BSG Post Rostock (women's football)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
BSG Post Rostock coat of arms

The BSG Post Rostock (women's soccer department) was one of the most successful women's soccer clubs in the GDR in the 1970s and 1980s . The team was multiple district champions in the Schwerin district . In 1979 the company sports association came third in the first GDR best determination in women's football, in 1990 GDR Cup winners and the last GDR champions .

Beginnings

At the beginning of January 1970 three girls, Marion Bialas, Renate Wenzel and Victoria Proft, appeared at the Rostock regional football committee and expressed their interest in wanting to set up a women's football team. The enthusiasm for football was the decisive factor, and Bialas was also inspired by the example of her father Franz and her uncle Arthur Bialas . Both had been top division players at SC Empor Rostock .

An appeal in the North German Latest News ultimately attracted 100 girls, but only 40 of them were accepted into the BSG Post Rostock , which formed a girls' and a women's team.

After a phase of indoor training there was the first test match against the district class men of the BSG Post, which ended with a respectable 0-0 for the women. The first official game against TSG Jahn Schwerin ended 1-0 (goal scorer: Marion Bialas). From then on, the Rostock women always had to go to the Schwerin district for the point games, as there were only occasionally serious women's teams in the Rostock district.

The development of women's football in Rostock was inextricably linked to the name Jupp Pilz , previously a youth coach at Hansa Rostock , who looked after the women's football team for many years. The beginning had been difficult. Pilz, who died in 2006, received 26 rejections from company sports clubs before he got the opportunity at Post Rostock to set up a women's soccer team.

In the 1970s Rostock took part in many tournaments in the GDR but also in socialist countries (e.g. the CSSR). Turbine Potsdam , today one of the strongest all-German clubs, developed into a strong opponent .

At Pentecost 1972, the BSG Turbine Potsdam hosted a tournament to which the GDR women's football teams, which were then considered to be strong, traveled, so twelve teams already played a district champion in the Magdeburg district (for Tangermünde ). In the preliminary round, BSG Post Rostock won 8-0 against BSG Motor Berlin-Baumschulenweg. Contrary to expectations, Rostock also managed a 2-1 victory against the home team from Potsdam, which was already trained by Bernd Schröder at the time and was considered a favorite. In the crossover game against Empor Tangermünde , a 3-2 win on penalties was achieved and the Rostock team reached the final, where they took revenge against Potsdam. Here the Schröder team retained the upper hand with 2-0, but the defeat in the preliminary round was one of the few ever on a large field in the 1970s and 1980s for Turbine Potsdam. The results: 1. BSG Turbine Potsdam; 2. BSG Post Rostock; 3. Stahl Brandenburg; 4. Up Tangermünde; 5. Up Dresden-Mitte; 6. BSG Motor Berlin-Baumschulenweg.

Marion Bialas, the daughter of the former East German league player Franz Bialas, was a very successful goal scorer in Rostock in those early years .

In 1979, the BSG Post Rostock qualified for the determination of the best in the GDR, after the association had already sought comparison with other teams in the entire GDR area in the previous years, as mentioned. Now it was time to prove the competitiveness.

The first GDR best determination in 1979 in Templin

In 1979, a competition for the best women's soccer teams in the GDR was held for the first time. The champions of the respective GDR districts had to qualify in elimination tournaments - the final of the four best teams that had emerged victorious from the elimination competitions should take place in Templin .

The preliminary round in Neubrandenburg

In Neubrandenburg the games of group 1 took place on September 15, 1979, for which the champions of the three northern districts (construction Schwerin, NGMB Neubrandenburg and Rostock) competed.

After the Rostockers had narrowly defeated Schwerin 1-0, goal scorer Katrin Erdmann, at the beginning, they also scored 2-0 in the decisive comparison against Neubrandenburg . The hosts seemed to be superior in this game, however, until 17-year-old Katrin Erdmann again secured victory for the post women with two counter attacks (30th and 34th minute). In the comparison for second place, Neubrandenburg clearly prevailed 4: 1 against Schwerin . Katrin Erdmann was named the best goalscorer.

This allowed BSG Post Rostock to take part in the finals on October 6, 1979 in Templin together with Aufbau Dresden-Ost , Motor-Mitte Karl-Marx-Stadt and Chemie Wolfen .

The tournament

The determination of the best on October 6, 1979 in Templin can be described as the first major event in GDR women's football. 3,100 spectators attended the games in the Templin Stadium of Friendship, of which 2,000 had purchased their tickets in advance. In addition, the deputy general secretary of the DFV , Hans Müller, was personally present to watch the games and hold the award ceremony. The four finalists also represented around 300 women's soccer teams from the GDR DFV.

The Rostock team from 1979 included coach Josef Pilz and the players:

Hildtraut Groppe (gate) (C)Captain of the crew
Bianca Puffpaff , Christiane Mühlenbruch , Renate Draheim ..
Andrea Unkhoff , Sandra Unkhoff
Heike Wittfoth , Angelika Hünemörder , Sybille Lange , Gabriele Kunze , Kerstin Trinks , Kerstin Kollath , Katrin Erdmann (Prühs)

The team from Karl-Marx-Stadt became the first "GDR champions", prevailing 1-0 against Rostock and 2-0 against Wolfen - the draw against Dresden finally brought the title. Dresden, for its part, came second, followed by the Rostock women. The BSG Post Rostock had to be content with third place, but was able to show that they represented the best team in the north of the GDR. In addition, Wolfen was clearly beaten 3-0 and the master Karl-Marx-Stadt could only achieve a 1-0 against the North Germans.

Goalkeeper Hildtraut Groppe was honored as the best goalkeeper in the GDR and the continuous training of trainer Jupp Pilz had therefore proven itself over the years.

The result:

1. Motor Mitte Karl-Marx-Stadt 5: 1 points / 3: 0 goals; 2. Construction Dresden-Ost 4: 2 points / 2: 0 goals; BSG Post Rostock 2: 4 points / 3: 3 goals; Chemie Wolfen 1: 5 points / 0: 5 goals.

The Deutsche Sportecho noted about the tournament and BSG Post Rostock:

(...) Construction Dresden-Ost had after twenty minutes of the decisive game against Motor Mitte Karl-Marx-Stadt still every chance to win the DFV's first best determination in women's football. Renate Zebiser, the agile center forward of the girls and women from Florence on the Elbe, turned to her black-haired teammate Katja Schlemmer: "You bring the balls too steeply, I can't run them ..." In fact, all the well-intentioned attacks in the dynamo fizzled out -Look, in yellow jerseys and black, competing Dresden women. They lacked the goal scoring, the colon win against the Karl Marx townspeople. And for this, a draw was enough. It remained a draw. 0: 0 was on the scoreboard in the Templiner Stadium of Friendship in front of 3,100 spectators. Over 2,000 had bought their tickets in advance. The applause of the knowledgeable audience went to winners and losers alike. Applause on the open scene was not uncommon. Especially for the goalkeeper Hildtraut Groppe from BSG Post Rostock, for the stopper from the same team, Christiane Mühlenbruch, for the Karl-Marx-Städter left winger Evi Reusch. (...)

Until the turn - GDR master

In the best determination in 1980, the team achieved fifth, 1984 fourth.

When Jupp Pilz retired, Manfred Draheim followed him as a trainer.

In 1990 BSG Post Rostock was the last GDR champion under Draheim with a 6: 1 away and 4: 2 in Rostock's Ostseestadion against BSG Wismut Chemnitz. In addition, the BSG also won the GDR Cup , with a 5-3 penalty in Senftenberg on penalties against Wismut Chemnitz. From the 1970s onwards, the club was one of the best teams in GDR women's football, with the 1990 double being the highlight.

In the only international match of the GDR women's national football team in 1990, Rostock players were also used with Katrin Erdmann-Prühs, Sybille Lange and Katrin Baaske. Katrin Prühs has been one of the strongest Rostock players since the 1980s and 1990s and was also a member of the 1995 Bundesliga team.

Development after the fall of the Wall

In the Oberliga Nordost, which was set up for the 1990/91 season, the double winner of the previous season was only able to achieve fourth place, so that the team was denied the leap into the northern season of the Bundesliga. The team now played in the Regionalliga Nordost.

After German reunification, the team could not be held by its previous sponsor. Renate Wenzel wrote to FC Hansa Rostock and asked for the post ladies to join the club. The sports director of Norddeutsche Neuesten Nachrichten, Heinz Schulz, campaigned vehemently for the women's team in his paper and the Hansa Presidium agreed, although the funds were barely enough to maintain paid men's football.

In 1991/92 the department then joined Hansa Rostock . In the 1992 and 1993 seasons, the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern-Pokal , the soccer cup of the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, was won. In the women's regional league they finished fifth in both seasons. In 1993 the team changed clubs again. Now she played for the police SV Rostock , which continued the successful period of the club, at least for a short time. In 1995 the women became champions of the Regionalliga Nordost ( NOFV ) and were promoted to the Bundesliga . But after a year they had to relegate with just one win and six points. In 2005, the team was relegated from the regional league and the department moved to SV Hafen Rostock 61 . The team immediately became champions of the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Association League and managed to get promoted again immediately, but rose again in the 2007/08 season.

Tradition ( Jupp-Pilz-Cup )

On November 11, 2000, a traditional tournament was held in Toitenwinkel for the first time , in which the women's and girls' team of the SV Rostock police, but also the Bundesliga team from 1995 and the traditional team competed against each other. The Bundesliga team, which also won, belonged to a. the top PSV player and former GDR national player Kathrin Krüger-Baaske. The traditional team consisted of the players who founded Rostock women's football in 1970 and who then became one of the best GDR teams as BSG Post Rostock in the late 1970s. Jupp Pilz (then 80) was there with his wife, as was PSV President Dieter Hempel.

At the beginning of 2004, another traditional tournament took place in the Bertha-von-Suttner-Ring sports hall in Toitenwinkel, to which Jupp Pilz traveled from Bad Honnef . In his honor, the tournament was renamed the Jupp-Pilz-Cup . As in 2000, the Bundesliga regional league team won this time too.

The 2nd Jupp-Pilz-Cup took place on February 19th, 2006 in the sports hall Marienehe in Rostock , this time under the direction of SV Hafen Rostock and the sponsoring association for women's and girls' soccer.
