Athletic career

Andreas Schmidt drew attention to himself early on in national GDR football . In the 1987/88 season he played with the junior team of Halleschen FC Chemie in the GDR-wide junior league. At the same time he was part of the squad of the youth national team with which he played seven official internationals and was usually used as a defender.

After Schmidt had become eligible to play for the men's division in the summer of 1988, he played for the second team of the HFC in the third-class Halle district league . At the beginning of the 1989/90 season, the 1.78 m tall Schmidt moved to the Betriebsportgemeinschaft (BSG) Stahl Brandenburg, which was represented in the highest GDR soccer class, the GDR Oberliga. He made his first appearance in the league on October 14, 1989 in the match on the 7th match day between FC Rot-Weiß Erfurt and BSG Stahl (0-0) when he was substituted on in the 86th minute. After that he was five times in the starting line-up, four times in defense and in one game as a midfielder until the end of the first half of the league.

When the organizational constraints in GDR football eased in the course of the political change in 1989 , Andreas Schmidt Stahl was able to leave Brandenburg again and join the FSV Lok Altmark Stendal district league team at the beginning of 1990 . With the Stendalers he rose to the second-rate NOFV league at the end of the season . As part of the reorganization of the DFB league system from the 1991/92 season, this was converted into the third-class Oberliga Nordost , in which Andreas Schmidt was active with the FSV locomotive until the end of the 1999/2000 season. At that time, the Oberliga Nordost was only fourth class (since 1994/95). Schmidt's sporting highlight in Stendal was playing in the quarter -final of the 1995 DFB Cup against Bundesliga club Bayer 04 Leverkusen , which the Stendal team only lost after a penalty shoot-out at home.
