Career

societies

In his youth, Schnürle played at VfR Pforzheim before continuing his football career in the senior division at 1. FC Pforzheim and played until 1919. In November 1918 he was at the start after the First World War under coach Max Breunig as a 20-year-old. On Good Friday 1919, he was also a member of the historic sporting match against Nordstern Basel , when the Swiss team competed for the first international match in Germany against 1. FC Pforzheim. A little later, the trained goldsmith switched to Germania 1894 Frankfurt via SpVgg Fürth .

Schnürle had successful years at Germania, Frankfurt's oldest football club. As early as 1920/21, the "Schnürle-Elf" rushed from success to success: FSV and Eintracht were each swept off the field with 5: 1 (with more than 16,000 spectators attended the derby against the Eagle Bearers on January 16, 1921!). and the playoff for the regional championship against Eintracht ended in a 4-1 triumph. Only in the qualification for the finals for the "Süddeutsche" did the VfR Mannheim stop the winning streak. When the Germania-Elf was carted in a triumphal procession from the main train station to the FTV clubhouse at the zoo in May 1922 after winning the "Sweden Cup" with ten pairs, the climax was reached.

At the end of the 1922/23 season he rose with his club as sixth of eight clubs in the regional second-rate district league from which he returned to the district league Main for the 1925/26 season and was relegated again in 1927/28 . According to Tauber , he returned to Pforzheim in 1928 and ended his active football career at VfR Pforzheim in 1935.

Excellent ball handling was attributed to the player who became an outstanding game designer at Germania 94.

National team

His only international match for the senior national team he played on June 5, 1921 in Budapest in the 3-0 defeat against the national team of Hungary . The DFB played the international match during the current finals for the German soccer championship , which meant that only goalkeeper Heinrich Stuhlfauth from the superior champions 1. FC Nürnberg made the trip to Budapest. The German attack in Budapest was formed by four debutants - Karl Höger , Fritz Schnürle, Emil Gröner , Anton Kreß - under the leadership of Adolf Jäger .

In the 1921/22 season, Schnürle ran in the national cup in the team of southern Germany on October 9, 1921 in a 6-0 win against West Germany. As a center forward he scored a goal on the side of Karl Höger, Josef Herberger (3 goals), Luitpold Popp (1 goal) and Anton Kreß (1 goal).
