After he had played nineteen of 22 league games in 1951/52, he moved to the top division Dynamo Dresden for the 1952/53 season. There were 32 point games played, in which Duffke was used thirteen times mainly in the second half and mainly as a defender. Dynamo Dresden finished the season as champions. 1953/54 Duffke did not play in the league. When the league team was relocated from Dynamo Dresden to East Berlin in November 1954 and had to compete there as Dynamo Berlin, Duffke was one of those affected. However, he came only once in December 1954 in a league game as a substitute for use. In January 1955, several former Dresden players returned to Dresden and joined the new GDR league team SG Dynamo, which had emerged from the failed soccer section of the SC DHfK Leipzig . One of the returnees was Karl-Heinz Duffke, who played twelve of the remaining thirteen league games. The SG Dynamo Dresden rose at the end of the season in the new third-class II.
