After the 2003/04 season, in which they only lost in the semi-finals of the DFB Cup to eventual double winners SV Werder Bremen, Lübeck were relegated back to the Regionalliga Nord.
Following Dieter Hecking's move to Hannover 96 in September 2006, he initially continued to work as interim manager and coached the team in the DFB Cup match against Chemnitzer FC.
After Alemannia Aachen announced the appointment of Michael Frontzeck as Hecking's successor on 13 November 2006, Bremser left the club.
For the 2019/20 season, Hecking and Bremser moved to second-division club Hamburger SV in their usual constellation.
Sports director Jonas Boldt was unable to reach an agreement with Hecking on further cooperation, so Bremser also left HSV with him.
