Blue and white Langenbochum
Blau-Weiß Langenbochum was a sports club from Herten in the Recklinghausen district . The soccer team played in the highest Westphalian amateur league for five years .
history
The club was founded on July 14, 1928 as DJK Baldur Langenbochum and initially took part in the games of the Catholic German youth force. After the National Socialists came to power in 1933, the club's name was changed to Blau-Weiß Langenbochum . After the end of the Second World War , Otto Tibulski took over as coach. Under the two-time German national player, he was promoted to the district class in 1948. The year of promotion was overshadowed by the tragic death of goalkeeper Josef Pötter, who had an accident in a game and later died.
The club spent a total of 15 years in the district class before being promoted to the then fourth-class national league in 1963 . Right in the promotion season, the team was runner-up behind the amateurs of FC Schalke 04 . In 1965, blue-white rose as a champion in the third-class association league at the time . After a seventh place in the promotion season 1965/66 , the Langenbochum team even reached fifth place two years later . In 1970 , however, it went back down to the regional league, before the blue-whites were passed through to the district league as the defeated bottom of the table in the following season. Blau-Weiß Langenbochum produced two Bundesliga players, Gerhard Kentschke and Rolf Kucharski , and Gerd Möller, a player in the GDR upper league .
