For the 1960 season, Basel moved to the upper league promoted SC Chemie Halle and played there 20 of the 26 upper league point games. He was mainly used as a right half-forward. After only one year, Basel left Halle and returned to SG Dynamo Hohenschönhausen, which was now playing in the second-rate first GDR league . Basel only had one season again, but due to the adjustment to the summer-spring rhythm, it ran over 39 point games. In the summer of 1962 he joined the TSC Oberschöneweide , which had been promoted to the first GDR league. In February 1963 he was one of the players who were taken over by the merged TSC Berlin . Three years later he joined the TSC soccer section for the outsourced 1. FC Union Berlin . As a 29-year-old regular player, he was involved in promotion to the league in 1966. He then ended his career as a football player.
Coaching career

In 1970 he was taken over by the GDR Football Association , where he also worked as a youth coach. Among other things, he was temporarily the assistant coach of the GDR youth national team and chief coach of the junior team.
