The following season his team finished third. In the following seasons - even during the First World War - his club played no special role, which was also reflected in the placements ( 1914/15 : 6th, 1915/16 and 1916/17 : 10th, 1917/18 : 11th place). , 1918/19 : 13.) reflected.

At the side of the later Hertha BSC star Johannes Sobeck , he won the championship and moved into the final round of the German championship. But then 1. FC Nürnberg again proved to be too high a hurdle on May 11, 1924 in Berlin's Grunewald Stadium: The Berlin champions lost the quarter-finals with 1: 6 and the "Club" also beat them 2-0 in the final Hamburger SV through. In the following game year, 1924/25 , Alemannia was again able to take part in the German finals as runner-up from Brandenburg , but here too Wolter, Sobeck and Fritz Bache failed in the second round with 1: 2 at Duisburg SpV .
