Within three seasons he had made 55 league appearances and scored 19 goals. For the 1966/67 season he moved to the upper division Wismut Aue, but came in his first season only to two league matches. In the next season he was already a regular player as a striker with 25 appearances in 26 point games and six goals scored. In the spring of 1968 he was appointed to the junior national team and played in two international matches. Then he was delegated to the football focus of the region, the FC Karl-Marx-Stadt (FCK). There, too, he was immediately a regular again in the 1968/69 season, because he was missing only five point games. He was used again as a striker as usual, but only scored three goals. In the following season 1969/70 he had to pause several times, completed only 16 league games and again scored only three goals. The FCK ended the season as relegated, but managed the immediate promotion. In this GDR league season Zeidler was only used sporadically in the first half of the season and could only play regularly in the second half of the season. In the 30 league games played, he was only used sixteen times, scoring four goals. In 1971/72 he found his way back to his old strength and this time was only absent from two league games. He continued to play in attack and again scored four goals. In the 1972/73 season, the 28-year-old Zeidler was only able to play six point games in the first half of the season, two of them only as a substitute. After the end of the season he moved to the GDR league promoted Motor Germania Karl-Marx-Stadt , where he was used in 1973/74 in twelve of 22 league games and scored three times. Thereafter, Karl-Heinz Zeidler ended his career as a player in higher-class football, in which he had come within twelve years to 94 league games with 16 goals and 71 games with 23 goals in the GDR league.
