weishaar and colleagues prevailed 2-1 in the second leg and again Dausmann had scored both goals. Carried by this success against Wuppertal, Pirmasens also went into the opening game of season 2 against the clear promotion favorites Alemannia Aachen, who had won the championship in the western league with seven points ahead of Wuppertal. Recognized experts such as Branko Zebec , Christian Breuer , Alfred Glenski , Josef Martinelli , Erich Hahn and Herbert Gronen seemed ripe for the Bundesliga. Driven by director Kapitulski and with striker Dausmann in the lead, the FKP also prevailed against the “potato beetles” 3-0. Four days later, on June 10th, center forward Walter Rodekamp decided with two goals in the second half the game in front of 55,000 spectators in the Lower Saxony Stadium for Hannover 96 and immediately became the favorite for promotion to the Bundesliga. The second away game led Pirmasens four days later, on June 14, to the southern champions KSV Hessen Kassel. In the Auestadion Pirmasens achieved a 4-1 away win. In the immediate second leg, the team around Horst Assmy , Rolf Fritzsche, Klaus-Peter Jendrosch and Ernst Kuster turned the tables with a 4-2 win. In the two final games against Hanover (0: 4) and Aachen (1: 5) the strengths were exhausted and the vigor was gone, the FKP finished the promotion round with 4: 8 points. Weishaar played in all games - in the two qualifying games as well as in the six group games. Dausmann had scored four goals in qualifying and five in the group games.

After falling to 7th place in 1964/65, playmaker Kapitulski had switched to the Bundesliga for 1. FC Kaiserslautern, the FKP returned to success in 1965/66. Coach Kurt Sommerlatt's team won the championship with one point ahead of 1. FC Saarbrücken . Especially with the two talented newcomers Georg Jung and Roland Weida as well as Dieter Weinkauff , who came from a young age , the team was strengthened. Weishaar stood out as a triple scorer in the 5-2 away win on March 6, 1966 at SV Alsenborn. In the promotion round, the southwest champion then played unexpectedly strong. He started with a 1-1 draw at Hertha BSC, which surprised the 80,000 spectators in the Olympic Stadium, since Hertha with players like Wolfgang Fahrian , Otto Rehhagel , Jürgen Sundermann , Hans Eder , Hans-Joachim Altendorff , Lothar Groß , Michael Krampitz , Kurt Schulz , Lutz Steinert and Willibert Kremer had been traded as clear favorites for promotion, at most in the Westmeister Fortuna Düsseldorf, the Berliners had seen an actual competitor. In the first home game on June 8th, Weishaar brought FKP 1-0 lead in the 17th minute against Fortuna Düsseldorf and at the final whistle the home team celebrated a 3-2 win against the West Champion. When the FKP was able to score three points from the two games against Kickers Offenbach for the players Hermann Nuber , Engelbert Kraus , Siegfried Gast and Gerd Becker , the Southwest representative suddenly became an aspirant for promotion. However, Düsseldorf prevailed in the home game 2-0 against Weishaar and colleagues, so that the 2-1 home win on June 26 against Hertha BSC only resulted in a tie of 8: 4 between Pirmasens and Düsseldorf. Fortuna rose thanks to the goal quotient of 2.13 compared to 1.25 for the FKP in the Bundesliga. Weishaar had played all six promotion round matches and scored three goals. Pirmasens should never come so close to promotion to the Bundesliga.

In 1970 and 1971, the meanwhile veteran belonged again to two vice-championship teams of the FKP. But now he played in the 4: 3: 3 system in midfield and distinguished himself as a corner kick and free kick specialist, Peter Gutzeit and Helmut Theobald were primarily responsible for the goals. The 31-year-old scored two goals each in the games against FV Speyer (4: 1), 1. FC Saarbrücken (5: 2) and Wormatia Worms (5: 0). Overall, he came in the 1970/71 season in 24 league appearances on nine goals. Weishaar completed his last Bundesliga promotion round game on June 27, 1971 in a 2: 5 away defeat at newly promoted VfL Bochum. With 7: 9 points he took 3rd place, tied with VfL Osnabrück in 2nd place. Now the names of his teammates were Klaus Pudelko (goalkeeper), Werner Tretter, Robert Jung, Horst Brill, Peter Bernhardt, Dieter Gerhards, Willi Schuster, Gerd-Walter Wolf, Guntram Gentes and Helmut Theobald.

After the end of the 1971/72 season, the 32-year-old senior said goodbye after a total of 245 regional league games with 70 goals after 14 league years at FK Pirmasens and went back to the amateur camp at his home club FC Rodalben. Weishaar completed his last regional league game under coach Michael Pfeiffer on May 7, 1972 in a 0-1 home defeat against Eintracht Trier. Only at the start of the round on August 15, 1971, at the home game against SV Alsenborn, he was not in action. In his 14th round at FK Pirmasens he played again in 29 association games and scored six goals.

Amateur and profession

With Rodalben he won the first ever Südwest Pokal against SG Eintracht Bad Kreuznach Amateure on June 8, 1974 4: 3 a.s. and qualified for the DFB on July 27, 1974 with a 4: 3 against SV Südwest Ludwigshafen -Pokal 1974/75, where they then failed in the first main round with 0: 1 n.V. at TSV Bleidenstadt. In the 1974/75 round, Weishaar was runner-up with Rodalben in the Amateur League Southwest and failed in the quarter-finals for the German amateur championship at the later German amateur champion VfR OLI Bürstadt.

Professionally, Weishaar was the long-time driver of the Pirmasens Lord Mayor.
