Career

Franz Hanreiter began his career at the SC Burgtheater in Hernals , with whom he was able to celebrate promotion to the second division in 1932. After a short stop at SK Admira Vienna at the beginning of 1933, he was able to switch to the small first division club SC Wacker Vienna in Meidling , where he ran up in a storm. The newcomer soon became one of the club's important players and already made his debut on May 14, 1935 in Prague against Czechoslovakia as a connector as part of the European Cup of National Football Teams 1933-1935 in the Austrian national team . His best game in the team was played by Franz Hanreiter on January 19, 1936 in the famous international match against Spain , which Austria won 5: 4 in Madrid. The Spaniards were leading 4: 3 until shortly before the end, before Hanreiter turned the game around with a double. The Austrian press knew how to appreciate this achievement and wrote: "Little Meidlinger not only has an excellent understanding of the game and a heart to fight, but also scored two splendid goals that ultimately decided the game for Austria."

After this success, Franz Hanreiter moved to the French first division promoted FC Rouen at the end of 1936 . With Jean Nicolas , Bernard Antoinette and Roger Rio, there was a particularly dangerous trio in the Normans ' starting eleven and also a compatriot with Andreas Matthäus, who had taken on the citizenship of his ancestors and when Mathieu André became the French international . In 1937 and 1938, Rouen FC finished the season in fourth place in Division 1 ; in the cup competition , Racing Strasbourg prevented Hanreiter from reaching the final in 1937.

In 1938 Franz Hanreiter returned - possibly because of the reduction in the number of foreign players per team introduced in France to two - to Austria , which had meanwhile been annexed by the German Reich , where he went to his former club SK Admira Vienna in the Halves series. With Admira he became Austrian and East Marks champion in the 1938/39 season , and between 1940 and 1942 he made seven appearances in the Reich German national team . After he was called to the Eastern Front as a soldier, Franz Hanreiter was still able to pursue football in the " Rote Jäger " soldier team of Air Force officer Hermann Graf with prominent German players such as Fritz Walter , Alfons Moog and Hermann Eppenhoff .

Hanreiter returned from captivity in December 1946 and began a career as a coach. He looked after Spora Luxemburg for three years , spent a season and a half at Floridsdorfer AC , then at Columbia XXI and in the 1960s at the Lower Austrian Football Association.

In 1995 the Hanreitergasse in Vienna- Floridsdorf (21st district) was named after him.
