JeanMarc, are you sure about main position for second set? Aachen usually played in a 2-3-5 at that time, with Zebec as center-half
One example from a match against Schwarz-Weiss Essen in 1962:
-------------------Prokop-------------------------
---------------Krisp-----Nievelstein--------------
------Martinelli----Zebec------Breuer-----------
-----------Glenski-------Laumann---------------
------Esser------Bergstein------Broichhausen--
After Martinelli was used as CF in the following seasons, Thelen used to play alongside Zebec and Breuer:
Alemannia Aachen - Arminia Bielefeld (26/04/1964)
-------------------Prokop-------------------------
---------------Krisp-----Nievelstein--------------
--------Thelen----Zebec------Breuer-----------
-----------Glenski--------Hahn------------------
------Esser-----Martinelli-----Gronen-----------
Position could be changed but the choice is up to you

On "paper" it's shown like that but in reality on the pitch he was located as deep as Krisp and Nievelstein...All those formations in 50's and early 60's which look like 2-3-5 were actually 3-2-5 with center half now positioned in line or even behind side backs...

Okay, thanks for the info
Btw, in case you have some helpful infos regarding Aachen players from that time, it would be nice, if you could send me them I already have ideas for some of the players, for example Nievelstein or Hoffmann..

Somebody has some games of Zebec, I am interested to know how he plays since many forums value it with that ratio of attack and strange defense. It would be interesting to see his skills in his time.
