After beginning his career with Arminia Bielefeld, Eigenrauch went on to spend twelve years with FC Schalke 04, being regularly used during nine of his first ten. He contributed with eight matches in the club's victorious UEFA Cup campaign in 1996–97, and assisted Belgium's Marc Wilmots in the 1–0 home win over Inter Milan, in the final's first leg.
After two injured-ravaged seasons from 2000–02 (no league matches in the latter season), Eigenrauch retired from the game, aged 31. During his career, the defender only collected 15 yellow cards, and was never sent off.
