career

Hamburger SV, until 1965

In the 1958/59 season, the talented defensive player was appointed to the DFB youth national team for the first time on March 8 at a friendly against Austria in Coburg. In the 3-0 victory of the young German players, he played the role of center runner and Peter Kunter guarded the goal. At the end of March / beginning of April he was part of the DFB squad for the UEFA tournament in Bulgaria alongside Anton Regh , Karl-Heinz Bente , Werner Ipta , Gustav Flachenecker , Ernst Kreuz and Alfred Heiss . Stapelfeldt played in all three group matches against Yugoslavia (1-0), Bulgaria (0-2) and Holland (1-0).

Coach Günter Mahlmann brought the talented home grown up for the first time in the first half of the 1960/61 series on October 19, 1960 in a 1-0 home win against Holstein Kiel in the North Football League . He formed the defender couple with Jürgen Kurbjuhn . He completed a total of 8 league games in his first league round and was thus able to celebrate his first championship title in the Oberliga Nord. At the end of the round he was nominated by the DFB for the U23 team, who played an international match against Belgium on May 13, 1961 in Waterschei. Stapelfeldt played in his usual stopper position in the 3-1 success of the DFB-Elf and Günter Bernard guarded the goal. In the second year, 1961/62, there were only two more league appearances for him, against VfR Neumünster and Bremers SV. In the last year of the old league system, 1962/63, HSV under coach Martin Wilke made the change from long-time stopper Jochenfritz Meinke to Hubert Stapelfeldt. Meinke completed his last 17 league appearances and his successor came in 13 games. Including the last game of the Oberliga era on April 29, 1963, when the Rothosen lost the home game with 1: 3 goals against Hannover 96.

In the final round of the German soccer championship in 1963, Stapelfeldt completed all six games against Borussia Neunkirchen, 1860 Munich and Borussia Dortmund. The standard runner row was occupied by Jürgen Werner , Stapelfeldt and Dieter Seeler . In total, he completed 23 league games for Hamburger SV from 1960 to 1963.

The decision in the DFB Cup of 1963 was played out immediately before the round of the newly introduced Bundesliga , 1963/64, started. Stapelfeldt was the middle runner of HSV in the games against Bayern Hof, 1. FC Saarbrücken, Wuppertaler SV and also in the final on August 14, 1963 in Hanover against the reigning German champions Borussia Dortmund . The Hamburg team won the cup with three goals from Uwe Seeler with 3-0 goals.

With the momentum from the cup, the North German record champions tackled the challenge of the new Bundesliga. After nine match days, HSV was in second place in the table with 13: 5 points in the debut season and Stapelfeldt was in all games. From the eleventh day onwards, however, Willi Giesemann took over the central role and Stapelfeldt had only 14 appearances at the end of the round. In addition to the Bundesliga, he was used in three games in the European Cup Winners' Cup against Union Sportive Luxembourg and Olympique Lyon. In the second Bundesliga year, 1964/65, only the opening game was added on August 22, 1964, when he was under coach Georg Gawliczek and with his defensive colleagues Horst Schnoor , Lothar Kröpelin , Jürgen Kurbjuhn, Harry Behre and Peter Wulf in the home game against VfB Stuttgart reached a 2-2 draw.

Trier, 1965 to 1966

For the 1965/66 round, Stapelfeldt accepted an offer from Eintracht Trier from the Southwest Football Regionalliga and moved from the Elbe to the Moselle. Under coach Janos Gerdov , he took over his traditional stopper role and was in action for Eintracht in the first seven rounds. On October 3, 1965, however, he was so seriously injured in the away game against Ludwigshafener SC that he could no longer play an association game for Trier and had to end his playing career.

He returned to Hamburg and in later years worked as a trainer and manager at Elmshorner MTV, Altona 93 and Komet Blankenese, among others. Professionally, he was the chairman of the works council at Edeka Hamburg.
