Career

Hans-Dieter Tippenhauer was born on 16 October 1943 in Merunen in East Prussia, the second son of Gertrud (nee Faltin) and Wilhelm Tippenhauer. His older brother Ulrich Tippenhauer (1942-1983) became a professor of mathematics at the Technical University of Kaiserslautern. 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.

After his own career as a soccer player in midfield for Eintracht Duisburg, which had brought him to the then second-class Regionalliga West in the 1966/67 season, he was able to start studying sports at the German Sport University Cologne thanks to the upgrade he had achieved. Here he acquired the teaching qualification for vocational schools and also the highest coaching licenses in football (1974 the A license and 1975 the football teacher's license), both of which he completed with a grade of 1.0. During his final year at the sports academy, he coached the sports academy's football team on behalf of the two chief trainers, Gero Bisanz and Karl-Heinz Heddergott, and at the same time coached the third-division club Godesberger FV. In 1974 he married. The marriage produced two children.

He started his coaching career in the Bundesliga in 1975 as an assistant coach at Eintracht Frankfurt alongside Dietrich Weise, which he remained under his successors Roos and Lóránt in the 1976/77 season. In 1977 he became assistant coach to Weise, who was now training Fortuna Düsseldorf. A year later he was promoted to head coach himself; under him the club finished seventh in the Bundesliga in 1978/79. Fortuna Düsseldorf achieved one of the best-known Bundesliga victories in their history when they defeated FC Bayern Munich 7-1 on 9 December 1978, inflicting their heaviest away defeat to date. On 16 September 1978 in Darmstadt, under Tippenhauer, the Flingerans also achieved the highest Bundesliga away win in their history with a 6:1 win. The team was also able to win the DFB Cup for the first time on 23 June 1979 with a 1-0 final victory over Hertha BSC. Fortuna led Tippen even played in the final of the European Cup Winners' Cup on 16 May 1979 in Basel's St. Jakob Stadium, which they lost 3-4 after extra time against FC Barcelona. 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.

Then he managed with the second division Arminia Bielefeld as the first in 1980 direct promotion to the Bundesliga. 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
