Adolf Friedrich August "Adsch" Werner (born October 19, 1886 in Kiel ; † September 6, 1975 there ) was a German football player . From 1909 to 1912 he also played 13 international matches for the senior national team and was at times a record German national player .
Career
Werner was considered the most important German goalkeeper before the First World War . On March 13, 1909, he made his debut in the senior national team in the DFB's first official international match on English soil. Despite the 9-0 defeat against the English national team of amateurs in Oxford , he received consistently good, sometimes exuberant reviews from the English press, as well as offers from English clubs who wanted to sign him as a professional. At the Olympic football tournament in Stockholm in 1912 , he was in the team that defeated Russia 16-0; the record result of a German national team that still exists today. From 1911 to 1912 (at times together with Eugen Kipp and Camillo Ugi ) he was Germany's record player.
The German championship with Holstein Kiel on May 26, 1912 was his greatest success at club level, the runner-up championship in 1910 and the North German championship from 1910 to 1912 had preceded this.
Of the 13 international matches, he played nine during his time with Holstein Kiel and four during his time with SC Victoria Hamburg . At Victoria Hamburg he only played for a short time, as he received approval from the Holstein board to play there as a guest player.
