Günter Konzack
Günter Konzack (born September 24, 1930 in Bergheide in Niederlausitz ; † February 16, 2008 ) was a soccer player in the GDR. In the league , the highest GDR soccer class, he played for Turbine Erfurt and SC Lokomotive Leipzig . After his active career, he became a football coach.
Immediately after the end of the war, Konzack began playing football at the age of 15 for the Annahütte sports club. After graduating from school, he took up an apprenticeship as an industrial clerk. When he was just under 20, he began studying sports at the Leipzig Sports University DHfK and was one of the first to graduate in 1953. During his studies, Konzack played soccer at BSG Chemie Leipzig . From 1951 he was part of the league squad and played 25 point games in the top football class until 1953.
At the beginning of the 1953/54 season, Konzack moved to Turbine Erfurt, where he became a GDR champion in his first year. With 23 game appearances, he played a decisive role as a striker in the Erfurt team's success. A year later Erfurt was able to repeat the title win, but this time Konzack was only used in six point games.
In 1955 he returned to Leipzig and joined the successor to his former team, the SC Lokomotive Leipzig. Here he completed another 132 games in the league by 1960. On December 22, 1957 he was with the Leipzig GDR Cup winner after a 2-1 victory over SC Empor Rostock . A year later he also played in the last eight minutes of extra time in the cup final, but lost with his team to SC Einheit Dresden with 1: 2.
At the end of the 1960 season, Konzack ended his league career and went as a player-coach to the third-rate BSG Chemie Riesa . When the team was relegated to the Dresden District League in 1963 after the dissolution of the 2nd GDR League , he returned to Leipzig and took over the training of the reserve team of the newly founded SC Leipzig . For one season in 1965/66 he was the coach of the league team in Leipzig. Since he could not bring the team to the top position he had hoped for, he had to switch to the second-class BSG Motor Steinach in the summer of 1966 . After a 6th and a 4th place in the GDR league , Konzack took over the relegated league Lok Stendal for the 1968/69 season . In his first season in Stendal, his team narrowly missed promotion with second place and after the end of the first half series in 1969/70 was still well in the race with 20: 6 points. Nevertheless, after only one and a half years, Konzack was dismissed by Lok Stendal and had to take on the role of a scientific advisor at the BSG Lok. In the summer of 1970 he went to the first division club 1. FC Magdeburg , where he was assistant coach under Heinz Krügel for six years . In 1978 he took over again for a season as a coach at the GDR league club BSG Stahl Hennigsdorf .
