Career

Hölzenbein came from the Amateur League Rhineland from FC Urbar for the 1961/62 season to TuS Neuendorf in the Southwest Football League . The attacker made his debut on August 6, 1961 in a 5-1 home win against 1. FC Kaiserslautern in the league. He acted on half right in the World Cup system at that time and had brought the hosts 1-0 lead in the 29th minute. The ex-amateur footballer played all 30 league games and scored 15 goals alongside other players such as Hans-Adolf Weis (21-17) and Otto Hölzemann (28-6). He ended the first-class league era on May 12, 1963 as a scorer to the 1-0 final score at the home game against third-placed FK Pirmasens. In total, the offensive player, who can be used in all attacking positions, had played 49 league games for the district club from Koblenz in the last two rounds of the old league system and scored 23 goals. For the first Bundesliga season 1963/64 he got a contract with the Südwestvertreter 1. FC Saarbrücken and moved to Saarland.

In addition to the attacker from Neuendorf, Heinz Steinmann and Werner Rinass also came to the Ludwigsparkstadion . Under coach Helmut Schneider , Hölzenbein made five Bundesliga appearances and scored one goal. He made his debut in the central league on December 14, 1963 in a 1: 4 away defeat against FC Schalke 04 on the left wing and scored the consolation goal for the Saarlanders. He could not prevail against the regular players in the attack like Erich Maas , Rinas, Dieter Krafczyk , Rainer Schönwälder and Heinz Vollmar . On April 18, 1964, he played his last Bundesliga game in a 3-2 home win against SV Werder Bremen. 1. FC Saarbrücken was last in the table with Hölzenbein and was relegated to the regional league with Preußen Münster in the first year of the Bundesliga. He stayed another year and scored 14 goals in 33 games in the second -rate regional soccer league Southwest and was able to celebrate the championship in the Southwest relay. The coaching office was taken over by the Saarland association coach Jupp Derwall . In the subsequent promotion round Saarbrücken failed at Bayern Munich . Hölzenbein had played all six games against Munich, Alemannia Aachen and Tennis Borussia Berlin and scored three goals. Saarbrücken won the home game against FC Bayern on June 5 with 1-0 goals; Hölzenbein stormed on the right wing. He returned to Neuendorf for the 1965/66 round.

In his old home he scored 22 goals in 27 games this season and finished fourth with TuS behind FK Pirmasens, 1. FC Saarbrücken and FSV Mainz 05. In the 4-2 home win against his former club 1. FC Saarbrücken on October 17, 1965, he distinguished himself as a triple goalscorer. In the two rounds in 1967/68 and 1968/69 , Hölzenbein and colleagues under coach Herbert Rappsilber won the runner-up with TuS Neuendorf twice, each behind SV Alsenborn . In the two rounds of promotion he was unable to achieve promotion to the Bundesliga with teammates such as Rudolf Krätschmer (goalkeeper), Helmut Horsch , Otto Jaworski, Hans Sondermann , Günter Funke, Rudolf Stracke, Alfred Brecht and Bernd Vogtmann. After a total of 131 regional league games with 53 goals in the Southwest Relay, as well as 20 rounds of promotion with eight goals, he ended his higher-class career in the summer of 1969.
