career

Bernd Schmid went through the entire year classes in the youth department of his home club Offenburger FV. After transitioning to the first team of OFV in 1973, which played in the 1st Amateur League South Baden, the technician experienced the combination game under coach Hans Cieslarczyk as a young player in the rounds of 1973/74 and 1974/75 double win of the South Baden championship. With the simultaneous cup success in 1975 in South Baden, Schmid even celebrated the "double" with Offenburg. The promotion round to the 2nd Bundesliga in May / June 1975 against competitors VfR Aalen, VfB Eppingen and SSV Reutlingen was an early sporting highlight in the career of the young midfielder. The twenty-year-old was used in all six promotion round games and scored two goals. If the OFV teammates like Horst Wild , Karl-Heinz Bente , Hans Hägele , Uli Bruder , Alfred Metzler and Bora Markovic were top performers at his side, at Aalen top scorer Dieter Hoeneß , at Eppingen Erwin Rupp , Gerd Störzer and Jürgen Schieck , as well as at SSV Reutlingen out the players Hans Eippert , Fritz Göbel , Rudi Murmann , Max Pleikies and goalkeeper Rolf Kirsch . The audience response corresponded to the importance of the round; The OFV game on May 29th in Reutlingen, for example, saw 11,000 spectators.

Until the 1977/78 season Schmid played with Offenburg in the South Baden Football Association in the 1st Amateur League South Baden . From the first season 1978/79 the OFV belonged to the new performance class in amateur football in Baden-Württemberg, the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg. Under coach Anton Rudinsky , the eleven from the Ortenau district played for the title for a surprisingly long time and finished fifth at the end of the round. At the side of fellow players like Gerd Komorowski , Herbert Seiffert and Siegfried Spinner , Bernd Schmid had played 28 league games in midfield and scored five goals.

His performance was particularly appreciated when he was accepted into the amateur national team in spring 1979. After a screening course at the Duisburg-Wedau sports school and two test matches against a Bundeswehr team and Eintracht Frankfurt on February 13, the midfielder of the OFV and the South Baden association team made his debut on March 20, 1979 at the international match in Schwenningen under the then responsible DFB coach Erich Ribbeck Italy in the new amateur selection of the DFB. Before the first official international match of the newly formed amateur national team on March 19, under the heading “Moscow is just a mirage”, kicker editor Werner Schilling described the limiting requirements of the selection criteria at the time: “For this structure, all players were eliminated from the start their clubs had previously played under contract in the second division or even the Bundesliga, but of course also all those who had previously been under contract with other clubs. And also all those young talents who are flirting with the Bundesliga or the second division. ”Italy won the game with 2-0 goals and defensive player Pietro Vierchowod showed signs of his subsequent career. In the game report of the kicker it was noted about the German midfield: “Eager but imprecise the German midfield, in which neither Weiss nor Eplinius recalled their previous performances. Fighters Ament and Schmid, who with his long-range shots caused most of the few outstanding situations in front of the Italian goal, pulled themselves out of the affair fairly respectably, but they were only able to use their strikers in the rarest of cases. "

The DFB amateurs competed against Italy on March 20, 1979 in Schwenningen with the following formation:

Valentin Herr (SV Kuppenheim) - Rainer Prieß (VfL Wolfsburg) / from 39. M. Jonny Otten (Hagener SV), Rainer Rühle (VfB Stuttgart), Karl Richter (FC Villingen), Uwe Eplinius (Concordia Hamburg) - Peter Ament ( VfL Wolfsburg), Gunnar Weiß (Eislingen), Schmid (Offenburger FV) - Sigmund Malek (Barmbek-Uhlenhorst) / from 46. M. Ludwig Scherhag (TuS Neuendorf), Jens Knop (Atlas Delmenhorst) / from 74. M. Gisbert Paus (SpVgg Erkenschwick), Günter Waiblinger (FC Villingen). On June 6, Schmid played his second amateur international match against Spain in Cadiz.

In addition to the championships in South Baden, the promotion round to the 2nd Bundesliga, the concentration of performance through the Oberliga and the appointment to the amateur national team, the appearances in the DFB Cup from 1976 to 1981 against Eintracht Frankfurt , FC Augsburg and Rot-Weiß Oberhausen were other sporting highlights . In particular, the appearance of the 1974 world champions Jürgen Grabowski and Bernd Hölzenbein on October 18, 1975 in front of 8,000 spectators in the home stadium in the 1: 5 defeat against Eintracht Frankfurt was a particularly impressive experience for the then 20-year-old midfielder of the OFV .

After the 1981/82 season he joined SV Linx for two years in the Association League South Baden, before he first held the position of player-coach at FV Schutterwald in the regional league from 1984 and ended his career as a coach in 1987.

Bernd Schmid later trained the Bambinis, F and E youth at ETSV Offenburg for a few years, where he also looked after his son. As a sporting hobby, he still practices sporty driving with the racing bike and mountain bike today (2014) and still lives in his hometown Offenburg.
