When Bayer 04 were promoted to the second Bundesliga North in 1975 and the squad extended, Scheini was one of twelve new players to move under the Bayer Cross. He was joined by Fred Bockholt, Peter Klimke and Walter Posner, who together with Scheini formed a big part of the defensive line-up at the Werkself.
In his first season, Scheini played in defensive midfield due to his stamina and running. In the following years he plays more as a defender. Always tough against the opponents and with himself he is aware of his role at Bayer 04 together with his fellow defenders where he tries to prevent conceding goals and also for his team to again and again regain possession. When he'd done that he mostly played the ball to one of his teammates and rarely got involved with the Werkself attack. Nevertheless, he scored nine goals for Bayer 04 in 169 appearances – mainly from free kicks and corners where he often popped up in the opposition box with his aerial strength.
In 1979 he was promoted to the Bundesliga with Bayer 04 but only played 22 games in two years so he decided to move on to second division rivals Fortuna Köln in 1981. In 1984 he moved down a division to Victoria Köln where he ended his playing career.
Up to his retirement he worked for Bayer AG in purchasing.
Dear Scheini, many happy returns at 70! Have a good one and remain healthy.

On Sunday, 4 November 1951, the first league derby between Bayer 04 and FC Köln took place. The FC Köln stadium in Müngersdorf was absolutely bursting at the seams for this clash. A veritable invasion of Bayer 04 fans from Leverkusen set off for Cologne by tram and bus. From midday onwards, in addition to the scheduled services, six extra tram services ran at the standard fare from Leverkusen Town Hall to the stadium in Cologne.
