Career

The right wing striker Hellwig began his career at Arminia Bielefeld . With the Arminia, Hellwig rose in 1949 to what was then the first-class Oberliga West . After only one game for Bielefeld, he was sentenced to six months in prison in the former Sachsenhausen concentration camp for illegally possessing weapons . Since the camp commandant was enthusiastic about Hellwig's footballing skills, he released him. Hellwig then made two games in the GDR upper league for BSG KWU Erfurt before returning to East Westphalia-Lippe .

Hellwig joined the second division TSV Detmold , for which he scored ten goals in 28 games. In the summer of 1951 he returned to Arminia Bielefeld, but had to relegate to the amateur camp with the Bielefeld team in 1954. Hellwig then received numerous offers and could have played as a professional in France . Instead, he decided to move to the top division club Eintracht Braunschweig , for which he scored 19 goals in 95 games by 1959. He then played for another four years for the amateur team of Eintracht. In the 1957/58 season Hellwig reached the runner-up in the Northern League under coach Kurt Baluses with Eintracht. He had completed 25 league games (1 goal) alongside the two goal scorers Werner Thamm and Ernst-Otto Meyer . Hellwig, who has now moved into defense, played all three games against FC Schalke 04 (1: 4), Karlsruher SC (1: 2) and Tennis Borussia Berlin (8: 3) in the final round of the German championship.

On June 14, 1953, Karl-Heinz Hellwig played his first and only international match for the German national B team in a 5-2 win over Spain in Düsseldorf . Hellwig stormed in the DFB attack on the side of Josef Röhrig , Paul Lipponer , Alfred Pfaff and Hans Schäfer . A year later, he was on a 33-strong list from which the then national coach Sepp Herberger called his squad for the 1954 World Cup . Hellwig was not part of the squad.
