Career

societies

Hochgesang began playing football at the age of eight at FC Pfeil Nürnberg , which emerged from FC Normannia Nürnberg, which was founded in 1905 . From 1916 he came in the first team to 1921 for point games, the club since 1911 called FK Pfeil in the gymnastics club 1863 Tafelhof , since 1918 FC Pfeil / SC Sandow Nuremberg , to point games. In the 1919/20 and 1920/21 seasons he played in the championships organized by the South German Football Association in the Northern Bavarian Regional League .

For the 1921/22 season he was obliged by 1. FC Nuremberg , in whose heyday he was able to record his greatest successes as a half-forward . During his seven-year membership in the club, he won several regional titles and the German championship three times . He played 259 games for the club, ten of them in the final round of the German championship, in which he scored six goals.

With a body length of 1.65 m, he made up for this shortcoming with his outstanding technique. He is considered to be the inventor of a special kind of passing game. He jumped steeply and high up and gave a long pass to the wing in question to the left and right of the top dead center of this jump. At the same time, he should be the only one who mastered this type of pass. Otherwise, it was said that he was not the fastest and that his shots did not always hit the goal. Nevertheless, he was characterized by an overview of the game, cold-bloodedness and dangerous goals.

Since he was a pretty good professional offer from a trained mechanic Dusseldorf received, he moved to the season 1928/29 to Fortuna Dusseldorf for which he in the West German's Association organized championships until end of season 1932/33 in Mark Berg district denied point games and won the district championship in 1931 and 1933 . As a result, he took part with the Düsseldorf team in the final round of the German Championship, which he won on June 11, 1933 in Cologne with the 3-0 victory - with the goal of him to the final score - over FC Schalke 04 . On the way to the final, Vorwärts-Rasensport Gleiwitz were defeated 9-0 and SV Arminia Hannover 3-0 in the eighth and quarter-finals and then Eintracht Frankfurt in the semifinals .

National team

Hochgesang played six international matches for the senior national team , for which he made his debut on June 15, 1924 in Oslo in a 2-0 victory over the national team of Norway . His first of four goals as a national player he scored on October 25, 1925 in Basel in a 4-0 victory over the Swiss national team with the goal of the final score in the 76th minute. He crowned his last international match on October 23, 1927 in Hamburg in a 6-2 victory over the Norwegian national team with a 1: 2 goal in the 55th minute and the final score in the 88th minute.

Individual evidence

  1. ↑ According to a report in the Hamburger Nachrichten on May 25, 1936, page 10, Hochgesang was supposed to look after both 93 and Borussia Harburg . It is unclear whether this actually came about. His alleged involvement with HSV in 1934 remained a rumor, cf. same newspaper of November 6, 1934, page 9
