Björn Ziegenbein (born April 30, 1986 in Alzenau-Wasserlos ) is a former German football player who was used as a two-footed offensive player , mostly as a winger in midfield .

Career

Youth in Alzenau and Munich

Ziegenbein, who was born in Alzenau in Lower Franconia, began his football career in his hometown, where he belonged to SV Hörstein from the district of the same name from the age of five . After two years at SV Hörstein, Ziegenbein moved to the city's most successful club, FC Bayern Alzenau , and played for their youth teams until he was 15. In the winter of 2000, however, Ziegenbein was also noticed by TSV 1860 Munich at an indoor tournament with a team from Lower Franconia , so that he was subsequently invited to trial training and finally moved to the Bavarian capital in summer 2001 .

In Munich Ziegenbein then played as a B-youth in the U-17 regional league and initially lived in the Catholic "Studienseminar Albertinum" since the TSV did not yet have its own boarding school . Two years later, Ziegenbein moved up to the club's A youth team, which took part in the 2003/04 season as a founding member of the South / Southwest relay of the newly created U-19 Bundesliga . First under coach Hartmut Herold and then under the direction of Claus Schromm , Ziegenbein established himself as a top performer in the Munich team and was used in all 26 games of the season. As third in the final table, the team could not qualify for the final round of the German A-Juniors championship. But Ziegenbein had also attracted the attention of the German Football Association through his achievements , so that on December 15, 2004 he had his only appearance in the U-19 national team . In the following season 2004/05 Ziegenbein played 19 more times for Munich in the U-19 Bundesliga, scoring a total of eight goals. However, the team missed the championship finals again as fourth in the final table.

Goat leg at TSV 1860

As early as spring 2005, Ziegenbein had also been involved in the game operations of Munich's second team in the men's area, so that at the end of the 2004/05 season of the third-class regional league he made a total of four appearances and thus kept the team that had only been promoted to this division in the previous year contributed. In the summer of 2005, Ziegenbein moved up to the men's division according to his age and established himself in the first half of the regional league season 2005/06 as a regular in the reserve team trained by Alfons Higl . However, when the professional team of the club, which competed in the 2nd Bundesliga in the 2005/06 season, was in danger of relegation at the beginning of the second half of the season, coach Walter Schachner , disappointed by the performance of his professionals, also resorted to players from the reserve team. On March 29, 2006, Ziegenbein played for the first time in Germany's second-highest division and played five more times in the 2nd Bundesliga, while he was only occasionally called up for the reserve team in the Regionalliga. Finally, TSV was able to secure relegation in the 2nd Bundesliga with only one point ahead of the relegation ranks, whereupon Ziegenbein moved up entirely to the professional squad for the following season 2006/07 .

During the first half of the season Ziegenbein initially completed 14 appearances in the 2nd Bundesliga and was able to play again in the focus of the Football Association, which used him on November 14th and December 6th, 2006 in the U-20 national team . At the beginning of the second half of the season, however, Ziegenbein no longer succeeded in asserting himself in the Munich professional squad, so that he was increasingly used in the club's regional league team. It was only at the end of the season that Ziegenbein managed to re-establish himself among the professionals, who after a coach change were now looked after by Marco Kurz and finally ended the season in eighth place in the table. On April 25, 2007, Ziegenbein also played for the U-21 national team for the first time , which also meant his last appearance for a German national team.

In the first half of the 2007/08 season , however, Ziegenbein was no longer used in the 2nd Bundesliga and also played in only three games in the second half of the season , so instead he played another 23 times for Munich's reserve in the Regionalliga season 2007 / 08 was called up. However, the reserve did not manage to qualify for the third league introduced for the 2008/09 season , with which the team played fourth class in the future. Ziegenbein then no longer extended his contract in Munich, which expired in summer 2008.

Change to Wehen Wiesbaden

Ziegenbein found a new employer in the second division club SV Wehen Wiesbaden , with whom he initially agreed on a two-year contract. But also in Wiesbaden Ziegenbein was initially only used in the reserve team, for which he played a total of 15 times in the fourth-class regional league in 2008/09 and scored five goals. Ziegenbein only played for the second division team from September 2009, so that he only made eleven appearances during the entire season. Wiesbaden also got relegated from the 2nd Bundesliga to the 3rd division , which meant that Ziegenbein's contract also lost its validity. He then signed a nine contract with a term until 2011. In the following third division season 2009/10 Ziegenbein then advanced to the top performer in the team coached by Hans Werner Moser , which, however, instead of immediate promotion , even played against relegation. But even after the resulting coaching change to Gino Lettieri , Ziegenbein remained a regular player and completed a total of 31 missions in which he also scored six goals. For the following season 2010/11 , however, Ziegenbein was informed that the club was no longer planning him, which is why he was only used in the first season game of the Wiesbaden Reserve in the regional league and subsequently left the club.

Goat leg at Hansa Rostock

On August 19, 2010, Ziegenbein signed a two-year contract with FC Hansa Rostock , who had recently been relegated from the 2nd Bundesliga to the 3rd division. Ziegenbein's move was initially free of charge, but in the event of Rostock's return to the 2nd Bundesliga, the clubs agreed a subsequent payment, which, according to media reports, should be in the low six-digit range. In Rostock, Ziegenbein immediately established himself as a regular player under coach Peter Vollmann and scored ten goals in fourteen missions by the winter break. As a result, he was elected player of the month in the 3rd league in October and November 2010, and at the end of the year he also won the NDR survey on Northern Germany's athletes of the year 2010. After the winter break, Ziegenbein was no longer able to build on these performances, but came nevertheless to another 19 missions in the Rostock jersey, where he scored another four goals. Thus, Ziegenbein played a decisive role in the resurgence of Rostock, through which his contract was automatically extended until 2013. At the end of the season, Ziegenbein also won the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern State Cup with Rostock , to which he himself had contributed with two goals in four appearances.

At the beginning of the following second division season 2011/12 Ziegenbein then belonged to the regular formation of the Hanseatic League, but could not build on his performances from the previous season. During the rest of the first half of the season, at the end of which the club, now threatened by relegation, replaced coach Vollmann with Wolfgang Wolf , Ziegenbein was therefore increasingly used as a substitute. After the coaching change, Ziegenbein only played a single league game before he was out of the season due to a meniscus injury. At the end of the season, Rostock was relegated to the 3rd division again, which meant that Ziegenbein's contract with Hansa lost its validity. He continued to play a role in the plans of the association, so that he was to continue his rehabilitation partly in Rostock and to receive a new contract offer. Ultimately, however, Ziegenbeins was not signed again by Hansa, which is why Hansa took part in training for Munich's reserve team in 1860 from October 2012 .

Hallescher FC

At the beginning of December 2012, Ziegenbein completed a trial training session at Halleschen FC , which took part in the third league as a promoted player under coach Sven Köhler in the 2012/13 season . As a result of this trial training, Ziegenbein received a contract with the HFC, initially dated until 2014. This was then extended until the end of the 2016 season.

Energie Cottbus and end of career

After the 2015/16 season he left Halle and joined the regional league team Energie Cottbus , with whom he was promoted to the third division for the 2018/19 season . After suffering cartilage damage in his knee in spring 2018, the striker fell out for a long time and had to end his active career in December 2018 without making another appearance for the Lausitzer.
