As a high school graduate, Raab was delegated by his first sports community, the company sports community Einheit Triebes , to the regional football focus, FC Carl Zeiss Jena. After appearances in the GDR junior league, he was nominated a year later at the age of 17 for the first team that played in the GDR league. On the 11th day of the 1976/77 season, he played his first league game. In the match between FC Hansa Rostock and FC Carl Zeiss (1: 2) he was substituted on in the 75th minute. Another three short assignments were added at the end of the season. Also in the 1977/78 season, Raab remained a substitute, but has already played in 18 league point games, alternating in attack and in midfield. In 1978/79 he made the leap to become a regular player. As a center forward, he completed all 26 league games and was Jena's most accurate player with ten goals.

Overall, the 1.82 m tall Raab managed to become the top scorer of FC Carl Zeiss in nine seasons, although he was used as a midfielder from 1985. He scored his most points goals in 1985/86, when he landed with twelve hits in second place on the GDR scorers list. Spared from serious injuries, he played almost all of the season's point games from 1978 to 1992. With his 342 league games, Raab is third behind the Ducke brothers in Jena's record list. His 114 league goals also earned him third place in the Jena top scorer list behind Peter Ducke (153) and Eberhard Vogel (118). While Raab only achieved the best result in the GDR championship with the 1981 runner-up, in 1980 he won the GDR soccer cup with FC Carl Zeiss . In the 3-1 win over FC Rot-Weiß Erfurt on May 11, 1980, he scored the interim 1-1 equalizer in the 81st.

The last East German league season 1990/91 ended the FC Carl Zeiss in the table sixth and qualified for the 2nd Bundesliga. Raab was again the best attacker of the Jena team with seven goals and made a significant contribution to the qualification with 24 point matches. Also in the 1991/92 season of the 2nd Bundesliga Raab was part of the player base and played 30 of the 33 point games played in midfield. Raab was also part of the Jena team in the first four second division games of the 1992/93 season. But unexpected was the 4th day of the last game in Raab's career as a competitive athlete.
