Bernd Helmschrot is a former German footballer. He played as a goalkeeper. Helmschrot began his career with Hannover 96 and made his professional debut for the club in a 2-2 draw with Hamburger SV in the Bundesliga on 17 February 1968. He remained as Hannover's first-choice goalkeeper for the next nine months, but after losing his position due to injury, he struggled to re-establish himself in the starting line-up. In 1968 he toured east Asia with the West Germany amateur international squad, making two appearances. He left Hannover in 1971 for TSV 1860 M�nchen, where he was managed by former West Germany international goalkeeper Hans Tilkowski. Helmschrot went on to play for Kickers Offenbach, Olympia Wilhelmshaven, Viktoria K�ln and Fortuna K�ln, for whom he played in the 1983 final of the DFB cup, which his team lost 1-0 to local rivals 1. FC K�ln. After retiring in 1987 he worked as an advertising manager.
