Becoming a Key Player
After a slow start, Hermann became a very important defensive player for Werder Bremen. He often played in the middle of the field with the famous player Miroslav Votava. In the 1987–88 season, he played in 30 matches. Werder Bremen won the national championship that year, their first in 23 years!

He then joined another first-division team, SG Wattenscheid 09, helping them stay in the top league. He finished his playing career in the second division with Hannover 96. He retired when he was almost 36 years old. After retiring, he started managing amateur football teams, mainly with VSK Osterholz-Scharmbeck.
