Career

Detlef Langemann received his first assignments in 1963 for the first team of the Cologne EK , where he had previously played in the youth teams. In the team, which mostly played in the second-highest division at the time, the Oberliga , the striker quickly developed into a top performer. In 1966 he played a major role in the return to the league and in 1969 in the brief promotion to the Bundesliga . In the seasons 1966/67, 1968/69 and 1969/70 he was the team's top scorer. He spent the 1970/71 season at Prussia Krefeld before moving back to the KEK. In 1972 Langemann was one of those who pushed the hockey division away from the KEK to the newly founded EC in Cologne. With the KEC, he made it to the Bundesliga in his first year, from which the club has not been relegated to this day. In the first two seasons of the KEC, the left-handed scorer was the top scorer, in 1973/74 and 1975/76 he was the team's top scorer. In 1976/77 he won the first German championship in the club's history with the Haien . After winning the second title in 1978/79 , he ended his career. By then he had been captain of the team for four years .

Langemann played almost 200 games for the KEC in the Bundesliga in his career. He scored 71 goals and made 86 assists. In addition, there are around 400 missions for the KEK with around 200 goals. Despite strong performances over the years, he never came to a game for the national team for professional reasons.

After his active career, he stayed with the Haien and worked as a trainer in the junior division. In 1983 he was third in the championship with the KEC Juniors, with whom Uwe Krupp was playing at the time . He also founded the club's traditional team with other former KEC professionals, in which he still occasionally plays today. On November 22, 2011 his number # 14 was blocked by the Kölner Haien and his jersey was pulled under the roof of the Lanxess Arena as part of the derby against the DEG Metro Stars .
