Breitensträter, like many other German boxers, came to boxing during the First World War in the prisoner of war camp on the Isle of Man.
He began his professional career in August 1919. Breitensträter became a new type of professional athlete at the time and very soon became a star. He was charismatic, blond (called: Blonder Hans), handsome and well-trained, played the violin, grew orchids and collected stuffed bears. He boxed an attractive attacking style.
As early as October 1919, he fought for the German championship for the first time, but lost on points to the defending champion Otto Flint. But just six months later, he won the championship title in a rematch against Flint with a knockout victory.
