Football career

Biermann 2008 at FC St. Pauli

Biermann began his career in the F-youth of SC Schwarz-Weiß Spandau. There he played until 1997 when he moved to Hertha BSC as a B-youth . One of his mentors was the coach of the Hertha amateurs at the time, Falko Götz . However, three shoulder injuries stood in the way of the leap into the professional squad. Biermann turned down Hertha BSC's offer to continue playing for the U23 and so he moved to SC Göttingen 05 in 2001 , where coach Eulberg had just led the team to the Regionalliga Nord . Shortly before the start of the season, however, the DFB refused the Göttingen license, so Biermann had to be one league lower with the club.

In the same season, Biermann moved to the regional division Chemnitzer FC and was active there until the 2003/04 season before a serious and long-lasting knee injury threatened to become disabled. Biermann moved to the upper division MSV Neuruppin to initially work as an assistant coach under Christian Schreier . He had his knee treated again according to the latest medical findings and was able to play painlessly again after an intensive rehab measure, so that he was one of the top performers in Neuruppin for a year and a half.

For the 2006/07 season, Biermann followed coach Schreier to the Regionalliga promoted 1. FC Union Berlin , where he played a strong series on the left wing and was one of the players who played consistently at a high level. At the end of this season, Biermann turned down a contract offer from Berlin, as FC St. Pauli had already expressed interest in him at this point . However, there has not yet been an obligation.

On the mediation of a former youth coach, he joined Tennis Borussia Berlin in November 2007 . After playing for TeBe for half a year, the new offer came from FC St. Pauli and finally the signing of his first contract in the 2nd Bundesliga. He made his debut as a licensed player on March 10, 2008 in the game against 1860 Munich (0-0). Biermann played a total of ten games in the second division for St. Pauli. His contract there ended in 2010.

From 2011 to 2013 Biermann was active at FC Spandau 06 in the Berlin regional league. For the 2012/13 season he took over the position of player-coach . The season was not very successful and ended with the relegation of FC. Biermann lost the coaching post after a 6-0 draw in May 2013 against Spandauer SV .

From 2013 he strengthened (among other things together with the former referee Robert Hoyzer ) the seniors of FSV Spandauer Kickers.

Private life

On November 20, 2009, Biermann announced at a press conference that he attempted suicide in October of the same year and that he had then gone into inpatient treatment for depression . The suicide of the national goalkeeper Robert Enke made him step public. He also stated that he had become almost addicted to gambling . After his return to the team at FC St. Pauli, he felt left alone by his colleagues. In addition, Biermann no longer received a professional contract after his engagement with St. Pauli ended in 2010. Therefore, he later commented critically on his coming out :

“The fears I had before I made my illness public have been confirmed. I wouldn't recommend to any depressed professional to make his illness public. "

In spring 2011 he wrote a book with the journalist Rainer Schäfer about his life with the disease under the title Red Card Depression . In February 2012 Biermann announced that he had attempted another suicide (his third known).

Andreas Biermann died on July 18, 2014 by suicide. He left behind his wife and two children.
