Athletic career

Bernd Schubert played his first games in the higher class at the age of 17 in the 1961/62 season with the GDR upper division Lokomotive Stendal. In the company sports community (BSG) , however, he was only used on the 7th and 8th game day and played as a right winger. In the following seven years he did not appear in the two top leagues.

It was not until the 1968/69 season that he reappeared at the second-rate GDR league club BSG Chemie Premnitz . As a striker in changing positions, he played all 30 league games. With only two goals, he was just as weak as the entire team, which scored the fewest goals in their league season with their 16 goals and had to relegate from the league.

Schubert then moved to the upper division BSG Chemie Leipzig. There he was unable to assert himself as a regular player in the 1969/70 season and was only used as a striker eleven times in the 26 league games. He started nine times, scored three goals, but only played five full 90 minutes. In the 1970/71 season Schubert was initially set as a left winger and was absent only once in the 13 league games of the first half of the season. With the exception of two games, he was always in the starting line-up, and three times he was substituted prematurely. After the first half of the season, Schubert was BSG Chemie's top scorer with five goals.

In July 1971 the BSG imposed a game ban on Schubert, which also had an effect on the GDR league team Chemistry II. After the end of the season he was finally released. The 27-year-old Bernd Schubert took this as an opportunity to end his career as a performance-oriented football player.
