For the 1977/78 season, Schorrig moved to the league promoted BSG Wismut Gera, who wanted to strengthen himself with a new striker. Schorrig played in the league from the start and established himself as the regular left winger of the Geraer during the season. With only one goal in his 19 league appearances, his success was moderate, and his team did not manage to stay in the league.
