After attending elementary school in Dortmund, Hans-Dieter Tippenhauer passed his examination as an industrial clerk in 1961 at the age of 17 and subsequently worked in this field.
After completing 18 months of military service, in March 1967 he received his entrance qualification for a technical college in Essen and graduated from the Fachhochschule Dortmund in autumn 1969 with a degree in business administration.In the course of the reorganization and restructuring of the technical colleges and universities, he was awarded the diploma in business administration and thus the general higher education entrance qualification.
The 1979/80 season began for Fortuna with five losses in their first eight Bundesliga games, leading to Tippenhauer being replaced by Otto Rehhagel in October.
After ten days of play he was there with Arminia but in last place, which is why he was replaced in October by Willi Nolting, who himself soon had to give way to Horst Franz, under whom he managed to stay up.
[14][15] He received his doctorate in 2010 at the Westfälische Wilhelms-University of Münster on the "perceived influence of leading players in the Bundesliga" in the subject of sports psychology, on which he had worked for three and a half years.
