career

In Alsenborn, the captain of the 1954 world championship team, Fritz Walter , allowed himself to be persuaded to take on a "supervisory and advisory role" at the local SVA in his new residence. The "Dorfmannschaft" rose annually from 1963 to 1965 from the A-Class West Palatinate, via the 2nd Amateur League West Palatinate and 1st Amateur League Southwest , up to the 1965/66 season in the Regionalliga Southwest. In the third regional league season 1967/68 the SVA succeeded for the first time in winning the championship and entering the promotion round to the Bundesliga .

Before the 1968/69 season , Alsenborn had to cope with the loss of goal scorer Jürgen Schieck , and met this persona by signing talent from the amateur camp such as Werner Adler , Manfred Lenz , Franz Schwarzwälder , Erwin Schwehm, Matthias Volk , Werner Fuchs , Bernhard Oberle and Alban Wüst . In terms of sport, the situation was well received by the team and coach Otto Render . The 18-year-old attacker Erwin Schwehm, who came to Alsenborn from SV Wiesenthalerhof from the Kaiserslautern suburb of Erzhütten-Wiesenthalerhof , made his debut on the starting day, August 19, 1968, in a 3-1 win at Wormatia Worms in what was then the second-class Regionalliga Südwest. He came on in the 75th minute for right winger Manfred Feldmüller .

In the last days of October 1968, however, the fast winger Josef Sattmann was involved in a car accident, where he suffered a serious fracture of the base of the skull and other head injuries. Due to the severity of the injuries and the long-term consequences, the hopeful talent could no longer continue his sporting career. Schwehm scored his first regional league goal on December 9, 1968 in a 2-1 away win at Eintracht Trier. On April 11, 1969, Trainer Render had a fatal car accident. On April 28, Schwehm contributed two goals to the 5-0 away win against Völklingen. Alsenborn took part in the attack with Feldmüller, Lorenz Horr , Wüst, Schwehm and Volk. At the end of the round, Alsenborn celebrated defending its title and again moved into the Bundesliga promotion round. Schwehm had scored seven goals in 20 appearances. In the promotion round he was used in the games against the promoted Rot-Weiß Oberhausen (both games), VfB Lübeck and Hertha Zehlendorf.

In his second round at Alsenborn, 1969/70, he came under the new coach Heiner Ueberle and at the side of Horr's successor Karel Nepomucký to 17 missions in which he scored five goals. The SVA won the third championship in a row. In the promotion round, there were seven appearances against Arminia Bielefeld, Tennis Borussia Berlin, VfL Osnabrück and Karlsruher SC. In the 3-2 home win against Osnabrück, he scored a goal on the left wing. For the 1970/71 round he signed a new contract with 1. FC Saarbrücken and moved to Saarland.

However, he could not continue his career with the black and blue team from the Malstatt district. Under player- coach Horst Zingraf and at the side of the other two newcomers Werner Kaiser and Peter Kracke , as well as the talented attacker Wolfgang Seel , he only played in eleven games and did not score. After just one round, he ended his contract with Saarbrücken and signed for the 1971/72 season with SSV Reutlingen 05 in the Regionalliga Süd .

In the Swabian Alb with the Black-Reds from the Kreuzeiche Stadium , however, he did not get back on the road to success under coach Willibald Hahn and alongside teammates such as Wolfgang Böhni , Günther Kasperski and Rolf Schafstall . The SSV finished tenth in 1971/72 and Schwehm had not scored a hit in 14 missions. In his second Reutlinger season, 1972/73, he increased his numbers to 16 league games with one goal, but the SSV got under coach Milovan Beljin and teammates like goalkeeper Hans Hauser , Klaus Vöhringer and Rolf Thommes in the amateur camp. After a total of 78 second-class regional league appearances with 13 goals, Erwin Schwehm's high-class career ended.
