Alfred Stahr (born March 30, 1911 in East Prussia , † 1981 ) was a German football player .

Player career

Born in East Prussia, Stahr played for what was then BFC Hertha since he was 14 years old. Stahr began his career in 1928 at Hertha BSC , where he was initially only used sporadically. In the following season he didn't even play a game. It was not until the 1930/31 season that he rose to become a regular in the Oberliga team, which secured the relay win through two playoffs against Viktoria 89 Berlin . And also in the championship of the VBB achieved by this, the blue-whites of Tennis Borussia , the Berliner SV 92 and PSV Stettin could not be stopped. The club from the plump was in the final round of the German championship . After victories over VfB 03 Bielefeld (5: 2), SpVgg Fürth (3: 1) and Hamburger SV (3: 2 afterwards), Hertha was the first team to reach the final for the sixth time in a row. There they met TSV 1860 Munich , which was defeated 3-2 by a late goal from Willi Kirsei .

In the following year, the championship was just missed as second behind SC Minerva 93 . But already in the 1932/33 season, Hertha entered the final round of the German championship as the Berlin champion . There they failed in the first round at SV Hindenburg Allenstein .

In 1933/34, the old lady missed the championship in the newly founded Gauliga Berlin-Brandenburg , but only one year later she was the first Gaumeister. In the DM final round that followed , the Berliners had to give up in the group stage in second place and let PSV Chemnitz go first.

And this time, too, the Herthaners needed a year to start before they were Gaumeister in 1937. But even in 1937 in the group stage of the German championship, the opponents, especially the later champions FC Schalke 04 , were a size too big.

In the next few years, Stahr's team in the Gauliga first had to give way to BSV 92 and then to Blau-Weiß 90 . Hertha also did not know how to convince in the Danzig Cup, which was introduced at the beginning of the war in 1939. The 1940/41 season was the last season that "Freddy" Stahr played completely at Hertha, since he was stationed as a seaman in Wilhelmshaven from 1941 . From then on he played mainly at Wilhelmshaven 05 as a guest player .

With this club Stahr won the Gauliga Weser-Ems in 1943 , but failed in the round of 16 of the final round of the German championship at FC Schalke 04. In the following season, 05 was Gaumeister and started in the championship race . After a win at Eintracht Braunschweig (2: 1 a.s.) and a 1-1 draw against the Luftwaffe-Sportverein Hamburg on the local naval sports field, the Wilhelmshaven lost the decider in Hamburg 4-2. In between, Stahr played for his “real” club Hertha BSC on a number of occasions, including in the same final in 1944 against LSV Danzig and in the semifinals against HSV Groß Born .

At the end of 1944, Alfred Stahr had received orders to march to Gotenhafen to join the Wilhelm Gustloff . However, despite the strict ban, he drove via Berlin to play for his old club. However, he broke his leg in this game and therefore had to undergo an operation. As a result, he was unable to take on the Wilhelm Gustloff as ordered and so survived the sinking of the passenger ship by Soviet torpedoes, in which around 9,000 people lost their lives. The scheduled trial before the military court, which might have ended with the death penalty, also no longer took place due to the chaos of the war.

After the war ended, Stahr played for SG Gesundbrunnen, from which Hertha BSC later emerged , although he lived in Berlin-Hohenschönhausen . There he was active as a player until 1950, before he took over the management of the blue-whites in 1950. He died in 1981.

He was awarded the large gold pin of merit by Hertha.
