Timeline
Horst-Dieter Höttges (10 September 1943 – 22 June 2023) was a German professional footballer who played as a sweeper or right-back.
Having started his career with hometown club Borussia Mönchengladbach, he spent most of his career with Werder Bremen.
After three years in the youth of Mönchengladbach he was taking part for them in their Regionalliga West campaign of 1963–64 with Mönchengladbach manager Hennes Weisweiler feeling Höttges' way of playing was not what he was looking for and the defender was forced to move on.
He made 420 Bundesliga appearances for Werder Bremen, a club record for outfield players, scoring 55 goals and helped the club win the Bundesliga title in the 1964–65 season, his first at Werder Bremen.
Ahead of the 1964–65 season Höttges signed with Bundesliga team Werder Bremen and enjoyed immediate success under Willi Multhaup at the Weser-Stadion, ending up winner of the Bundesliga title with Werder at the end of the same season.
At international level, he represented West Germany from 1965 to 1974, amassing 66 caps and scoring 1 goal.
This outstanding success with Werder Bremen was a key for the full-back to be called up by Helmut Schön for the West Germany national team already in 1965, a time when his toughness in tackling duels earned him his "Eisenfuß" (iron foot) nickname.
Although Werder Bremen could not recopy the success of 1965, and became rather a relegation battler than a title chaser, Höttges remained loyal to them and served in the Bundesliga until 1978, scoring 55 goals in his 420 appearances for the North German side.
As of July 2023, he holds the club record number of Bundesliga appearances for outfield players.
His commitment to a half-a-day employment as sales representative for a manufacturer of sports goods forced him to hang up his boots that summer.
Höttges put job before club, unwilling to give up his business, and got named "Ehrenspielführer" (honorary captain) due to his career efforts by Werder Bremen.
On 13 March 1965, Horst-Dieter Höttges debuted for West Germany in a friendly against Italy (1–1) at Hamburg's Volksparkstadion.
His first of altogether three World Cup participations Höttges enjoyed in 1966 as part of the runner-up squad of West Germany in England.
He was further a member of the squad for the 1970 FIFA World Cup (third-place finish) and was a starter for his country in the UEFA Euro 1972 final against in Brussels on 18 June.
He and his teammates beat the Soviet Union that day to win Germany's first UEFA European Football Championship trophy.
Later on Höttges showed up for some time on amateur level for Bad Oeynhausen's SC Oberbecksen and TSV Achim, a club in a village near Bremen, where he settled down.
He was part of the West Germany squads that won the 1974 FIFA World Cup and the UEFA Euro 1972.
Born in Mönchengladbach, Höttges began playing football at local sides Blau-Weiß Dahl and Rheydter SV before joining Borussia Mönchengladbach at the age of 17.
Hamburg's Volksparkstadion was also the place where he won the last of his sixty-six caps for West Germany during the memorable first round defeat at the hands of East Germany in the 1974 FIFA World Cup.
The defeat of the West Germans in the politically and emotionally exaggerated match led coach Helmut Schön to significant changes in his line-up and limiting Höttges to a bench role was one of those.
It resulted in the defender's subsequent retirement from international football after the 1974 FIFA World Cup final West Germany won against their Dutch opponents.
He was partly coaching that club in an honorary capacity in the 1990s.
Höttges died from complications of dementia on 22 June 2023, at the age of 79.
