Franz Krauthausen (born February 27, 1946 in Oberhausen ) is a former German soccer player .

Career

Youth / SC Jülich (1954–1965)

From the age of eight to fifteen, Krauthausen was active in the youth department of FC Germania Dürwiß . In 1961 he moved to the youth department of SC Jülich 1910 , where he was employed in the A-youth with immediate special permission. Youth chairman Joseph Krott - “maker” of the youth work - played a major role in this and had a formative effect on Krauthausen. This not only prevailed in the first team in the 1964/65 season, but also guaranteed promotion to the national league .

1. FC Cologne (1965–1966)

In the 1965/66 season, Franz Krauthausen was under contract with Bundesliga club 1. FC Köln , made his debut on August 21, 1965 (2nd matchday) at a guest appearance in Kaiserslautern and scored in the 2: 3 defeat with the interim 2: 1 Leadership also his first Bundesliga.

The constant competition with Anton Regh , Ole Sørensen and Leo Wilden for the disputed eleventh place in the team of coach Georg Knöpfle in the 1965/66 season and the obligations of Heinz Flohe , Jürgen Jendrossek and Karl-Heinz Struth for the 1966/67 season left him after 11 league (4 goals), two DFB Cup and two European Cup games (2 goals, in a 4-0 away win at Union Luxemburg ) to Rot-Weiß Oberhausen in the Regionalliga West.

Rot-Weiß Oberhausen (1966–1971)

On August 21, 1966 , Krauthausen played his opening game in a 2-0 home win over Westfalia Herne and distinguished himself as a goalscorer for the first time on the third match day. In the third year of the second division he was regional league champion in the west with his club (ahead of Rot-Weiss Essen and VfL Bochum ), qualified for the promotion round to the Bundesliga and narrowly prevailed against Freiburg FC and SV Alsenborn .

He played for the clovers for five years, the last two - due to the rise in 1969 - in the Bundesliga , in which he scored 12 goals in 57 games and was used three times (3 goals) in the DFB Cup competition. His playful class, individual dribbling quality, shooting power and talent for combination did not go unnoticed by the Bundesliga rivals, so that he was signed by FC Bayern Munich for the 1971/72 season .

FC Bayern Munich (1971–1973)

At FC Bayern Munich , Krauthausen had a tailor-made start: On August 14, 1971 (1st matchday), he scored the 1-1 draw at halftime against Fortuna Düsseldorf in front of a home crowd , against which Bayern won 3-1 goals in the end . With 29 games and five goals - as well as participating in the de facto championship final - which Bayern won 5-1 against Schalke 04 on June 28, 1972, playing for the first time in the Olympic Stadium - alongside Franz Roth , Rainer Zobel and Uli Hoeneß , he contributed to winning the championship - the third of the Munich team.

In the DFB Cup quarter -finals in 1971 , FC Bayern ended against 1. FC Köln. The competition was played back and forth and therefore the Rhinelander were able to prevail despite their 3-0 defeat in Munich with a sensational 5-1 home win on April 12, 1972. The game was dubbed “The Battle of Cologne” by the press, depending on the side effects. Bayern striker Wolfgang Sühnholz suffered a broken leg; Substitute goalkeeper Manfred Seifert had to be replaced with chest injuries; Franz Krauthausen's teeth were knocked out on the way to the cabin.

In 1972/73 , Krauthausen contributed 29 games and four goals to defending the title with the then record margin of eleven points on runner-up Cologne - while his former club, Rot-Weiß Oberhausen, could not prevent relegation.

With Bayern in the European Cup Winners' Cup (6 games; 1 goal) and the following season in the European Cup (4 games), the midfielder experienced the atmosphere of European club games against Škoda Plzeň , Liverpool FC , Steaua Bucharest and in the semifinals First leg against eventual winners Glasgow Rangers and Galatasaray Istanbul , at Omonia Nicosia and in the quarter-finals against defending champions Ajax Amsterdam after a 4-0 defeat.

FC Schalke 04 (1973–1975) and career end

From 1973 to 1975 Krauthausen was under contract with FC Schalke 04 , for which he only made six appearances in two seasons - his last on May 14, 1975 (34th matchday) in a 3-0 home win over Tennis Borussia Berlin - and as Permanently injured in 1975 with only 29 years of age ended his active professional career. This was followed by positions of only short duration at the amateur club Sterkrade 06/07 , as well as with various franchises in the United States and FC Volendam in the Netherlands. His last station was again in the 1980s at SC Jülich 1910 in the regional district North Rhine, where he could no longer gain a foothold. In Jülich and Oberhausen, Franz, whose second nickname was "Bottes", enjoys cult status among fans.

successes

  • German champion 1972 , 1973 with FC Bayern Munich

Remarkable

  • Peter Maaßen , 1969 President of Rot-Weiß Oberhausen, said before the end of the promotion round that “a drunk Krauthausen is still better than many others sober”. The reason was that Krauthausen had made an extended move through the restaurants with other players in the belief that they had not been promoted.
  • Krauthausen was always just called "Schwatter Franz". The reason was his black hair color and the tendency of his skin to turn a dark brown tint very quickly.
  • In the regional league season 1968/69 he scored an actually irregular goal in the game against Rot-Weiss Essen . Krauthausen had collided with the Essen goalkeeper Fred-Werner Bockholt and should actually be carried off the pitch when the score was 0: 1. The Essenes awarded the penalty, whereupon Krauthausen ran back onto the pitch unnoticed by the referee and one minute later scored the equalizer in the game.

Private

Krauthausen lives as a pensioner in Schliengen near Lörrach.
