Ernst Bertele

Ernst Bertele (born March 6, 1921 , † after 1962) was a German football player .

Athletic career

After the Second World War , Bertele was a member of the TSG Ulm team in 1846 , which rose to the Oberliga Süd in 1946 as champions of the Württemberg regional league. There he placed himself with the club in the rear middle of the table. The team, which also Toni Turek , the world champion from 1954, played (1947-1950), had at the end of season 1948/49 against the tied BC Augsburg in a playoff to avoid relegation fight, because the - better - Torquotient according Regulations at that time were not a decision criterion. Almost two weeks after the Bavarian club had won their home game in the regular series, Bertele and his teammates were relegated to the state league again after a 0-1 defeat on a neutral pitch in Frankfurt. Here the direct return as a champion succeeded, but after an injury Bertele had to end his active career after 99 league games in 1953.

Bertele later succeeded as a coach in Swabian amateur football. He made headlines with FC Burlafingen when he threw his former club TSG Ulm 1846, which was first-class playing at the time, out of the competition with the fourth division team in November 1962 in the first round of the DFB Cup 1962/63 with a 3-2 win.

Bertele was a freight forwarder full-time , including the later Ulm league player Karl Schneiderhan among his employees.
