Bernd Hobsch (born May 7, 1968 in Großkugel ) is a former German soccer player. He played first division football for 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig , Werder Bremen , TSV 1860 Munich , 1. FC Nürnberg and Stade Rennes . With Werder Bremen he was champion and cup winner. With the DFB national team he played an international match, for the GDR U-21 selection he completed eleven internationals.

Athletic career

Football in the GDR

Hobsch played for TSG MAB Schkeuditz until he was 18 . After TSG was immediately relegated from the third-rate Leipzig district league in 1986 , Hobsch joined BSG Chemie Böhlen , for which he played in the second-rate GDR league in the 1986/87 season . There the trained bricklayer played 29 of the 34 point games and became the team's top scorer with eleven goals together with veteran Klaus Havenstein .

Since the GDR upper division club 1. FC Lok Leipzig had lost their best striker of the preseason, Hans Richter , the club steered the successful 1.83 meter tall scorer Hobsch into their own ranks after the start of the 1987/88 season . Three days before his first division debut in August 1987, the attacker had been on the pitch in League Season B for Böhlen. Hobsch did not disappoint the hopes placed at Lok and was in his first league season with seven goals in 22 games, the second best goalscorer for the Leipzig team behind Olaf Marschall with eight goals. Although he was later no longer so accurate, Hobsch remained until the end of the GDR Oberliga in 1991 regular player of 1. FC Lok on the left attacking side. In his four league seasons he made a total of 86 appearances and scored 20 goals. He also played in 14 national cup games (10 goals) and in a European cup game. In this game in the UEFA Cup 1988/89 on September 7, 1988 at the Swiss FC Aarau, he scored two goals in a 3-0 victory. Between April 1988 and November 1989 he played eleven international matches with the GDR U-21 team , in which he scored four goals.

Professional footballer

For the 1991/92 season, 1. FC Lok had qualified for the 2. Bundesliga , to which it entered as a new club under the name VfB Leipzig. The 23-year-old Bernd Hobsch was still part of the team. In the more than 32 rounds of the season, he was used 27 times and was Leipzig's top scorer with his eleven goals. He was able to repeat this success with 15 goals in the following season 1992/93, although he only played 25 second division games for VfB until December. For the second half of the season Hobsch moved to Werder Bremen in the 1st Bundesliga . He had his most successful time in Bremen. He played for Werder until the end of the 1996/97 season and was German champion in 1993 with Bremen and DFB Cup winner in 1994. He had contributed to the championship title in his first season in Bremen with his use in all 17 games of the second half of the season and seven goals. On May 14, 1994, he worked in the cup final Werder Bremen - Rot-Weiss Essen (3-1) as a striker. On September 22, 1993 Hobsch played his only A international match. In the friendly match Tunisia - Germany (1: 1) he was substituted on in the 77th minute.

After his contract with Werder had ended in the summer of 1997 after 106 Bundesliga games with 33 goals, Hobsch played at the French first division club Stade Rennes until the end of 1997, where he was only used in three championship games. In January 1998 Hobsch returned to Germany and joined the Bundesliga club TSV 1860 Munich. There he played the second half of the 1998 season with 14 stakes and six goals scored. In 1998/99 he completed 25 of the 34 Bundesliga games in 1860 and was once again the most successful goalscorer of his team with his 12 goals. The last stop in professional football of the now 31-year-old Hobsch was 1. FC Nürnberg, for whom he initially played in the 2. Bundesliga in the 1999/2000 and 2000/01 seasons. While he played 17 games and scored eight goals in his first Nuremberg season, he only came on seven times as a substitute in 2000/01 and only scored one goal. So he was involved in the rise of Nuremberg to the 1st Bundesliga, where he played five point games again as a substitute in 2001/02 until the sixth game day. In October 2001 he was deleted from the Bundesliga squad with six other players and his contract ended at the end of the season. At the same time his career as a professional footballer came to an end, in which he had played 150 games in the 1st Bundesliga (51 goals) and 76 second division games (35 goals).

Career end in Jena, amateur footballer and coach

After several months without a contract, Hobsch joined the fourth division club FC Carl Zeiss Jena in the spring of 2002 . There he played the last six league matches as a striker with three goals and the final for the Thuringia Cup (Rot-Weiß Erfurt - FC Carl Zeiss, 7: 5 nE) in the Oberliga Nordost . He then worked as a hobby footballer for the regional league club FC Linde Schwandorf . He also worked as a trainer for the Bavarian regional league club DJK Ammerthal and the women's team at TSV Ochenbruck.
