Bernd Wunderlich (born February 24, 1957 in Stralsund ) is a former German soccer player. He completed an international match in the GDR national team .

Athletic career

BSG, club and association stations

Bernd Wunderlich began his football career at the age of eleven in the children's team of the Vorwärts Stralsund army sports community . From 1976 to 1982 he played in the GDR league for Stralsund, which was one of the top teams in Season A at that time. In the early years he was used as a midfielder, but ended up playing as a striker. In the summer of 1982, after having participated in the promotion round to the East German upper house at the end of the league season 1981/82 with the ASG and also in the joint season preview of ' fuwo and Deutschem Sportecho as the new captain of the Stralsund in the squad for the season 1982 / 83, Wunderlich was delegated to the central soccer club of the Vorwärts army sports association , FC Vorwärts Frankfurt / Oder , which in recent years had consistently placed in the top third of the GDR league . Wunderlich was also planned as a striker in Frankfurt and was to replace the 125-time league player Ralph Conrad , who ended his career after 38 league goals for FCV in 1983 after Wunderlich's first season on the Oder, in which he had played all games.

Wunderlich played for FC Vorwärts until 1986. Usually he had to complete an army career that led him from senior master to senior staff officer. In terms of sport, in addition to the runner-up in his debut season at the Frankfurt 101 league games, in which he scored seven goals. The meager goal yield was probably the reason why Wunderlich left FC Vorwärts at the end of the 1985/86 season. He joined the GDR league team of the BSG nuclear power plant Greifswald , but was banned for one year by the DFV legal commission because of his change. After the rise of BSG KKW Greifswald from the district league in 1985, the ambitious goal of further promotion to the top league was pursued. This project could not be realized, and after the completion of the series in 1987/88, Wunderlich moved to the league promoted FC Hansa Rostock . He had now specialized in midfielder, and Hansa urgently needed a game designer, because the team was relegated after 13 rounds. Wunderlich was used in all games in the second half of the season and contributed to the fact that the Hanseatic League was able to secure relegation at the end of the season with 9th place. In the following season, Wunderlich was in all the league games and helped his team to a good 4th place. After he had meanwhile reached the age of 32, he ended his career as a first division player in the summer of 1989. In Rostock he had played 39 league games again, so that he had a total of 140 appearances in the top GDR division.

For one season, Wunderlich returned to BSG KKW Greifswald, where he was used in 26 of 34 league games in the 1989/90 season. He then joined TSV 1860 Stralsund , where he finally ended his active football career in the winter of 1990/91.

Selection bets

In the course of 1983 Wunderlich was used in four qualifying games of the GDR Olympic team for the Olympic soccer tournament in Los Angeles . The boycott of the 1984 Summer Olympics by the GDR deprived him of participation in the finals in the USA.

On 16 February 1984, he completed his single 'A' game, the Berlin East in the sources from the Sportverlag well as Olympic selection meeting, of which he completed a total of 15 from 1982 to 1984, is kept. In the encounter between Greece and the GDR team trained by Bernd Stange in Athens , he came on as a striker for Matthias Döschner from Dresden in the second half .

Coaching career

However, as a coach, Wunderlich continued to play football. Before he took over the HSG Uni Greifswald in 2009, he looked after the teams from Tollense Neubrandenburg , Pommern Stralsund, Pasewalker FV and Rostocker FC .
