A qualified merchant, Holz debuted for Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga in 1967 to serve for this club until his departure in 1981. A three times German Cup winner with them in 1974, 1975 and 1981, Hölzenbein also won the UEFA Cup with Frankfurt in 1980.

Managerial career

In 1988, he returned to Eintracht Frankfurt, taking the role of vice-chairman and enjoyed a growing reputation in the game as someone who has an eye for top-talents. He was seen as the main architect behind Frankfurt's rise to an undoubted top side of Bundesliga at the start of the 1990s, mainly because of adding players such as Uwe Bein, Anthony Yeboah and Andreas Möller to the clubs Bundesliga squad. This trio, together with sweeper Manfred Binz and goalkeeper Uli Stein was the driving force behind Eintracht's title bid in 1991–92, unfortunately missing out on the Bundesliga crown of 1992 due to a bad result on the final day of that season.

He was appointed as a scout with Eintracht Frankfurt in 2004.
