Albert Brückl

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Albert Brückl (born January 24, 1904 in Mannheim ; † May 3, 1931 ibid) was a German football player. The attacker of SV Waldhof Mannheim was led by 163 association leagues from 1921/22 to 1930/31 and won the championship in the Rhine district four times with Waldhof during this period in 1924, 1928, 1930 and 1931.

Player career

When the 17-year-old offensive talent made his debut at SV Waldhof in the 1st team in Odenwaldkreis Division I in the 1921/22 season, he benefited from the departures of Sepp Herberger , Karl Höger and Willi Hutter , the dreaded "H-Innensturm" of the SVW . Despite the loss of the three internationals, Brückl and colleagues played for the title and achieved the runner-up one point behind MFC 08 Lindenhof. The youth player immediately became a regular at the side of Simon Skudlarek and Heinrich Schwärzel in the attack of the blue-blacks. For the first time in the game on February 19, 1922, a 1: 1 against relegated VfR Bürstadt, the name of Brückl appears explicitly in the Waldhöfer team line-up for Zeilinger. The young hopeful striker and his teammates won the cup competition in the Rhine district on April 23, 1922 in front of 10,000 spectators on the Waldhof Square 6: 4 against VfTuR Feudenheim. As half right, Brückl scored four goals for the winner, just like with the opponent center forward Paul Lipponer . In the battle for the district cup championship, the Odenwald district cup winner met the Pfalz district cup winner FC Pfalz Ludwigshafen: In front of 4,000 spectators, Waldhof needed extra time on May 7, 1922 to be the district cup winner with a 1-0 win by Brückl.

However, the so-called "Mannheim professional players affair" provided more topics of conversation in this round. Herberger (change to VfR Mannheim) and Höger (change to Bonner FV) were declared professional players by the South German Football Association and banned, later pardoned again.

In the second half of his second season in the first team of Waldhof, 1922/23, the young offensive talent was used for the first time in the city team of Mannheim. On April 29, 1923 Ludwigshafen won the game 3-1 against Mannheim and center forward Brückl scored the consolation goal. Again he was runner-up with Waldhof in the Odenwaldkreis. In the new Rheinbezirksliga 1923/24, Waldhof beat VfR Mannheim 3-1 in front of around 10,000 spectators on October 21, 1923 and Brückl was one of the scorers. After SVW's 4-2 win on December 16, 1923 in front of 6,000 spectators over FC Phönix Ludwigshafen and the 6-1 victory a week later over MFC Phönix 02, the Waldhof officials canceled the usual friendlies at the turn of the year so that the Team could fully concentrate on the remaining association games. With the 1-0 victory at FG 03 Ludwigshafen on January 27, 1924, SV Waldhof became the first champion in the Rhine district. With 24: 4 points, four points ahead of local rivals VfR Mannheim, Waldhof finished the association round as champions after 14 rounds. In the attack, the master was mostly represented by Eugen Kohl, Brückl, Heinrich Schwärzel, Karl Engelhardt and Simon Skudlarek. In the final round of the South German Championship , Waldhof struck a considerable blade. The 4th rank does not do justice to the achievement. Because of a violation of the statutes - unauthorized participation of the defender Lidy - Waldhof was deprived of the two points from the game against Kickers Stuttgart (3-2 on March 23, 1924) and a fine of 250 marks was imposed. Brückl scored all three goals in the lost 3-2 win against the Stuttgarter Kickers, he was also the goalscorer in the 1-0 away win at FSV Frankfurt, and also scored in the 2-0 home win against the eventual German champions 1. FC Nürnberg am March 16 a hit against the international defense of the "Club" with Heinrich Stuhlfauth , Gustav Bark , Anton Kugler , Hans Schmidt , Hans Kalb and Carl Riegel and was also a two-time goal scorer in the 3-1 away win on April 6, 1924 at SpVgg Fuerth.

As confirmation of his impressive scoring threat, the 20-year-old was appointed to the South German team on May 25, 1924. In Biel, however, central Switzerland prevailed 3-1 against southern Germany, Brückl was the shooter of the consolation goal and Höger from VfR Mannheim stormed the right wing.

In the 1927/28 season, the high-end attacker won the second championship in the Rhine district with Waldhof. Brückl was able to win both games with his teammates against defending champions VfL Neckarau (4: 2, 4: 1) and scored one goal in both games. In the games for the South German Championship Waldhof could not convince with three wins and three draws. In the 1929/30 season, the last round game on December 8, 1929 at the defending champion VfL Neckarau brought the decision: Waldhof prevailed 3-1 in front of 12,000 spectators, Brückl contributed a goal and won the championship in the Rhine district again. On June 22, 1930, he stormed alongside Kurt Langenbein and Oskar Rohr in the selection of the Rhine district in a 9-2 win against the Saar district. He was two times, Ossy Rohr four times goalscorer.

When the future international striker Otto Siffling made his debut attacking Waldhof in the 1930/31 season , Waldhof and VfR delivered a gripping derby on November 30, 1930. Brückl acted as a middle runner and the young hopeful striker Siffling led the attack as a middle forward. Waldhof just won 4: 3. In the play-off on January 4, 1931 against the tied FC Phönix Ludwigshafen (both 20: 8 points each) for the championship in the Rhine district, Brückl was not in action in the 1-0 victory. In the games for the South German Championship in 1931, Brückl was then only in action on March 8, 1931 in a 2-1 home win against Eintracht Frankfurt.

Brück died completely unexpectedly on May 3, 1931 at the age of 27 after a stroke. To this day, he leads the official goalscorer list of SV Waldhof with 163 goals in association games and 16 goals in cup games.

Kirn and Natan recorded that the Waldhof striker was a sleek, happy striker from the large Waldhof school. More asthenic than athletic.

Albert Brückl was the host of the Waldhof Clubhouse and his son Werner was later a long-time youth coach at Waldhof.
