Club career
He became a player of Borussia at the age of 17. After three years in the youth team, he ended up in the main team, where he played the full season. But after the season, Hötgges moved to Bremen “Werder Bremen”, as the coach of the “stallions” Hannes Weisweiler believed that the defender needed to move on, but in Monchengladbach he could not do this.
At Werder Bremen, Horst was a huge success with head coach Willy Multaup . In his first season he became the champion of Germany. After this season, he was noticed by the head coach of the Bundestim Helmut Schön , who really liked the intransigence and fear of going to the end of the defender.

After completing a career, Horst played in amateur village clubs SC Oberbecksen and TSV Achim.
