Artur Ullrich (born October 10, 1957 in Arkhangelsk , Soviet Union , today Russia ) is a former German football player.

Player career

Ullrich began his football career at the age of ten at Dynamo Berlin-Mitte . From there he was delegated to FC Dynamo in Berlin in 1969 . The defensive player made his debut on the 19th match day of the 1977/78 season for the BFC in the major league as the highest division of the German Democratic Republic and completed a total of seven missions for the Berliners during the season, which finally took third place in the final table. Already in his second season 1978/79 Ullrich was one of the top performers of his team, which won the first championship title in club history at the end of the season , with 26 appearances in which he also scored his first league goal. For Dynamo, this meant the beginning of a series of national successes, which brought the club ten championship titles within ten ten games and isolated successes in the FDGB Cup , but also the accusation of systematic manipulation by GDR party officials. In the cup final in 1978/79, Berlin was still defeated by 1. FC Magdeburg in extra time with Ullrich's participation, but Ullrich again made a significant contribution to the second Berlin championship in 1979/80 with 26 appearances.

Because of his performance at Berliner FC, Ullrich was also appointed to the GDR's U-21 team, with which he won the silver medal at the U-21 European Championship in May 1980. As early as April 1980, Ullrich made his debut for the GDR national team in a friendly against Romania and was also part of the GDR's Olympic squad at the Olympic Games in Moscow in late summer 1980 , with which Ullrich won silver. With his teammates he was awarded the Patriotic Order of Merit in bronze in the same year . In October 1980, Ullrich came to his second appearance for the national team, which played a friendly against Czechoslovakia , and in April 1981 he took part in a World Cup qualifying game for the national team for the first time, which was won 2-1 against Malta .

In the 1980/81 and 1981/82 seasons , Ullrich contributed seven goals each in 26 appearances to the championship titles number three and four of the FC Dynamo in Berlin and completed six more appearances in friendly matches of the GDR national team and one more during these seasons Used in the World Cup qualification against Malta. In the FDGB Cup final in 1981/82, however, Ullrich lost for the second time with Berlin, this time against Dynamo Dresden on penalties. After Ullrich had made a significant contribution to the fifth Berlin championship in a row in the 1982/83 season with six goals in 23 appearances, from 1983/84 he was no longer one of the top performers in Berlin with only 16 appearances, whereupon he also took his place in the GDR selection lost. The friendly against Romania in August 1983 was his thirteenth and last appearance in the national team.

In the FDGB Cup final in 1983/84, Ullrich and Berlin lost to Dynamo Dresden for the second time in his third final appearance, which was to be repeated again in Ullrich's fourth final appearance in 1984/85 . In the league season 1984/85 , however, succeeded in the meanwhile seventh championship title in a row, but Ullrich had contributed again with only 16 appearances. In 1985/86 Ullrich was hardly used for Berlin and only played four league games, whereupon he left the Berliner FC after 170 league appearances and eight championship titles in a row. The negative highlight before his departure from the capital city was the first round game in the European Cup in September 1985: Against FK Austria Wien they were already 0-2 behind after twelve minutes with an own goal by Ullrich and a hit by his opponent Toni Polster , whereupon the defender was replaced just five minutes later. Without Ullrich, Berlin was two-time champions of the GDR in the following three seasons and also won the FDGB Cup twice, which Ullrich had previously not been able to win with Dynamo on four occasions.

He also reached the FDGB cup final again with the second division team Hansa Rostock , which Ullrich joined after leaving Berlin. However, the defeat against 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig meant the fifth defeat in the final for both Ullrich and FC Hansa in their fifth participation. In the league, however, Ullrich was able to achieve immediate promotion with FC Hansa, which was relegated to the second-class league in the pre-season 1985/86, where he had been one of the pillars of the team with 27 missions. In the seasons 1987/88 to 1989/90 Ullrich then played for Hansa in another 54 league games before ending his career in the summer of 1990. In the following game year 1990/91 , which was the last edition of the GDR Oberliga, Hansa then won both the championship and the FDGB Cup 1990/91 without Ullrich .
