From 1989 to 1992 he played for the Hamburger SV and switched then to VfL Wolfsburg[4] in the 2. Bundesliga. In 1997, Wolfsburg was promoted to the Bundesliga. In 2000, Dammeier joined Arminia Bielefeld in the 2. Bundesliga. With this club he was promoted both in 2002 and 2004 to the Bundesliga. He finally ended his active career at the end of the 2005–06 season.

Dammeier has successfully completed the 14-day training course for a Trainer-B-Lizenz for this job. On 10 December 2007, after the dismissal of Ernst Middendorp, he became interim coach of Arminia, which he only oversaw in the last first round game against VfB Stuttgart (2-0);[5] after the game, Michael Frontzeck was introduced as the new head coach.[6]

On 20 March 2008, Detlev Dammeier became Arminia Bielefeld's new sporting director, succeeding Reinhard Saftig, whom the club had previously fired. Dammeier signed a contract until the end of June 2009. He also held the post of coach of the second team of Arminia Bielefeld until the end of the season.
