In the first three years as a licensed player - the first two of them as a contract amateur - he was hardly used. In the fourth year (1983/84), however, he made his final breakthrough as a professional footballer. From then on, Schröder was part of the regular line-up of Hamburger SV, where he made 118 appearances between 1980 and 1986 - including 90 Bundesliga games - in which he scored 19 goals. He was appointed to the German national team for the European Championship qualifier in Portugal in 1985, but was not used. He made seven international matches for the German U-21 national team .
