Career

Black and white food

Trimhold, who grew up in the Essen district of Altenessen , had a close connection to football from childhood - just like his younger brother Holger - through his father Heinrich, who went hunting for goals as a Gauliga player for the ETB . At the age of 18 he was already able to celebrate triumph in the 1959 DFB Cup with Schwarz-Weiß Essen . He made his debut in the Oberliga West on September 27, 1959 in the 2: 3 defeat at Fortuna Düsseldorf . Eight days before the cup final, he convinced in his second league game in the 5-0 home win against Westfalia Herne on December 20 with his two goals so that he actually played in the final as an 18-year-old. On December 27, 1959, Essen won the cup final 5-2 against Borussia Neunkirchen . On the side of Theo Klöckner , Hans Küppers and Heinz Steinmann, the young talent was able to contribute a goal to the superior victory. The sporty high on the Uhlenkrug in December 1959 was followed by sporty sadness in spring 1960. The 1959 cup winner rose from the Oberliga West at the end of the 1959/60 season. That was also part of the young talent's experience. Immediately succeeded the black and whites the rise, with Horst Trimhold in the 2nd League West was the best ETB goalscorer. From the 1961/62 season Trimhold and his comrades Theo Klöckner and Heinz Steinmann played again with the ETB in the league. Hans Küppers had left the Gruga city for Munich.

In the Oberliga West Trimhold came from 1959 to 1963 to 71 games with 31 goals. National coach Sepp Herberger tested the Essen talent on May 6, 1962 at a game between the junior national team in Aachen against France. In the first international match after the 1962 World Cup in Chile, Horst Trimhold made his debut in the 3-2 win on September 30, 1962 in Zagreb against Yugoslavia in the national team . After the second use on October 24, 1962 in the junior national team in Lyon in the 0-1 defeat against France, his career in the DFB selection teams ended . After the 1962/63 season, like Klöckner, Rummel and Steinmann ETB, he too turned his back.

Bundesliga player

With the start of the Bundesliga , he moved to Eintracht Frankfurt in 1963/64 . He played for the German champions of the year 1959 to 1966 and came to 71 games and 15 goals in the Bundesliga. In the first season 1963/64 he moved back into a DFB Cup final . Eintracht lost the final but 2-0 against TSV 1860 Munich . In the three rounds at Eintracht Frankfurt he came in third, eighth and seventh with the team and had to deal with three coaches. Old master Paul Oßwald was responsible for the premiere round. The former stopper Ivica Horvat took over in 1964/65 , and Elek Schwartz was at the control desk in the third round of the Bundesliga . Under his guidance, the transformation from the technically inclined combination player on the wing into a strong-running ball distributor and game designer for the midfield took place.

Trimhold, however, moved back to the west. He signed a new contract for the 1966/67 season with the 1966 European Cup winner, Borussia Dortmund , and moved to Borsigplatz . In the European Cup , the defending champion failed in the 2nd round at Glasgow Rangers . In the narrow 1: 2 first leg defeat in Glasgow, Trimhold scored the interim 1: 1 for Borussia, but this was not enough for the progression due to the goalless draw at home. The good 3rd place in the Bundesliga under the new coach Heinz Murach was not recognized as a success. Heinz Murach had nothing to oppose the habitus of his predecessor Willi Multhaup , also because of the failure in the European Cup. Horst Trimhold experienced in the two following rounds 1967/68 and 1968/69 then slipping in the table to ranks 14 and 16. After the intermediate high with fifth place in the 1969/70 season, he ended his Bundesliga after the round 1970/71 -Career. On the 32nd matchday in the home game against Borussia Mönchengladbach on May 22, 1971, he completed his last Bundesliga minutes as a substitute in the 75th minute of the game. At the side of Sigfried Held , Willi Neuberger , Jürgen Schütz and Werner Weist , he had again contributed to the success of the round in the 1970/71 round for Borussia Dortmund in midfield as a technical hard worker. He played a total of 167 Bundesliga games from 1963 to 1971, scoring 27 goals.

Trimhold moved back to Frankfurt, but this time to the stadium on Bornheimer Hang to FSV Frankfurt in the Hessian Amateur League and to build up a business existence.

FSV Frankfurt

From the summer of 1971 "Schotte" Trimhold played with FSV Frankfurt in the Hessian amateur league . On July 8, 1972, the Bornheim captain scored the winning goal for the FSV in the 90th minute of play in the final of the German amateur championship against TSV Marl-Hüls . In the following year, he was promoted to the Regionalliga Süd . In the last regional league round in 1973/74 as the foundation of the Bundesliga, he played 33 games and scored seven goals for the Bornheimer. From December 1973 he was also employed as an interim trainer. In the 1974/75 season , the FSV, together with its veteran and playmaker as champions of the Hessen League, achieved direct promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga South . Trimhold brought it in the three rounds 1975/76 , 1976/77 and 1977/1978 in the 2nd Bundesliga South to 103 games with six goals. At the age of 37, he played 31 games in his last season.
