På hjemmebanen Hermann-Gieseler-Halle forblev SC Magdeburg ubesejret i hele perioden; unægtelig en fantastisk rekord. Afsluttede sin karriere i SG Hameln i 1992. Forinden var gået 276 landskampe for de stærke østtyske håndboldlandshold kulminerende med den olympiske guldmedalje ved OL Moskva 1980.

Andreas Thiel (Gummersbach, Dormagen og Flensburg-Handewitt) og Henning Fritz (SC Magdeburg og THW Kiel). - Har i 1995 udgivet en bog "Halten und Siegen" med den fremragende målmandskollega Henning FritzMen set i stort og langt perspektiv må Wieland Schmidt regnes som Tysklands absolut bedste håndboldmålmand gennem tiderne. - Jeg vil fra tilskuerpladsen tilføje: Verdens bedste håndboldmålmand nogensinde!

Wieland Schmidt, b. 23. Dec. 1953, was the constant goalkeeper at the famous Eastgerman handballteam from SC Magdeburg in the period of 1974- 89.
