career

SV Alsenborn, 1968 to 1973

In Alsenborn, the captain of the 1954 world championship team, Fritz Walter , allowed himself to be persuaded to take on a "supervisory and advisory role" at the local SVA in his new residence. The "Dorfmannschaft" rose annually from 1963 to 1965 from the A-Class West Palatinate, via the 2nd Amateur League West Palatinate and 1st Amateur League Southwest , up to the 1965/66 season in the Regionalliga Southwest. In the third regional league season 1967/68 the SVA succeeded for the first time in winning the championship and entering the promotion round to the Bundesliga .

Before the 1968/69 season , Alsenborn had to cope with the loss of goalscorer Jürgen Schieck , and met this personality by signing talent from the amateur camp such as Werner Adler , Manfred Lenz , Franz Schwarzwälder , Erwin Schwehm , Werner Fuchs , Alban Wüst , Matthias Volk and Bernhard Oberle. The defender Oberle came to Alsenborn from TSG Eisenberg . In terms of sport, the situation was well received by the team and coach Otto Render . The young talent made his debut on December 2, 1968, in a 6-0 home win against VfR Frankenthal, in the then second-rate Regionalliga Südwest. The high demands of the regional league, especially with the defending champion Alsenborn, prevented Oberle from playing the second league on January 20, 1969 in a 3-2 away win at Mainz-Weisenau.

His first year in the regional league was overshadowed by strokes of fate at the “Dorfverein”: In the last days of October 1968, the fast winger Josef Sattmann was involved in a car accident, where he suffered a severe fracture of the base of the skull and other head injuries. Due to the severity of the injuries and the long-term consequences, the hopeful talent could no longer continue his sporting career. On April 11, 1969, the deserving trainer Render had a fatal car accident.

Nevertheless, Alsenborn celebrated defending his title at the end of the round and moved back into the Bundesliga promotion round. In the promotion round Oberle came in the games against Freiburg FC (3: 2), VfB Lübeck (6: 2) and Hertha Zehlendorf (0: 3) each as a substitute.

In his second round at Alsenborn, 1969/70, he came under the new coach Heiner Ueberle and at the side of Horr's successor Karel Nepomucký to ten missions. The SVA won the third championship in a row. In the promotion round, however , all eight appearances followed for the defender against Arminia Bielefeld , Tennis Borussia Berlin , VfL Osnabrück and Karlsruher SC . From 1970/71 to 1972/73 he belonged with 59 league appearances in three rounds with five goals of the extended regular line-up in Alsenborn. In the 1971/72 season , with third place, the return to the Bundesliga promotion round was just missed and Oberle had scored four goals in 25 league appearances. In his fifth season at SV Alsenborn, 1972/73, he was used under coach Horst Kunzmann in 18 rounds and won alongside fellow players such as Franz Schwarzwälder (goalkeeper), Walter Frosch , Peter Cordes, Bernd Krebs, Matthias Volk , Klaus Schmidt , Reinhard Meier , Wolfgang Röhring , Karel Nepomucký, Werner Kadel , Ernst Hodel and Otmar Ludwig took eighth place with the SVA. With the 1: 4 lost home game on April 15, 1973 against VfB Theley, he ended his activity in Alsenborn and joined FC Homburg for the last season of the old second-rate regional league, 1973/74.

FC Homburg, 1973 to 1976

He made his debut with the Green-Whites from the Waldstadion on August 18, 1973 under coach Uwe Klimaschefski in a 7-1 home win against FC Ensdorf in the league. In the two round successes against his former club from Alsenborn (1-0, 2-0), he was together with the other ex-SVA players Manfred Lenz and Otmar Ludwig in action. Homburg finished third in the Regionalliga Südwest in 1973/74 and Oberle had played 28 games with two goals. This meant that the Saarlanders were eligible to compete in the 2nd Bundesliga, which started in the 1974/75 round . In this, the team with the defenders Albert Müller and Oberle lost the home game on August 3, 1974 with 2: 3 goals against the later champions and promoted Karlsruher SC. At the end of the round, Homburg took 14th place in the 20 team in the South group and Oberle had played in 15 second division games. In the second year of the 2. Bundesliga, 1975/76 , the Saarlanders surprisingly came in third, Oberle had played 17 games and scored three goals. The defender played his last game in the 2nd Bundesliga on May 1, 1976 in a top game against the champions and newly promoted Bundesliga club 1. FC Saarbrücken. At 1: 1 in front of 20,000 spectators, he played in the defense line with Albert Müller, Gerd Figlus and Horst Ehrmantraut in front of goalkeeper Gregor Quasten . Persistent injuries forced him to retire; he was declared a sports disabled person in 1976. Overall, he is listed in the statistics with 99 regional league appearances (7 goals) and 32 games in the 2nd Bundesliga (3 goals).
