Günter Behne

Günter Behne (born October 19, 1932 in Magdeburg ; † unknown) was a football player in the GDR Oberliga for Lok Stendal , Lok Leipzig and Aufbau Magdeburg . He was a national B and young talent and won the GDR soccer cup in 1957 and 1964 .

Behne grew up in Niederndodeleben , a rural community west of Magdeburg, and began playing soccer at the local sports club at the age of ten. After the end of the Second World War, he played for BSG Traktor Niederndodeleben until 1952. In 1952, Behne moved to the top GDR football class for the league club Lok Stendal, where he usually played 52 league point games and scored 13 goals as a striker until the 1953/54 football season was over.

Since Lok Stendal was relegated from the league in 1954, but Behne was considered a talented footballer, he was delegated to the newly formed football section of the SC DHfK Leipzig , which was assigned the task of developing talented footballers into top athletes. The DHfK played with two teams in the second-rate GDR league , which, however, could not establish themselves as top teams as hoped. Halfway through the 1954/55 season, both teams were dissolved and the players were distributed among different teams in the major league. Behne stayed in Leipzig and now played for the SC Lokomotive. With this team he won the GDR soccer cup in 1957 with a 2-1 victory over SC Empor Rostock. A year later he was again in the cup final, but lost 1: 2 to SC Einheit Dresden. At the end of the 1960 season, Behne left SC Lok Leipzig, for whom he had completed 102 point games in six seasons and scored 22 goals in his regular position as a left winger. During this time he was also used in five games of the B national team and once in the youth team of the GDR.

By now almost 29 years old, Behne went to SC Aufbau Magdeburg at the beginning of the 1961/62 season, which had finished the season as seventh in the league table. He ended his last league season in the summer of 1964 with the second GDR Cup victory of his career. In his last game for SC construction, he was a half-left striker in the final, which the Magdeburg team won 3-2 over SC Leipzig. With his 82 point games in Magdeburg, he increased his total balance to 236 league appearances, his goal account increased by four hits to a total of 39 goals.

In the 1964/65 season Behne coached the Turbine Magdeburg team, which played in the second-rate GDR league . In the season 1968/69 he helped the 2nd team of 1. FC Magdeburg to get promoted to the GDR league. He then became assistant coach to Heinz Krügel in the FCM's league team. He later took over the post of team leader at 1. FC Magdeburg, the successor to SC Aufbau. For a few years he was also vice chairman of the club.
