Athletic career

When the newly created second-class DS league began playing in the GDR in 1950/51, BSG Freiheit Wismut Lauter was one of the founding teams . The attack was played by the 25-year-old Friedhold Schüller, who at the end of the season was the most successful goalscorer of his team with 16 goals. At the same time, the league competitor and local rival Wismut Aue rose to the GDR major league and then strengthened, among others, with the accurate striker Schüller. Coach Walter Fritzsch used Schüller as a left winger from the third championship game on, who then missed only three point games in his first league season and with 13 championship goals proved his striker qualities also in the first class. As seventh in the table, Wismut Aue made it safe to stay in the league. Even under the new coach Karl Dittes , Schüller was again set as left winger and played 18 point games without interruption from the start of the season. In the 18th championship game on February 1, 1953, when he had already scored ten goals again, he was replaced injured and then had to take a 20-month break. It was not until the third championship game of the 1954/55 season on October 7, 1954 that Schüller played a league game again. Until the end of the first half of the season he was used in seven other league point games as a left winger, after which Schüller ended his career in the GDR league at the age of 29. There he was used in 56 league games and scored 24 championship goals.
