Edmund Adamkiewicz (born April 21, 1920 on the Elbe island Wilhelmsburg ; † April 4, 1991 ), called "Eddi" or "Adam", was a German soccer player who in 1942 played two international matches for the senior national team . The player completed a total of 221 league games in which he scored 93 goals from 1946 to 1955 in the upper leagues south and north for the clubs Eintracht Frankfurt , Hamburger SV , VfB Mühlburg and Harburger TB . In the finals in 1941, he was used for the first time in the games for the German Championship and completed 16 games for Hamburger SV by 1951 and scored seven goals.

Career

societies

At the age of 12 Edmund Adamkiewicz joined the youth department of FC Viktoria Wilhelmsburg . In the summer of 1939 he joined Hamburger SV , but was drafted into the labor service and therefore played in the current round of 1939/40 first for Eintracht Frankfurt , then for HSV. In ten games he contributed 16 hits for HSV to win the "War Gaume Championship" in Season A of the Nordmark division. Also in 1940/41, with 18 games and 16 goals, he had a significant share in winning the title in the Gauliga Nordmark for HSV. In the final round of the German soccer championship in 1941, “Adam” and his comrades at FC Schalke 04 failed after victories over Jena and Königsberg. During the war, the man from Wilhelmsburg played for Altona 93 in 1943/44 and returned from HSV Groß Born to Hamburger SV in the current round in 1944/45 .

In 1946/47, after seven games for HSV, he spontaneously moved (after a dispute in the half-time break of a championship game!) To Eintracht Frankfurt, played for the Riederwälder in 20 games and scored 15 goals. As in numerous similar cases, the envisaged blocking period was disregarded. In the summer of 1947 he returned to Hamburger SV. In the four rounds up to the 1950/51 season he was involved in winning the title in the Oberliga Nord with 98 games and 72 goals. In both playoffs for the title on May 2, 1948 and May 22, 1949 against FC St. Pauli , he was listed as a goal scorer for HSV. In the final of the zone championship in 1948 on June 13, in a 6-1 win against St. Pauli, he opened the scoring with the 1-0 in the 13th minute. He took part in all of the finals between 1948–1951 (ten games - seven goals). Impact on performance in the 1950s finals was certainly due to HSV's exhausting trip to America in May of this year. The HSV travel group came back from America on May 26th, and on May 28th they competed in Kiel against the team from SC Union 06 Berlin . Thanks to their individual skills, it was still enough to achieve a superior 7-0 victory. But six days later, on July 4, 1950, the team of coach Georg Knöpfle, weakened by the after-effects of the travel stress, lost the game in Düsseldorf against Offenbacher Kickers with 2: 3 goals. The men around Horst Buhtz turned the game around in the second half after a 2-0 deficit - Adamkiewicz had scored the 1-0 - still victorious for the Hessians and moved into the final.

In the summer of 1951 he followed his former HSV teammate Heinz Trenkel to VfB Mühlburg in Karlsruhe in the Oberliga Süd . After two rounds in Baden, in 1952/53 was the debut round of the Karlsruher SC , the veteran was drawn back to the north. With the Harburger TB 1865 he played two seasons ( 1953 to 1955 ) in the Oberliga Nord and ended his league career at the age of 35 in the Jahnhöhe Stadium.

The "football wanderer" played 221 games from 1946 to 1955, in which he scored 93 goals. Before that he had already played successfully in the Gauliga Nordmark from 1939 to 1942 and in the Gauliga Hamburg from 1942 to 1945 .

National team

In two test matches in October 1942 Adamkiewicz had convinced the Reich coach Sepp Herberger , so he came on November 1, 1942 in Stuttgart against Croatia for his first appearance in the senior national team . But he was not allowed to chase goals, no, the coach placed him next to Paul Janes in defense. On November 22nd, 1942 in a 5-2 win against Slovakia in Pressburg, he scored his only international goal in the 62nd minute with the goal to make it 4-2 - playing on the right wing. After the game against Slovakia, the national team's game operations came to a standstill for eight years due to the events of World War II and the subsequent exclusion from FIFA . On February 8, 1943, Sepp Herberger conducted a DFB course and an audition on February 14 in Frankfurt am Main, in which Adamkiewicz took part, but there were no further international matches. After the Second World War Adamkiewicz was appointed to several courses to rebuild the national team and was in this context in representative games for the North on the field, but the international break in the years 1946-1950 prevented him from further appointments to the national team. When the first international match against Switzerland kicked off in Stuttgart on November 22, 1950, his international career was over and the Hamburg man had run out of time.
