Athletic career

Daniel Rauch was a well-known player in Wismar football in the early 1950s. On September 3, 1950, he was with the SG Vorwärts Wismar in Erfurt in the final for the soccer cup of the German Sports Committee . Wismar was defeated, however, with Rauch as a center forward to the final opponent SG Lauscha with 0: 1. Subsequently, the SG Vorwärts was converted into the company sports community (BSG) unit Wismar and for the football season 1950/51, together with the local rival BSG Anker, was classified in the newly created second-class GDR league . There Rauch played 16 of the 18 point games played with the BSG unit and was the top scorer of his team with nine goals. He was usually also used again as a center forward. As the table penultimate of the northern relay unit had to play a decider to stay up against the table penultimate of the southern relay Motor Nordhausen, which was lost 7-0.

After his team was relegated, Rauch moved to the neighboring community of Motor (formerly Anker), which had made it to the league, the top division of GDR football. In the league season 1951/52 Rauch completed all 36 point games, in which he mostly played center forward again, but was temporarily called up on the right attacking wing. With twelve championship goals he was again the most accurate player on his team. At the end of the season he had to relegate again, Motor Wismar had only achieved relegation position 17 after 22 defeats.

With the beginning of the GDR league season 1952/53 Rauch was already 29 years old. Still counting among the players, he was in the first four league games and had already scored three goals again. In the fifth game he was injured so badly in the 20th minute that he could not be used in the first team until the end of the season. It was not until the 13th match day of the following 1953/54 season that he was used again after more than a year in a GDR league game for 30 minutes. Eight game days later on February 21, 1954, he played again for 33 minutes in the GDR league, it was his last point game for the motor team. In 1956 he took over the training of his old community unit Wismar, which now played in the fourth-rate district league.
