Both games ended 1: 1 and the "Veilchen" won the Berlin championship ahead of Spandau and Tasmania. With his teammates Helmut Beekmann , Erhard Foit , Willi Kraus , Wolfgang Seeger and Bernd Sobek , Eggert moved into the Bundesliga promotion round in 1965 against competitors FC Bayern Munich , 1. FC Saarbrücken and Alemannia Aachen . On the first day of the promotion round, May 29, 1965, Eggert got to know the skill level of the later promoted Bayern Munich and how dangerous the young center forward Gerd Müller was . The Munich team prevailed in Berlin with two Müller goals 2-0. The young defender played all six games for Borussia in the promotion round and finished fourth with his team-mates with 3: 9 points.

There followed in 1966, 1967, 1968 and 1970 four runners-up championships in Berlin and the unsuccessful attempts two to four - 1967, 1968, 1970 - in the Bundesliga promotion round. The names of the players changed from Bernd Gersdorff , Georg Damjanoff , Werner Lungwitz , Horst Lunenburg , Lutz Steinert and Michael Krampitz to Gino Ferrin .

In the last year of the old second-rate regional leagues, 1973/74 , Eggert, who has now been playing Tennis Borussia for the tenth year, won the Berlin championship with his team before Wacker 04 . On January 1, 1973, coach Georg Gawliczek took over the training and led the "Veilchen" to the championship with 103:19 goals and 63: 3 points. The round began with a 3-0 home win on August 26, 1973 against Spandauer SV. In 1974, in his fifth round of promotion to the Bundesliga, Eggert made a surprising promotion to the Bundesliga with Tennis Borussia.

The two games against the southern champions Augsburg - with ex-national players Helmut Haller and Herbert Höbusch - each ended 2-2 in May 1974. In the decisive promotion game against St. Pauli on June 5, the defensive boss Eggert in front of 18,000 spectators in the Poststadion gave Berliners a 2-1 lead in the 81st minute with a header.

Bundesliga and second division, 1974 to 1977

In the first Bundesliga game of Tennis Borussia Berlin on August 24, 1974 Eggert formed the central defense of the promoted team with the 34-year-old newcomer Karl-Heinz Schnellinger from AC Milan . In the 5-0 defeat at Eintracht Braunschweig , the two defensive strategists could not give the defense the necessary support. Eggert came in the 1974/75 round - TeBe was relegated to the 2nd Bundesliga in 17th place - a total of eleven appearances and scored one goal. It was 2-2 in the first leg against FC Bayern Munich in the 87th minute. Under the new coach Helmuth Johannsen , the "Veilchen" started the second division season 1975/76 on August 9, 1975 with a 3-0 away defeat at Göttingen 05 , but the central defense with Peter Eggert and Norbert Siegmann established itself immediately and became a support a successful round. Tennis Borussia won the championship two points ahead of Borussia Dortmund - both games against Westphalia were lost - and thus returned immediately to the Bundesliga. The defender demonstrated his worth for the team in 37 games and scored two goals, while teammate Norbert Stolzenburg took the top scorer's crown with 27 goals.

In his 13th year with the "Purple-Whites", 1976/77, the 33-year-old tackled the adventure of the Bundesliga again. Since the confident promotion coach Johannsen had left for the Grasshopper Club Zurich in Switzerland , and two top performers in the team, Stolzenburg and Siegmann, had changed, TeBe did not go into the new round of football with the new coach Rudi Gutendorf with the best possible qualifications. Bundesliga. On the start day of the 1976/77 round, the "Veilchen" defied Rot-Weiss Essen from a 2-2 draw, the senior was active as a sweeper . On the fifth match day, however, he experienced the debacle of the 9-0 defeat against Bayern Munich in the Munich Olympic Stadium . Gutendorf tried to add more quality to the TeBe defensive with the rounds Volkmar Groß and Libero Dieter Hochheimer , but at the end of the round the Berliners were relegated to the second division again as 17th. Eggert completed his last Bundesliga game on November 13, 1976 in the derby, which was lost 2-0 against Hertha BSC .

The trained shipbuilder ended his playing career in the summer of 1977 and held the position of assistant coach at Tennis Borussia for the next few years.
