Career

Eiberger was born in 1908 as the son of the former Rudolf Eiberger and his wife Therese, b. Shoemaker, born. He grew up in Augsburg until 1913, after which his family moved to the Augsburg suburb of Göggingen . At first he did gymnastics and athletics; Only when he was 14 did his father allow him to play football for SV Göggingen. In 1925 he joined TSV Schwaben Augsburg , which at the time was part of the southern German football elite. On the occasion of the founding of Gauliga Bayern in 1933, Eiberger switched to five-time soccer champions 1. FC Nürnberg. The club had disappointingly only finished third in the South German championship last season and expected the 25-year-old striker to have more attacking momentum. Eiberger's preferred position became the right attacking side. Eiberger Whitsun played his first game for the club in 1933 in a friendly against Alemannia Aachen.

After only one year he was in the final of the German championship in 1934. The Nürnberger with Eiberger on the half-right attacking side lost 1: 2 against Schalke 04. In 1935, 1. FC Nürnberg reached the first final of the German football cup ( Tschammerpokal ) and was the first club to join the list of German cup winners. Eiberger was called up in the 2-0 win over Schalke 04 as usual as a half-right striker and scored the 1-0 opening goal. In the 1935/36 season, 1. FC Nuremberg won its sixth football championship. On June 21, 1936 the final pairing was 1. FC Nürnberg - Fortuna Düsseldorf, and after extra time the Franks won 2-1. Half right striker Eiberger scored the equalizer after falling 0-1. Eiberger received a bonus of 150 marks for winning the championship. One year later, Nürnberg reached the championship final again, but lost 2-0 to eternal rivals Schalke 04 despite Eiberger's participation. Eiberger was instrumental in the second cup victory for the Nuremberg team. 1. FC Nürnberg met SV Waldhof Mannheim in the final on April 28, 1940 and won 2-0 with two goals from their half right Eiberger.

It was the last title win by the now 32-year-old Eiberger. He did not experience the new beginning of German football after the Second World War as an active football player. In his record for 1. FC Nürnberg, he could look back on 339 competitive games, a championship and two cup wins. He used his knowledge, which he had already acquired as a vehicle inspector with the city of Nuremberg before the start of the war, to open his own car repair shop. He worked as a talent scout for 1. FC Nürnberg.
