Life
Emil Czerwinski, a son born in Gelsenkirchen from the Lyck district in Masuria , East Prussia , joined FC Schalke 04 at the age of 18. He began in the team as a striker on the right side, then played in 1925 in the Ruhrgaumeistermannschaft between Thomas Student and Ernst Kuzorra on half right, before moving to the left wing position . Here the small, technically savvy player found his regular place in the “ Schalker Kreisel ”. During this time he had his last name Germanized in Rothardt . With FC Schalke 04 he won the West German championship in 1929 and 1930. In the summer of 1930 he was one of the 14 players in the first Schalke team who were declared professional players and banned for cash payments. The ban was lifted in the spring of 1931, and in 1932 the team was again West German champions.
Still with Rothardt on the left winger next to center forward Hermann Nattkämper , the "Knappen" reached the final of the German championship for the first time in 1933 . In the following season , Rothardt initiated the renewed participation in the finals with two hits in the semifinals against SV Waldhof Mannheim . In the final , he prepared Fritz Szepan's equalizer with a corner kick to make it 1-1 in the 88th minute, after which Kuzorra scored the winning goal for FC Schalke 04's first German championship just before the final whistle. In the championship finals in 1935 he was only used in two group games; his position was then taken by Adolf Urban, who was nine years his junior .
Rothardt scored 42 goals in 87 competitive games for FC Schalke 04. After he left the club in 1935, he settled in the Bergisches Land as a host.
