career

Before and during World War II, until 1945

For the 1934/35 round, the almost 20-year-old middle runner Erwin Reinhardt came from SV Harburg to Hamburger SV. The defensive player experienced his first championship win in the Gauliga Nordmark with HSV in the 1936/37 round. In the years 1938, 1939 and 1941 three more titles followed. In the finals for the German championship he took fourth place three times (1937 to 1939) with the “Rothosen”. Together with his teammates Walter Warning , Richard Dörfel , Herbert Holdt , Werner Höffmann , Siegfried Jessen , Eugen Kahl , Erwin Seeler , Friedo Dörfel , Rudolf Noack and Gustav Carstens , Reinhardt represented the football "Hamburger SV brand" during these years.

With the regional selection Nordmark he won in 1937/38 after successes against Pomerania, Niederrhein, in the semifinals with 3-0 against Baden - the three international Otto Siffling , Kurt Langenbein and Karl Striebinger played for Baden on the offensive - and in the final on March 6th 1938 in Erfurt with 3: 1 goals against the southwest - Wilhelm Sold , Jakob Eckert , Josef Fath - the competition of the Reichsbund Cup . The HSV players Warning, Richard Dörfel, Reinhardt, Höffmann, Noack and Carstens were there by Otto Lüdecke , Hans Rohde , Wilhelm Ahlers and Herbert Panse from Eimsbütteler TV and on the left outrunner position by Erwin, who was still playing at SC Victoria Hamburg in 1937/38 Seeler supports. In all four competition games, Erwin Reinhardt had directed the defensive of the victorious Gauliga selection Nordmark as center runner.

Due to the circumstances of the Second World War , he was no longer able to take part in the games of the Hamburger SV in the war rounds from 1941/42 to 1944/45 - only 1943/44 an assignment is noted.

City League Hamburg and Football Oberliga Nord, 1945 to 1951

After the end of the Second World War he belonged to the round 1945/46 - City League Hamburg - until 1948/49 - Football Oberliga Nord -, again to the regular cast of the "Rothosen". When winning the city ​​championship in 1946 with 22: 2 points and 75:11 goals, the middle runner had played in eleven games. As runner-up, FC St. Pauli was only one point behind and represented the outstanding sporting competition of the Rothenbaum team in the next few years. In the three-way battle at the top, the Elf from Millerntor prevailed in 1947, just ahead of Concordia , HSV secured the Runner-up. Reinhardt had directed the defense in front of goalkeeper Walter Warning in 27 games. The “miracle team” from Millerntor refrained from participating in the draw for the British Zone Championship and so the HSV eleven, who were finding better and better, played their way with successes over VfB Lübeck, FC Schalke 04 (two games; the replay was won by HSV in Schalke with 2 : 0 goals), in the semifinals against Rot-Weiß Oberhausen in the final on July 13, 1947 in Düsseldorf against Borussia Dortmund. As in the previous games, the guarantee of the 1-0 success of coach Hans Tauchert's team was the safe defense of HSV with goalkeeper Warning, defenders Richard Dörfel and Holdt, as well as the runner row with Heinz Werner , Reinhardt and Erwin Seeler.

In the two following rounds, 1947/48 and 1948/49, Hamburger SV and St. Pauli were tied at the top of the table. Reinhardt and colleagues prevailed in the respective playoffs for the championship with 2: 1 (1948) and 5: 3 (1949) goals. After successes over SV Hamborn 07, TSV Braunschweig and in the final against permanent competitor St. Pauli, the British zone championship was won again in 1948. In the final round of the German soccer championship, however, the HSV team could not assert itself against TuS Neuendorf (1948) and VfR Mannheim (1949) and were eliminated in the first round. The reliable stopper had completed a total of 21 league games in both rounds and suffered a cheekbone fracture in the last first round game in 1948/49. On October 17, 1948, the performance of the HSV defense line was recognized by its use in the NFV selection in the representative game in Nuremberg against southern Germany. From 1937 to 1949 Reinhardt had played for Hamburger SV in 29 final rounds of the German championship.

The end of his long playing career formed the two following years 1949/50 and 1950/51 in the Oberliga Nord, which he completed for Concordia Hamburg. In the first season he reached sixth place with his teammates Herbert Dannemann , Werner Heitkamp and Kurt Hinsch with “Cordi”. This was the best Oberliga placement in the history of the Black-Red Marienthal club. Reinhardt had been in 28 league games and the two successes against runner-up St. Pauli crowned the round. In the summer of 1951, after another 27 league appearances, just before his 37th birthday, he ended his playing career as a contract player.

After the end of his active time, he worked as a trainer in northern Germany. He jumped for the first time at Concordia from March 1952 to June 1952 and also tried from January 1953 to save the team from the Marienthal sports field from relegation from the league. After relegation he looked after "Cordi" from 1953 to 1956 in the Hamburg amateur league before he was again in action as a coach with Phoenix Lübeck in the north soccer league in the 1957/58 season.
