Erwin Schädler ( April 8, 1917 - October 9, 1991 ) was a German football player . The outside runner or half-striker in the World Cup system at that time was used in four games in the German national soccer team in 1937 and 1938 .

Football career

The outside runner and half-forward began his footballing activities at Ulmer FV in 1894 and became a national player there. When Schädler and his Ulmer FV prevailed in the promotion round to the Gauliga Württemberg in the 1936/37 round , he was appointed to the national team for the first time at the age of 19. In total, he played four international matches with the national team in 1937 and 1938 . On a double match day of the national team, on March 21, 1937, the young talent from Ulm made his debut in the DFB selection. With Andreas Kupfer and Wilhelm Sold he formed the German runner row in a 3-2 win against Luxembourg. His second appeal came three months later in a 3-1 draw against Latvia. His third and fourth international match he completed in the 1937/38 season when he finished 8th in the Gauliga Württemberg with the Ulm FV . The third international match took place on August 29, 1937 in Königsberg against Estonia; the German team won the World Cup qualifier 4-1. Walter Rose , Goldbrunner and Schädler formed the runner-up. When the DFB held another double international match on March 20, 1938, the man from Ulm came in Wuppertal against Luxembourg (2: 1) in the second selection for the fourth and last international match; at the same time, the A selection competed against Hungary in Nuremberg (1: 1). On May 16, 1937, the national team attracted attention with an 8-0 win against Denmark and thus established the reputation of the legendary " Breslau-Elf ". The outstanding pair of outside runners from Schweinfurt, Kupfer and Albin Kitzinger , together with the additional reservoir provided by the Austrian national players, who were eligible to play for the German national team after the annexation of Austria, prevented additional appointments from Schädler.

Schadler was in the 1938/39 season in the selection of Württemberg in the Reichsbund Cup in the games against Westphalia (1: 0) and Central Germany (8: 3) and was only eliminated in the semi-finals on February 5, 1939 in Stuttgart with 1: 2 against Silesia out of the competition. He ran as the left outer runner on the side of center runner Alfred Picard . In the 1940/41 season, he was now playing for Eintracht Frankfurt, he represented the colors of the Southwest team in the two games in the intermediate round against Nordmark (0-0 aet; 4-2). In the replay on January 12, 1941 in Saarbrücken, the young Fritz Walter from Kaiserslautern stormed as a center forward in the selection of southwest.

With the German national student team, he won the world championship at the Academic World Games in Vienna in August 1939 with two games against Hungary (2-1) and Italy (3-0). Other players included Gunther Baumann and Fritz Hack .

During the Second World War he played for Eintracht Frankfurt and stayed in Hesse after the war. After the end of the war, Schädler was a member of the Eintracht team for the first few years of the southern football league until 1950, interrupted by one season, 1948/49, at Ulm in 1846. In the literature listed, there is a discrepancy in the number of those completed by Schädler Games in the Oberliga Süd for Eintracht Frankfurt. In the player lexicon he is listed with 59 and in the Eintracht book by Matheja with 78 league appearances. The number of games at Ulm in the 1948/49 season with 29 games are given by both reference works. With Ulm, the ex-national player at the side of Toni Turek and Hans Eberle was relegated as 15th and then played the opening game of the round at Waldhof Mannheim on September 4, 1949 at Eintracht before he ended his playing career .

In later years he was a trainer at Preußen Frankfurt and at Spvgg. 03 Neu-Isenburg , with which he became German amateur champion in 1956 and rose to the second league south as Hessen champion .
