from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ernst Löttke (born August 28, 1919 ) is a former German soccer player. The attacker completed 217 league games for VfR Mannheim from 1947 to 1954 in what was then the first-class soccer Oberliga Süd, in which he scored 90 goals. In 1949 he won the German soccer championship with Mannheim.

Career

Löttke played for VfR Mannheim in the Oberliga Süd for ten years . As the runner-up in the 1948/49 season , he was qualified for the final round of the German championship with the team alongside the South German champions Kickers Offenbach and third-placed Bayern Munich . He played both the quarter-finals , which he won 5-0 against Hamburger SV on June 12, 1949 in Frankfurt am Main , in which he scored the goal to make it 4-0 in the 84th minute, and that on June 26, 1949 in Gelsenkirchen won the semi-finals 2: 1 against Kickers Offenbach, in which he had put his team in the lead in the first minute.

In the final against West German champions Borussia Dortmund on July 10, 1949 in Stuttgart's Neckarstadion , he equalized the first goal he scored in the 74th minute to make it 1-0 for Herbert Erdmann's fifth-minute lead. After he had taken Dortmund's lead again in the 82nd minute, Ernst Langlotz forced extra time with his goal in the 85th minute . With his second goal in the 108th minute, Löttke scored the 3-2 winner, with which VfR Mannheim - to this day - won their only German championship. Almost all of the players came from the VfR, the city and the surrounding area, with the exception of the beefy striker Löttke from Pomerania, a former SS man who had pulled the game committee chairman Hermann Fuchs out of the Ludwigsburg internment camp and who at the beginning of 1947 under a pseudonym as “Röckel “Played, because he was actually still in custody.

In fourth place in the 1949/50 season behind SpVgg Fürth , VfB Stuttgart and Kickers Offenbach , he again took part in the final round of the German championship with VfR Mannheim . After he scored a goal on May 21, 1950 in Gladbeck in the 3-1 round of 16 victory over Borussia Dortmund, he and his team fell out on June 4, 1950 in Frankfurt am Main in the 2-1 defeat in the semifinals against Prussia Dellbrück .

After his playing career, Löttke was still active as a coach in amateur football in the Mannheim area, including 1955/56 at SpVgg Ilvesheim, with which he won the championship in the 2nd amateur league Rhein-Neckar.
