Career

societies

The goal- scoring inner striker played for Schwarz-Weiß Essen until 1926 , of which he belonged early on. But he only had his heyday afterwards at Hamburger SV , to which he had switched in order to be able to play successfully across the region. He succeeded in this at the latest in 1928 when he contributed to the 4-1 goal in the final of the German championship in the 5-2 win over Hertha BSC in the Altona stadium . In the spring of 1930 he even scored seven (according to another source: five) goals in a game for the North German championship against Eintracht Braunschweig . In the first few years he played as a half-forward on the side of the HSV legend "Tull" Harder , later in his place as a striker. He was a good technician and gambler, but is said to have preferred to avoid duels. In his six years in Hamburg he played 105 championship games and scored 121 goals - a "dream rate" of 1.15 goals per game, even if you have to consider that his HSV in Hamburg and northern Germany was almost unrivaled and only not as 1929/30 Participant in the final round of the German Championship. In these finals he played a total of eleven games. in which he scored seven goals.

Due to a serious knee injury, he returned to Schwarz-Weiß Essen in 1932, which the wine and spirits trader supported with advice and money after completing his career (1935).

In this circle, however, he did not succeed and he played much more inhibited than in the club. In 1928 he also took part in the Olympic football tournament in Amsterdam , but was not used.

With the North German selection, in which he encounters in twelve - taken together, cup and friendly matches - had been called, he reached three times (by Jankowski et al only twice.) The final of the German Cup ; In 1930, Northern Germany won it (2-0 against Brandenburg), and he scored one of the two goals.
