biography

Ferdinand Fabra grew up in Lippstadt , where he graduated from the Ostendorf School in Lippstadt in 1926 and later studied sport in Berlin. Fabra's career as a player was rather inconspicuous (including 1927/28 at BFC Preussen during his studies in Berlin). In 1935 and 1936 he was assistant to the Reich trainer Otto Nerz . In 1936 and 1937, also during the Olympic Games in Berlin, Ferdinand Fabra was Finland's national coach at nine games.

In 1946/47 and 1947/48 he was the first "real" Dortmund coach to coach Borussia Dortmund . In 1947 his team became Westphalian champions. In 1948 Borussia became West German champions and repeated this success the following year. On August 1, 1948 Fabra was replaced by the Viennese trainer Edy Havlicek and BVB started the second season of the Oberliga West. Between July 1951 and February 1952, Ferdinand Fabra was the coach of the 1954 world champion Karl Mai at SpVgg Fürth .

After his career in soccer, Ferdinand Fabra was a teacher at the Ostendorf-Gymnasium in Lippstadt from 1954 to 1978 . Until his death he lived with his son in Hamburg.

Fabra was an avid chess player. As part of the Dortmund Chess Days , the Ferdinand Fabra Prize has been awarded every year since 2008 to outstanding young Dortmund players.
