As a striker of VfR Mannheim , he won the Gaume Championship five times in Baden in 1935, 1938, 1939, 1943 and 1944 and therefore completed 21 games in the finals of the German championship and scored seven goals.

career

The half-forward and winger had his most successful time at VfR Mannheim, where he played from 1934. The offensive player was discovered by ex-national player Hans Fleischmann at his home TSV Neuhofen and persuaded to switch to the blue-white-red lawn players in Mannheim. After the first championship in the Gauliga Baden in the season 1934/35 and the participation in the final round of the German championship against the competitors VfL Benrath, Phönix Ludwigshafen and the VfR 04 Cologne, he was already in the competition of the Reichsbundpokal in the rounds 1935 / 36 and 1936/37 included in the selection of Baden. During his time with the Palatinate, he made three international matches for the German national team. In his first international match against Luxembourg, he contributed two goals to the 3-2 win on March 21, 1937. It was a double day for the national team. The talents competed under the direction of the experienced captain Karl Hohmann in Luxembourg with the debutants Andreas Kupfer on the right wing and Karl Striebinger on the left wing. The established players came at the same time in Stuttgart with the attacking formation Ernst Lehner , Otto Siffling , August Lenz , Fritz Szepan and Adolf Urban to a 4-0 win against France. Kupfer and Striebinger were immediately brought back by Reich coach Sepp Herberger in the following international match on April 25 in Hanover against Belgium. In the 1-0 success of the DFB-Elf, the outstanding runner series played for the first time in the line-up with Kupfer, Ludwig Goldbrunner and Albin Kitzinger . In May, the VfR attacker took part in two test matches in Schweinfurt and Berlin in DFB selection teams against the English professional team Manchester City and scored two goals in a 3-2 win in the capital. The man from the Electoral Palatinate saw his third international match on February 6, 1938 in Cologne against Switzerland. The German attack occurred in the formation with Lehner, Urban, Siffling, Szepan and Striebinger. But it was only enough to a 1-1 draw against the defensive Riegel team from Switzerland, which was carefully directed by captain Severino Minelli . At the end of the month, on the 27th, the dangerous offensive player with Baden lost the semi-finals in the Reichsbundpokal in Hamburg against the selection of Nordmark.

In the group matches in the final round of the German championship in 1938 - March 27th to May 8th - the VfR eleven only narrowly missed the semi-finals against competitors from SV Dessau 05 , Berliner SV 92 and FC Schalke 04 . The men around Karl Vetter (goalkeeper), the defenders Albert Conrad / Eugen Rößling, the runner row with Philipp Henninger, Otto Kamenzien, Werner Feth and the attack with Kurt Langenbein , Philipp Rohr , Anton Lutz , Gustav Adam and Striebinger ended with equal points (8: 4 points) with “Royal Blue” the group games, but due to the better goal difference of Schalke, Mannheim had to make do with second place. On the last match day, May 8th, Striebinger and colleagues gave away the chance of group victory with a 1-1 draw at SV Dessau. In retrospect, the surprising 2-1 victory at Schalke on April 18 was of no use when Striebinger had taken the 2-0 lead in the 81st minute.

The tricky attacker with goal instinct was also in action in the Tschammer Cup with VfR Mannheim from 1935 to 1943. He played the last main round game on October 3, 1943 at Dresdner SC. At the end of 1939 his career was interrupted by a shin fracture, but the further use beyond his three missions in the national team was more due to the existing class on the position of the left winger in these years by Josef Fath , Adolf Urban, Hans Pesser , Leopold Neumer , Willi Arlt , Stanislaus Kobierski and August Klingler conditionally.

In 1949 he ended his playing career for VfR Mannheim after 76 games with 35 goals in the South Football League . The 35-year-old veteran had in the successful round of 1948/49 of the VfR - runner-up in the south and German champion on July 10, 1949 with a 3-2 after extra time against Borussia Dortmund - completed four games in the league with two goals. At the start of the season on September 11, 1948 - 3: 3 draw in the home game against 1. FC Nürnberg - he still contributed two goals, but with the game on January 9, 1949 at Bayern Munich, he said goodbye to the league eleven. With Rudolf de la Vigne a worthy successor for the ex-national player was at work.

He later coached clubs such as BC Augsburg , Karlsruher FV , Wormatia Worms , FV Speyer or SV Waldhof Mannheim .
