Claus Brune (born October 1, 1949 ) is a former German soccer player . The offensive player played a total of 62 games in the Bundesliga from 1968 to 1973 with the clubs Hannover 96 (61-11) and Wuppertaler SV (1-0) and scored eleven goals.

Career

Brune moved from SF Ricklingen to Bundesliga club Hannover 96 in 1968. Under DFB coach Udo Lattek he was appointed to the group of the youth national team and the German amateur team. Coach Zlatko Čajkovski , who had taken over the office of the 96 at the beginning of the season for the 1968/69 season, made Brune's debut on August 17, 1968. In the away game at SV Werder Bremen , which was lost 3-2, Brune played until the 72nd minute, in which he was replaced. In addition to Brune, Wilfried Ahnefeld , Peter Loof and Rainer Zobel were also new to the “Reds”. Despite the prominent attackers Jupp Heynckes and Josip Skoblar , Hannover only finished 11th at the end of the round and Brune had made eleven league appearances (1 goal). In the second Bundesliga year, 1969/70, the attacker, who can be used on both wing positions, was part of the regular line-up with 29 league games and eight goals. With Zvezdan Čebinac a new right winger had come, but the table went down, Hannover fought for relegation. Coach Čajkovski was dismissed on December 8, 1969 and at the end of the round, the 96ers finished 13th with 30:38 points. The weak away record with 5:29 points and the negative goal difference with 49:61 goals contributed significantly to the poor lap record. The outstanding hit rate of the midfield engine Hans Siemensmeyer with 34 league appearances and 12 goals helped decisively in the realization of the relegation. In his third Bundesliga year, 1970/71, Brune experienced the work of coach Helmuth Johannsen . Rudolf Nafziger , Ferdinand Keller , Horst Bertl and Willi Reimann had new strikers for the attack , with center forward Keller proving to be the hoped-for striker reinforcement with 19 hits. Brune came under Johannsen on 21 league appearances (2 goals) and the "Reds" finished at the end of the round in 9th place. After 61 Bundesliga games, 2 cup games and 4 trade fair cup games (one each against AIK Stockholm and Leeds United, twice against Ajax Amsterdam), he then moved to Wuppertaler SV in the second -rate regional football league West in the 1971/72 season .

In his first year, the 1971/72 season , Brune and the team from the Stadion am Zoo under coach Horst Buhtz were six points ahead of Rot-Weiss Essen champions. Former Italian pro Buhtz favored an offensive system with two points Gustav Jung as the classic right winger with speed and flank strength , and striker Günter Pröpper in the attack center. Heinz-Dieter Lömm acted as a "hanging left winger" and clearly came from midfield. Brune made his debut on August 29, 1971 in a 6-0 home win against SpVgg. Erkenschwick in the Regionalliga West. He was substituted on for Lömm in the 58th minute. "Meister Pröpper" scored five goals and at the end of the round took the top scorer's crown with an incredible 52 goals. Brune was used in the league in 22 games and scored two goals when winning the title. In the subsequent round of promotion, Wuppertal secured promotion to the Bundesliga with 8 wins from 8 games. Brune was substituted on in the second half in attack in the games against VfL Osnabrück (5: 0), Tasmania 1900 Berlin (5: 2) and Borussia Neunkirchen (3: 2). In the Bundesliga round 1972/73 he was substituted on by Buhtz only in the 3-0 home win against VfL Bochum on September 23, 1972 in the 68th minute. He joined SV Arminia Hannover for the last season of the old second-class regional league and thus went back to his homeland.

In 1973/74 he once again proved his scoring risk with 15 goals in 33 league appearances in the “Blues”. The Armines took 9th place in 1974, but were not qualified for the second Bundesliga , which started in 1974/75 . Therefore, Brune joined Olympia Wilhelmshaven for the 1974/75 season . With the Olympics he finished 17th in the debut year of the 2nd Bundesliga, but this meant relegation. He had scored five goals in 25 second division appearances alongside teammates like Bernd Helmschrot , Willi Götz and Hans-Peter Gummlich . In the following season he ended his career for health reasons.
