Bergmaier played for three clubs in his hometown, Munich - TV 1888, FC Wacker, and, most notably, FC Bayern Munich, where he won the 1932 German football championship, scoring both goals in the final against Eintracht Frankfurt. Between 1930 and 1933 he won 8 caps for Germany, scoring once, in a 2–2 draw with Norway in 1932.
Bergmaier fought in World War II, and died in the Eastern Front on his 34th birthday.[citation needed] His former teammate Franz Krumm died in similar circumstances four days later.
