career

At Bundesliga club Eintracht Braunschweig , the young offensive talent from their own amateur team - such as Wolf-Rüdiger Krause and Wolfgang Grzyb - was part of the extended squad of the licensed team in 1965/66. However, in the year before winning the championship in 1967, coach Helmuth Johannsen did not use Halbe in the Bundesliga. However, the talent received invitations for the amateur national team from the DFB. He made his debut on October 27, 1965 in Wiesbaden in the international match against Finland in the German amateur team, as did his club mate Krause. The two Braunschweig talents formed the right wing of the DFB-Elf, who won 6-2. Krause scored two and half a goal. In March and June 1966, the amateur internationals against France and Italy were added for Halbe. At the same time, together with Krause and Grzyb, he was also successfully active in the selection of Lower Saxony's associations as part of the regional cup . About the stations Bremen, Niederrhein and in the semifinals against North Baden, the Lower Saxony had played in the 1965/66 season in the final on June 17, 1966 in Minden against Westphalia. Against the amateur national team colleagues Friedhelm Schulte , Erhard Ahmann , Dieter Mietz and Dieter Zorc as well as the offensive talent Dietmar Erler could not prevail and lost the final with 0: 1. Since the 20-year-old did not have realistic chances of playing in the Bundesliga squad for the 1966/67 round, he moved to TuS Celle in the summer of 1966.

In the blue and yellow from the stadium on Nienburger Strasse , things did not go well, only a 9th place was at the end of the round in 1966/67, but in the amateur national team Halbe made three more appearances. These included the two international matches in October and November 1966 against Yugoslavia and Turkey in the UEFA Amateur Cup competition . The half-forward played his sixth and last game in the DFB amateur team on April 12, 1967 in Gladbeck in a 4-0 win against the Netherlands. In his second year in Celle, 1967/68, he and his team made it to the Regionalliga Nord.

In the then substructure of the Bundesliga, the promoted team was concerned with staying up in the 1968/69 round. In March 1969, Fritz Schollmeyer took over the coaching position at TuS, which was in danger of being relegated. On the last day of the match, May 24, 1969, VfB Lübeck came to Celle with the prospect of the runner-up and thus entry into the Bundesliga promotion round. In front of 10,973 spectators, Reinhard Surkau Celle took the lead 1-0 in the 39th minute, but VfB equalized in the 70th minute with Helmut Hosung and five minutes later Otto Hartz headed the game to make it 2-1 Away success for Lübeck. The simultaneous 1: 2 home defeat of Sperber Hamburg against Holstein Kiel helped Celle to stay up through the better goal quotient. Halbe had scored six goals in 31 league games. With Dieter Perau they had an accurate goal scorer for the second round in 1969/70, but the team around Rüdiger Halbe could not move into the secured midfield. For the round 1970/71, the previous defender Hannes Baldauf took over the coaching office. In the first half of the season, however, Halbe and colleagues only got 14:20 points with just five wins and four draws. The good second half of the season with 19:15 points brought in 10th place. In 1972 Celle again took 10th place.

For the 1972/73 season Emil Izsó took over the coaching position at the half-eleven. But it was a round with only 22:46 points and with that the team around Heinz Bode, Hans-Jürgen Mumme, Christoph Schenk and Rüdiger Halbe went back to the amateur camp after the fifth regional league year. Ex-amateur national player Halbe had played 151 regional league games for Celle from 1968 to 1973 and scored 22 goals.
