Günter Haarmann (born May 29, 1938 in Leverkusen ) is a former German football player . With 511 appearances (including friendlies) for Bayer 04 Leverkusen , he is one of the Werkself's record players. He was a member of both the Oberliga promotion team from 1962 and the Regionalliga West championship squad from 1968.
Career
Haarmann grew up in Leverkusen not far from the old stadium at the city park. In 1950 he started playing in the Bayer 04 youth team. With the C-youth he became district champion, with the B-youth middle Rhine champion, with the A-youth he just failed in the final of the championship against Schalke 04. Haarmann was meanwhile also professionally employed at Bayer AG and worked at the plant as a chemical laboratory assistant .
In 1956, Haarmann made his debut for the first team that had been relegated a year earlier from the Oberliga (then the highest German division). In the 1956/57 season he came to his first three league appearances in the 2nd League West under coach Emil Melcher ; Bayer took 4th place. Then the stakes continued tough; In the championship and promotion year 1961/62 he came to 13 missions at the side of players such as Heinz Höher , Uwe Klimaschefski , Manfred Manglitz and Hans-Otto Peters . While he was still a striker in his youth, he was retrained as a left defender in the first team. In 1962, the Werkself under coach Erich Garske succeeded in returning to the league (at that time the top German division). Haarmann played 21 games in the football club. However, the club played second class again the following year. The reason for this was the founding of the Bundesliga , for which Bayer 04 were unable to qualify due to a controversial selection process, although they only lost one of the ten games against the Bundesliga founding members.
While players such as the later national goalkeeper Manfred Manglitz or Uwe Klimaschefski managed to move up to the Bundesliga, Haarmann remained loyal to the club until the end of his career. In 1968 he was part of the team that made up the smallest squad in the Regionalliga West with just 15 competitive players and was surprisingly West Champion. In the promotion round to the Bundesliga, however, the Werkself had to admit defeat to the Offenbacher Kickers .
