In his first season, 1968–69, Alemannia Aachen finished in second place, which was a great start!
After one year, in 1970, Jupp moved to 1. FC Köln. Alemannia Aachen was unfortunately relegated (moved down a league) that year. At 1. FC Köln, Jupp became a regular player in the midfield. He helped the team finish second in the Bundesliga and the DFB-Pokal (German Cup) in the 1972–73 season.

He also won the Bundesliga title with Bayern in 1973–74. In 1976, his team won the Intercontinental Cup, which was a match between the best teams from Europe and South America.
