At the 1960 Olympic Winter Games and 1964 they won silver medals. The skaters had signed professional contracts and skated as professionals with Holiday on Ice before the 1964 Olympics, a violation of their amateur status and strict IOC rules. In 1966, because the team had signed a professional skating contract before the 1964 Winter Olympics – against the rules at the time – they were stripped of the medal. As the New York Times reported, "prodded by two German members, the IOC "quietly re-awarded the West Germans their silver medals in 1987, 23 years after the Innsbruck Games, at an executive board meeting in Istanbul. The couple was deemed 'rehabilitated.'"

In 1964 they turned professional and skated in the Vienna Ice Revue and later at Holiday on Ice.

Also, after their amateur figure skating career both became singers of German Schlagers (German version of pop songs). In the mid-1960s they recorded some songs together. Hans-Jürgen Bäumler had also some songs as a solo singer. Bäumler's greatest success was the song "Wunderschönes fremdes Mädchen". The most successful songs of the duo Kilius/Bäumler were "Wenn die Cowboys träumen" ("When Cowboys Dream") and "Honeymoon in St. Tropez" (both 1964).
