Friedrich Heinrich "Friedel" Lutz (born January 21, 1939 in Bad Vilbel ) is a former German football player . The 211-time (4 goals) Bundesliga player was runner-up with the German national team in 1966 and German champion with Eintracht Frankfurt in 1959 . In 1960 he moved with the German champions into the final of the European Champions Cup against Real Madrid (3: 7).

Career

society

The defender, who was mainly used in the World Cup system then practiced as a right defender or as a middle runner, began his career as a student at SG Nieder-Erlenbach, before continuing to play in youth at FV Bad Vilbel from 1950 . As an A-youth he moved to Eintracht Frankfurt in 1955 . He was used in a total of 324 league games for Frankfurt (including 200 games in the Bundesliga and 124 appearances in the major league ). In 1959 he and his club became German champions after the SGE defeated rivals Kickers Offenbach 5: 3 a.s. and Lutz's participation as a player in the final of the finals for the German championship . In athletics, at TV Bad Vilbel, he had acquired his speed and jumping power as a teenager; he made his debut on September 29, 1957, in a 4-2 home win against the Stuttgarter Kickers under coach Adolf Patek , as a right defender in the Oberliga Süd. Eintracht had strengthened itself in the 1957/58 season with stopper Ivica Horvat and striker Istvan Sztani and finished in 3rd place at the end of the round. The young player primarily strengthened the youth team, but was often used in friendly games in the league team, for example on February 15, 1958 in a 1-0 defeat by Arsenal London, against RFC Liège (2-0), FC Grenchen (1: 2), FC Basel (3: 0), Wiener SC (5: 1) and at the end of the round, June 21, 1958, against Borussia Dortmund (1: 0).

In his first full league round , 1958/59 , he belonged to the player base of coach Paul Oßwald , who first won the southern championship with only 25 goals against and then in the final round of the German football championship with 12-0 points and 26:11 Goals against 1. FC Köln, FK Pirmasens and SV Werder Bremen in the final. Lutz had played all six finals, initially as a right defender, after Horvat's serious injury, as a center runner. In the legendary final against local rivals Kickers Offenbach, he formed the defensive in front of goalkeeper Egon Loy with Hans-Walter Eigenbrodt , Hermann Höfer , Dieter Stinka and Hans Weilbächer . Undoubtedly, in the following round, in 1959/60, Lutz's sporting climax followed with Eintracht: In the Oberliga Süd, the reigning German champion was only third in the table, but scored the most goals in the south with 81 goals, and that without the one Ekkehard Feigenspan and Sztani, who had joined Standard Liège, had emigrated to the Munich “lions” . Lutz represented Stopper Horvat and was only missing in two of the 30 league games and scored three goals. In the European Cup, however, the Riederwald team shone tremendously. While the successes against Young Boys Bern (4: 1, 1: 1) and the Wiener Sportclub (2: 1, 1: 1) were still within the bounds of expectation, the two brilliantly played successes in the semi-finals against the Scots from Glasgow were Rangers with 6: 1 and 6: 3 falling out of the ordinary. The German contract footballers of the late league era, with their evening training, were usually inferior to the professional footballers from the island during this time. In the "Kicker" it was said in the preview: "The Rangers play a sober, purposeful football. Needless to say, these professionals on the ball are perfect technicians, hit their passes with millimeter precision over 40 or 50 meters and fight duels with all the physical toughness of British footballers, without particularly violating the boundaries drawn by the rules. "Lutz formed with Hermann Höfer the defender pair in both games.

On May 18, 1960, a Wednesday evening at 7.30 p.m., the final against defending champion and clear favorite Real Madrid in Hampden Park in Glasgow in front of 127,621 spectators turned out to be an excitingly beautiful offensive football festival. The men around Alfredo di Stefano and Ferenc Puskás prevailed 7: 3 and Matthias Weinrich states in his European Cup documentation: “Was the 1960s final the best national championship final of all time? In any case, it was the most goal-rich and led by both sides regardless of tactical constraints. Rarely has a 'loser' been showered with such hymns of praise as Eintracht. '7: 3 is not telling the truth', summarizes the kicker , who further stated: 'But the Frankfurters also played brilliantly in the spotlight of world football when they defeated Germany. "The French newspaper Les Sports underlined this thesis:" Despite the weighty figures disappointed Eintracht not, and their players have the great merit of always playing openly, never having limited themselves to just keeping the gap within limits. ”In the final, Friedel Lutz fought Francisco Gento, one of the outstanding left wingers of this era, and pulled himself with them his 21 years very well off the affair. As an active member of Eintracht, he worked every day from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. before training in the Riederwald; At that time in Frankfurt and in German football in general, people were still a long way from being a profit.

In the last three years of the old first-class league, 1961 to 1963, it was enough for Lutz and his colleagues to twice runner-up in the south (1961, 1962) and in 1963 the league era ended in 4th place. Personally, he had also played his way into the selection team of the DFB. On October 3, 1959, he was appointed to the B national team for an international match against Switzerland in Konstanz . In a 0-1 defeat, he formed the defensive of the German B-Elf together with Fritz Ewert (goalkeeper), Willi Giesemann , Willi Schulz , Ferdinand Wenauer and club colleague Dieter Stinka. Before the beginning of the first half of the season in 1960/61, the next step followed, he made his debut on August 3, 1960 in a 5-0 win in Reykjavik against Iceland in the senior national team of national coach Sepp Herberger . On March 3, 1962, the defender of Eintracht Frankfurt and the national team suffered a skull fracture in the second minute of a representative match between southern Germany in Dortmund and western Germany, and he was out for months; so he could not take part in the soccer world championship 1962 in May / June in Chile. After 124 league games with four goals, the chapter of the first-class Oberliga Süd ended on matchday 30, April 28, 1963, with a 1: 2 home defeat against the table penultimate Swabian Augsburg. On the defensive, Eintracht started with goalkeeper Loy, the defender couple Lutz and Höfer, as well as with the runner row made up of Alfred Horn , Ludwig Landerer and Richard Weber . Eintracht Frankfurt was nominated with four other southern teams for the new Bundesliga for the next season 1963/64 and Lutz continued to belong to the Eagle Bearers .

At the start of the new single-track concentration of performance, Lutz fell out first due to injury and only made his debut on the fifth match day, September 21, 1963, with a 3-0 home win against Eintracht Braunschweig in the Bundesliga. He played on the stopper position and Eintracht won their first game in the Bundesliga and then showed 3-7 points. Due to the best balance in the second half of the season with 23: 7 points, Eintracht played their way up to 3rd place, tied with runner-up Meidericher SV, both with 39:21 points. 1. FC Köln became champions thanks to a superior first half of the season with 24: 6 points. In the cup , Frankfurt moved into the final on June 13, 1964 in Stuttgart against the old southern rivals TSV München 1860 with a 3-1 success in the semifinals against Hertha BSC. Coach Max Merkel's team surprisingly prevailed 2-0 and Lutz was unable to take part in the immediately following trip to South Africa. In the first Bundesliga year, the fast defensive player had played 21 league games. In the next two rounds, the team under the coaches Horvat and Elek Schwartz (1965/66) with Lutz finished eighth and seventh and in the 1966 world championship year Lutz had played 32 of 34 league games under the coach Schwartz, who had come from Benfica Lisbon. With the two newcomers Peter Kunter (goalkeeper) and offensive player Jürgen Grabowski , long-standing top performers came to Riederwald, but the new coach's new focus on the 4-2-4 system did not succeed immediately, and the jump into the top group did not succeed . Lutz was a member of the national team for the World Cup tournament in England in July 1966, where he was also used in the semi-final against the Soviet Union (2-1).

After the World Cup, he gave in to the advertising of the new Bundesliga champions Munich in 1860 and his coach Max Merkel and played in 1966/67 with the "Lions" of 1860 Munich. But it turned out to be a restless and unsatisfactory year for the defending champions. Merkel had brought the goalkeeper of the 1962 World Cup, Wolfgang Fahrian , to Munich as a competitor for the crowd's favorite Petar Radenković, thus causing unrest in the team and the environment right from the start. After matchday 16, December 10, 1966, a 2-1 home win against SV Werder Bremen, Merkel was dismissed in 1860. For Lutz, too, the round was over after eleven missions. Problems with the Achilles tendon and the hair dryer, as well as the weak sporting performance - elimination in the European Cup on November 30, 1966 after a 1: 3 defeat at Real Madrid with Lutz in defense - were responsible. He then returned to Frankfurt in 1967/68, but was only able to play three rounds in the first year after returning from Munich for Eintracht due to his ongoing Achilles tendon problem. It was not until the 1968/69 round that he was able to properly intervene again under the new coach Erich Ribbeck in the competition for the regular places.

After four appearances at the start of the round in 1972/73, Friedel Lutz's career at Eintracht Frankfurt and in the Bundesliga was over. In the following period, coach Ribbeck relied on newcomer Uwe Kliemann and the young talent Karl-Heinz Körbel on the defensive . After a total of 124 league appearances and 211 Bundesliga appearances from 1957 to 1973, the ex-national player's high-class playing career came to an end in the summer of 1973

He then signed on to the teams TuS Makkabi, SpVgg Neu-Isenburg and FC Rhein-Main, clubs that usually competed for “a good cause”.

National team

During his time at Eintracht Frankfurt, he wore the jersey of the German national team twelve times between 1960 and 1966 and was runner-up in England in 1966 . For this he was awarded the Silver Laurel Leaf on July 30, 1966.

The young man from Eintracht Frankfurt had his first contact with the national team before the international matches against Switzerland on October 3 and 4, 1959: National coach Herberger led the A and B national team's selection games against Switzerland in Karlsruhe at the Schöneck sports school held a course, which the 20-year-old defender from Frankfurt also attended. In addition to Lutz, the other defenders Georg Stollenwerk , Erich Juskowiak , Karl-Heinz Schnellinger , Jürgen Kurbjuhn and Werner Olk were invited. One day before the A-Elf, the German B-Elf played against Switzerland on October 3rd in Konstanz. Before goalkeeper Fritz Ewert, Lutz and Willi Giesemann formed the defender couple. In the 4-0 success of the senior team, the national coach entrusted the tried and tested couple of the 1958 world championship days in Sweden, Stollenwerk and Juskowiak, with the role of defender. On November 18, 1959, Lutz formed as a middle runner with the two players from Karlsruher SC, Heinz Ruppenstein and Horst Szymaniak , the runner row in the selection of southern Germany at the representative game in Saarbrücken against the Southwest Representation. He made his debut on August 3, 1960 in the international match against Iceland (5-0) in the senior national team, defending alongside Karl-Heinz Schnellinger from Cologne. This was followed by the further A-Elf missions two to five and in the first half of the 1961/62 various missions in friendly matches of the national team against league teams followed until March 26, 1961. On March 3, 1962, he ran in Dortmund in an important representative game of West Germany in the southern selection, but suffered a skull fracture in the 2nd minute and was out for months. This also made his possible participation in the 1962 World Cup in Chile obsolete.

At the end of December 1963 / beginning of 1964 he returned to the circle of the national team: He took part with the national team on a trip to Africa to Morocco and Algeria and came on January 1 in Algiers against the hosts for his sixth international match. When national coach Sepp Herberger said goodbye with the international match on June 7, 1964 in Helsinki against Finland, he formed the defense with Theo Redder in the 4-1 win. This was followed by test matches with the national team against Chelsea London and Dukla Prague and the 8th international match on February 23, 1966 in London under Herberger's successor Helmut Schön against England. In a 1-0 defeat, he formed the German defensive in front of goalkeeper Hans Tilkowski with Max Lorenz , Willi Schulz, Wolfgang Weber and Horst Szymaniak. In the final stages of preparation for the World Cup, Lutz played three other international matches against Ireland (4-0), Northern Ireland (2-0) in May and on June 1, 1966 in Ludwigshafen against Romania (1-0). National coach Schön then added Lutz to the World Cup squad for the days in England. There he represented the injured Horst-Dieter Höttges on Jul 25 in Liverpool in the World Cup semi-final against the Soviet Union. In the 2-1 success he formed the German defensive in front of goalkeeper Tilkowski with Willi Schulz, Wolfgang Weber and Karl-Heinz Schnellinger. His international career ended after the World Cup.

Trivia

Lutz is listed in the press as the first player in Bundesliga history to receive a red card . The reason for this was an assault on April 3, 1971, when he kicked his Braunschweig opponent who had previously fouled him in the buttocks. On October 10, 1970, however, Lothar Kobluhn was the first player in the Bundesliga to be sent off with the red card by referee Dieter Heckeroth in Kaiserslautern . Thus, despite reports to the contrary, Lutz was not the first red sinner.
