Ernst Lehner (born November 7, 1912 in Augsburg , † January 10, 1986 in Aschaffenburg ) was a German football player who was active in the 1930s for Swabia Augsburg and during the Second World War for Blau-Weiß 90 Berlin . The striker made 65 international matches for the German national team between 1933 and 1942 , took part in the World Championships in 1934 and 1938 and was at times both a record international player and goal scorer. The home stadium of Swabia Augsburg, the Ernst-Lehner-Stadion , is named after him.
Player career
Lehner played as a striker for TSV Schwaben Augsburg , where he started playing football at the age of eight. In 1935 he got down for the first time with Schwaben Augsburg from the Gauliga Bayern . He stayed with TSV even after relegation and rose again in 1938 with his club in the Gauliga. Schwaben Augsburg was bottom of the table with only eleven points and immediately rose again in 1939. Lehner then wanted to move to the more successful local rivals BC Augsburg , but had to stay with the Swabians, as club changes in the same location had meanwhile been prohibited. When he was posted to Berlin as a soldier in 1940, he switched to Blau-Weiß 90 Berlin . He reached the semi-finals of the German soccer championship and returned to Schwaben Augsburg in 1942.
After the war he played again for the Swabians from 1945 to 1947 and scored 19 goals in 58 games. He then switched to Viktoria Aschaffenburg , who was able to find him a job in the municipal sports department. For Aschaffenburg he played 40 league games in which he scored four goals. There he worked as a player-coach until the end of 1951. In 1952 he ended his active career and became a trainer in Aschaffenburg.
From 1933 to 1942 he was in action for the national team 65 times. The first time it was set up on November 19, 1933 in Zurich in a 2-0 away win against Switzerland. He stood out for his speed and precise flanks, but did not score a goal. Nevertheless he was appointed to the squad for the 1934 World Cup in Italy. There he scored his first goal in the match for third place on June 7, 1934 in Naples in a 3-2 win against Austria, which fell after just 25 seconds when the Austrian goalkeeper Peter Platzer could not properly parry a shot by Matthias Heidemann . He himself scored in the 42nd minute to make it 3-1. He scored 31 goals in his international matches and was both a record international player for the DFB from October 17, 1936 to December 7, 1941, as well as a record scorer in wartime. On April 14, 1940, he beat the record held by Richard Hofmann with his 25th goal . It was not until November 16, 1955 that Fritz Walter was able to overtake him with 32 hits. His 31st and last goal, scored against Sweden on September 20, 1942 , is attributed to Karl Decker in some sources . Until September 6, 2006 he was one of the top 10 goalscorers of the national team, then he fell back to eleventh place due to the goals of Miroslav Klose and Michael Ballack against San Marino .
Lehner was a member of the Breslau-Elf , which defeated Denmark 8-0 in Breslau in 1937 and won ten of eleven international matches in 1937 . His greatest sporting success was third place with the German national team at the 1934 World Cup in Italy . He also took part in the 1938 World Cup in France and was eliminated in the first round, the round of 16, after a replay against Switzerland .
