The young striker Horst Barth moved to the black and yellow from Maschpark , the Göttingen 05 , in the 1953/54 round under coach Fritz Rebell after the departure of the striker Günter Schlegel to Hamburger SV, in the football Oberliga Nord on the offensive in the regular formation . He made his debut in what was then the highest German division - regionally divided into five leagues - on August 9, 1953 at the home game against Arminia Hannover on the left wing. The game ended 1-1 in a draw. In total, the new league came in his first league round on 28 missions and scored eight goals. Göttingen took 10th place in the table. At the side of the teammates Heinz Knopp , Wilhelm Koschinski , Gerhard Schaff and Karl Wasch , he played 121 league games for Göttingen from 1953 to 1958 in the Oberliga Nord and scored 40 goals. After relegation in the round in 1957/58 under coach Josef Kraatz , he accepted the offer from Werder Bremen and moved to the Weser.

Under the coach Georg Knöpfle , who came at the same time , he always belonged to the main lineup in attack at SV Werder for the next four rounds, 1958/59 to 1961/62, and ended up in second place four times with his new club. In the first Werder year, 1958/59, he played 26 games and scored ten goals. The attack series with Günter Wilmovius , Willi Schröder , Klaus Hänel , Arnold Schütz and Barth scored 89 goals and was only surpassed by the champions Hamburger SV with 98 goals. The title win was guaranteed by the HSV defense, which only conceded 28 goals, while the green-whites conceded an impressive 57 goals.

In the competition of the DFB Cup 1960/61 "Bartsche" was a center forward in the games against 1. FC Köln, Karlsruher SC (semi-finals) and in the final on September 13, 1961 in Gelsenkirchen against 1. FC Kaiserslautern.
