In the encounter that took place on October 30, 1955 at the ZSK Vorwärts Berlin , he was also used as the right runner. Hansen also played in midfield in the remaining five games of the transition round. In the 1956 season, Hansen was already a member of the SC Einheit Dresden team. Further called up as a midfielder, he played 22 of the 26 league games. On the 18th matchday he scored his first league goal in a 4-2 win over Motor Zwickau with the 2-0 intermediate result.
