Career

societies

Schulz belonged to the BFC Hertha 92 from 1898 to 1918; first in the association of Berlin ball game clubs as a striker and then in the association of Brandenburg ball game clubs . In the 1905/06 season he and his team secured the Berlin championship title for the first time, one point ahead of BFC Preussen . He was qualified with the team as a participant in the final round of the German championship . In this he came on April 29, 1906 in the 7-0 quarter-final victory against SC Schlesien Breslau in Dresden for his first final round use. The semi-final game on May 6, 1906 on Viktoria-Platz in Mariendorf, which he also played, was lost 3-2 to the eventual German champions VfB Leipzig . Together with Willi Zargus and Paul Wopp, he formed the Hertha runner row, which ultimately was not enough against the quality of VfB top performers Johannes Schneider , Camillo Ugi , Karl Uhle and Heinrich Riso .

What parts of the game the man on the left side of the field - left winger, left winger, left defender - later had in the war championships in 1915 , 1917 and 1918 cannot be understood from the available literature.

Selection teams

On April 4, 1909, he played his only international match for the senior national team , which scored a 3-3 draw in Budapest against the Hungarian national team under the direction of referee Hugo Meisl . Schulz stormed the left wing and with his club colleague Herbert Hirth another Herthan player came as a right defender, also his only one, making the two the first national players in the club history of the club, which has been running under the name Hertha BSC since August 7, 1923. With Ernst Poetsch , Paul Hunder , Edwin Dutton and Willy Worpitzky , four other players represented Berlin football in Budapest. The DFB had scheduled a double country match day; At the same time, a selection with southern German players took on Switzerland in Karlsruhe and achieved the first victory for the German national soccer team with a 1-0.

The all-rounder on the left also represented Berlin and Brandenburg in the games for the Crown Prince's Cup . In the 1908/09 season he stormed the left wing on the side of the left connector Helmut Röpnack in a 4-1 win on February 21, 1909 in the semifinals in Hamburg against northern Germany. In the final on April 18, 1909 in Berlin against Central Germany (1: 3), he was not in action. The final experience followed a year later: on April 10, 1910, again in Berlin, he and his fellow players from Berlin were in the final against southern Germany. Berlin competed in the runner row with Ernst Poetsch and the two Herthaners Waldemar Köckeritz and Schulz and trusted the attackers Erich Kirsten , Otto Dumke , Willi Worpitzky, Edwin Dutton and Otto Thiel to attack the goal threat . The South German selection was made up of Max Breunig , Karl Burger , Karl Wegele , Fritz Förderer and Eugen Kipp . After a dramatic course of play, southern Germany prevailed 6: 5 against Berlin in extra time.
