Schwarz-Weiß Essen academy product Bernhard Kellerhoff rose through the ranks of the West German team and reached championship play-offs 1925 where Essen were eliminated by FSV Frankfurt. In April 1926 Eintracht Frankfurt signed the left winger. In the 1929–30 he was banned for two months after slapping an opponent player during a tough match with SpVgg Griesheim 02. This ban meant that he missed Eintracht's South German championship run in 1930. A heavy knee injury during an encounter against Mainz sidelined him for good that meant a timely career end.

Despite being presumed to be one of the best left wingers of his time he was never called up for the national team. A football magazine reckoned that his exaggerated dribbling might have played a role in this. However, he was called up to the West and South German regional selections.

Kellerhoff worked as a tie merchant.
