For a time, Zieschang was in charge of the working group of sports institutes at the Bavarian state universities. Another milestone in his university career was the establishment of the sports economics course in 1985 , making the University of Bayreuth a pioneer throughout Germany.

From 1990 to 1993, Zieschang, as a founding member of the Technical University of Chemnitz-Zwickau, was in charge of the creation of the new sports science teaching and research structures. He then concentrated again on his activities at the University of Bayreuth, where he was dean of the Faculty of Cultural Studies in 1998 and 1999.
