He later changed club colors within his home town and played from 1968 onwards for SG Dynamo Dresden.

In the 1971/72 season he replaced Manfred Kallenbach as goalkeeper of Dresden's first team and participated in the final of East German cup on 14 May 1972.

He made another 129 top league appearances, so its record increased to a total of 282 East German top-flight matches.

From 1972 to 1974, he was a member of the East German under-23 team which won the silver medal at the 1974 UEFA European Under-23 Championship.

The team reached the final after victories against Italy and Poland in the kock-out stages but lost eventually against Hungary.
