Emil Oberle (born November 16, 1889 in Karlsruhe ; † December 25, 1955 there ), also called "Mile", was a football player for the Karlsruhe FC Phoenix .

Career

In the 1907/08 season, the left winger came from the youth to the first team of FC Phoenix. The Karlsruhe FV dominated the A-class in Central Baden and Kickers Stuttgart was the champion in southern Germany . In his second year in the first at Phönix, the first year of regional concentration, the "blue-blacks" won the championship in the southern district league with one point ahead of Kickers Stuttgart. The 1. FC Pforzheim and the KFV followed behind. The Freiburg and Mannheim representatives had no chance in the championship. The title win of the southern German championship before 1. FC Nürnberg was followed by the triumph in the final of the German soccer championship 1909. Emil Oberle and his teammates won the final on May 30th in Wroclaw with 4-2 goals against defending champion Viktoria 89 Berlin .

Almost two months earlier, on April 4, 1909, Oberle had made his debut in the national team of the DFB . In his hometown of Karlsruhe, the German team achieved their first success in their sixth international match with 1-0 goals against Switzerland. It was the "South German selection", the "North German" fought on the same day in Budapest against Hungary in the official fifth international match with 3: 3 a draw. After his international debut, Oberle had an almost three-year break in the national team.

With his team he fought a neck and neck race with the Karlsruher FV in the southern district league in 1909/10. In the semi-finals of the German championship, the men around Max Breunig , Gottfried Fuchs and Julius Hirsch prevailed with a narrow 2-1 win against Oberles Phoenix.

In the next few years, the left winger did not experience any significant successes with his club, the KFV dominated. Personally, however, in the round of 1911/12, four further appointments to the national team brought him visible recognition for his performance in the club. On March 24, 1912 in Zwolle in a 5: 5 against Holland, Karl Wegele and Emil Oberle von Phönix formed the pair of wings and supplied the KFV inner storm with promoters, fox and stag with usable flanks from the wing. In a match report it is stated: “The more often center runner Breunig used the two Phoenix wingers, the more chances to score. Fantastically beautiful combinations of the fast and tricky Wegele and Oberle brought one goal after the other. ”In the last Olympic test on May 5, 1912 in St. Gallen against Switzerland, in a 2-1 victory, Wegele and Oberle formed the pair of wings National team.

Emil Oberle was absent from the opening game of the 1912 Olympic Games in Stockholm on June 29th. The KFV interior storm was torn apart and Julius Hirsch was placed on the unloved left wing. In the two following games against Russia and Hungary, Oberle came to play during the Olympic tournament. This brought Emil Oberle to five international matches and one goal. He and his club colleague Karl Wegele formed what was probably the best wing tongs of his time in Germany. Phönix Karlsruhe was envied for this duo of two excellent wingers in the pioneering days of German football.

From 1913 Oberle, who also played in the Karlsruhe city selection, but not in the southern German selection, withdrew from the first team of Phoenix, especially since the banking specialist was professionally engaged outside of Karlsruhe.

Emil Oberle worked as a banker in Istanbul from 1912 onwards as part of the “ Baghdad Railway ” projects . This resulted in his engagement as a football player from Galatasaray Istanbul . Until 1918 Oberle played at Galatasaray Istanbul and shot u. a. two goals each in the derbies against Fenerbahçe Istanbul on May 4, 1913 and November 23, 1913. Emil's brother Joseph Oberle also played at Galatasaray Istanbul at this time. At the end of the First World War , Emil Oberle returned to Germany.

In September 1921 the brothers Emil and Joseph Oberle arranged for the first transfer of a Turkish football player to Germany, also due to the fact that they could speak Turkish. In a Hamburg hospital they were able to convince Bekir Refet , who was seriously injured in a test match on September 20, 1921 between Galatasaray Istanbul and Hamburger SV , to sign with Phönix Karlsruhe. The striker Bekir Refet became Turkey's first international footballer.
