Günter Preuss (born November 10, 1936 in Duisburg - Meiderich ) is a former German football player and coach who was in the service of MSV Duisburg (until 1967 Meidericher SV ) for many years . When he was playing, he was its captain for five years and as such was German runner-up in 1964. He also worked as a coach for this club and also for various amateur clubs in the region around Duisburg.

As a child, Preuss joined Meidericher SV and moved up to the first team in 1956. In 1961 he became team captain and in 1963 he was promoted to the newly founded Bundesliga . In their first season 1963/64 his team, which included nine players from the Meiderich district, finished second in the table. From 1967 Preuss did not come to further missions, as he concentrated on his work as an assistant coach despite further membership in the players' squad. In 1969 he left the club and then worked as a coach for various amateur clubs before returning to MSV Duisburg in 1981, where he held various positions until 1986.

In the youth of the MSV (1948–1956)

Günter Preuß grew up in the Duisburg district of Meiderich and experienced the Second World War in his early childhood , after the end of which in 1945 his hometown was badly damaged and characterized by poverty. In this situation, football developed into his main leisure activity, which he pursued particularly on Gerhardplatz in the immediate vicinity of his place of residence. He did not belong to a club before his neighbor Paul Rosin offered him admission to the C-youth of Meidericher SV in 1948 and he then entered there. Rosin was the youth chairman of this club and had previously observed the then twelve-year-old playing on the street. One of his teammates was Ludwig Nolden , who later played with him in the first team for many years. The junior team was trained by Wilhelm Hesselmann, who looked after Preuss and his teammates not only for a certain age group, but also until the end of the youth area.

Within his team, Preuss became a top performer and led them as captain in the A-youth , i.e. at around 18 years of age. Since Preuss proved to be talented, he was also regularly included in the Duisburg city selection at that time and took part with them in April 1955 on a trip to Portsmouth , England . There he presented himself strongly and was even given the prospect of a professional career on site, but refused to move to England. A little later he was accepted into the Niederrhein selection, while at MSV he played regularly for the reserve team from the 1955/56 season. This always occurred immediately before the games of the first team for their encounters and was considered their extended circle.

Senior league years in Meiderich (1956–1963)

Development to a high performer (1956–1961)

The first team of Meidericher SV was after four years of membership in the Oberliga West , which represented the highest division in the regionally limited league system, relegated to the 2nd League West for the first time in 1955 . Preuss came to his first consideration in the second division when the right-back Hans Sehlhoff failed in March 1956 in the run-up to an encounter against STV Horst-Emscher and the then 19-year-old replaced him. He saved on the goal line early in the game and thus made an important contribution to the ultimately sovereign 6-1 victory of his team. Immediately afterwards he signed his first contract with MSV, which amounted to 80 DM monthly basic salary plus 100 DM victory bonus. Although he was not called up again in the further course of the season, but his teammates achieved direct promotion back to the league.

In the 1956/57 season he came to his first missions at the league level, although he only played occasionally under coach Hermann Lindemann and was on the field a total of eight times. His team was able to establish itself again in the top division immediately after promotion. In 1957, Helmut Kronsbein, a coach, was hired who immediately made Preuss a regular player. Despite the now important role within the team, he was, as was customary at the time, a contract player and at the same time had a main job as a moulder at Eisenwerke Mülheim-Meiderich . Because this work, in addition to football, represented a strong physical strain, Kronsbein campaigned for Preuss to get a new job as tabulator at Phoenix-Rheinrohr . In the club he was able to maintain his regular place in the following time and also had a good relationship with the coach, but was in the meantime transferred back to the reserve team if he was weak. Even under Elmar Rösch , who trained Meiderich from 1959, he remained an integral part of the defense line and played in particular alongside Friedel Rausch . In the 1959/60 season, the defense presented itself as extremely solid, but the weakness in the storm did not allow the Meidericher to get beyond a midfield placement.

As captain for promotion to the Bundesliga (1961–1963)

In 1961, Preuss was given the position of team captain by the new coach Willi Multhaup , which had previously been held by Kurt Neumann for many years . Thus, he led a team that in 1962/63 had good chances of qualifying for the subsequent re-establishment of the Bundesliga. On the 2nd match day, however, the captain sustained an inner ligament strain and therefore had to pause first. Meiderich played a good season, but the twelve-year ranking that was decisive for qualification was not binding, so there was no clear placement requirement for reaching the Bundesliga. In the decisive final phase, coach Multhaup announced his imminent move to Werder Bremen , which is why he was de facto incapable of action in a catch-up game against Viktoria Köln on May 1, 1963 and Preuss therefore had to perform his duties. After falling behind twice, he led the team to a 3-2 win, to which in particular the defensive player Dieter Danzberg, who he sent into the storm, contributed with an important goal. Five days later, the Meidericher SV received a telegram from the DFB that his application for membership in the new top league had been granted. With a 2-1 win against Preußen Münster in the last league game, the team finally finished third. By then, Preuss had played 150 league games and a second division match without a goal of his own.

Bundesliga player for MSV (1963–1969)

Vice championship in the first year (1963–1964)

After the promotion came Rudi Gutendorf, a largely unknown coach from TSV Marl-Hüls , while the squad was reinforced by former world champion Helmut Rahn , goalkeeper Manfred Manglitz and Heinz Höher . At its core, the team continued to consist of native Meiderichert and was initially considered a clear candidate for relegation. On August 24, 1963, the MSV started with the participation of Preuss with an away game against Karlsruher SC in the Bundesliga and won 4-1. Gutendorf did not rely on the usual World Cup system at the time , but developed a tactical model based on the Swiss bar (4-2-4 system). The defense consisted of four players with Preuss as the stopper and either Dieter Danzberg or Manfred Müller as the Libero standing behind him . Hartmut Heidemann and Johann Sabath were supposed to switch to the offensive game as fast full-backs, for which they were protected by postponing the other defensive players. As a leading player authorized to give instructions, Preuss played a particularly important role. In an away game in Bremen on matchday 5, this system showed its suitability, as Meiderich achieved a 1: 1 thanks to a stable defense. Bremen's coach Multhaup, who had changed from Meiderich just a few months earlier, then criticized the low attractiveness of this style of play from his point of view. The team retained the system, which is often briefly referred to as the “bolt”, was able to establish itself on top and, among other things , draw attention to itself with a 4-0 win against Hamburger SV . Despite intermittent setbacks such as a 2: 5 defeat against Hertha BSC , the team ultimately took second place in the table behind 1. FC Köln , which made them runner-up in the first Bundesliga season. With Preuss, Heidemann , Müller , Danzberg , Nolden , Krämer , Gecks , Heinz Versteeg and Werner Lotz , nine players from their own youth, who also all grew up in the Duisburg district of Meiderich, played a key role in this success. In Preuss' view, something like this "has never happened anywhere in the world". National coach Sepp Herberger praised the MSV as a "win for the Bundesliga".

Changing development under different coaches (1964–1967)

In the summer of 1964, the runners-up went on a trip to the United States and Canada, at the beginning of which Preuss made an appearance as captain together with Helmut Rahn on an American television station. The beginning of the following season 1964/65 went bad for Preuss, however, as he suffered from muscular problems as a result of tough training methods that Gutendorf had introduced shortly before. Other players also had form problems, so that the team could not build on the performance of the previous season. Due to a conflict with the board of directors, Gutendorf's term of office ended in March 1965. Wilhelm Schmidt temporarily took over as coach and Meiderich finished in seventh place. A little later Preuss suffered a groin strain and initially saw his further career threatened, but thanks to treatment by a specialist in August 1965, he was able to return after a two-month break.

The following Bundesliga season 1965/66 ended for Meiderich under the new coach Hermann Eppenhoff in eighth place. In its course, on March 27, 1966, a 9-0 win against Tasmania Berlin was the highest away win in league history. Successes were also achieved in the DFB Cup 1965/66 , in which MSV was able to move into the final after a 6-0 win against FC Schalke 04 and a 4: 3 in the semifinals against 1. FC Kaiserslautern . Due to a broken rib two weeks earlier, Preuss could not take part in this and experienced a 2-4 defeat of his team-mates against FC Bayern Munich . 1966 was also the year in which he handed over the captaincy to the national player Werner Krämer .

The following season, during which the club took its current name MSV Duisburg, was marked by the relegation battle. The former captain Preuss was often not taken into account by coach Eppenhoff, with whom he said he had a difficult relationship. This only changed in the second half of the season, in which the team achieved relegation at the end with a clear lead.

Dual function as player and assistant coach (1967–1969)

In 1967 the Hungarian Gyula Lóránt took over the coaching office and Preuss, who was planning to acquire his coaching diploma, became his assistant, but remained part of the team at the same time. Lóránt had a good relationship, but this only lasted a year before he was replaced by Robert Gebhardt . At Gebhardt Preuss enjoyed significantly less say than before under Lóránt. In the course of the 1968/69 season, the Hungarian offered him to become his assistant again at 1. FC Kaiserslautern, which Preuss, however, declined because of his main job at August-Thyssen-Hütte . His work at MSV was in fact limited to his role as an assistant coach, which he did not play as a player despite being part of the squad. At the same time he went to the Sport University Cologne to acquire his trainer diploma and graduated under the lecturer Hennes Weisweiler in February 1969 with the grade "good". In the second half of the season 1968/69 he represented Gebhardt as head coach for some encounters, as he had to undergo an operation. The team was in a relegation battle, but ultimately managed to stay in the league. For the season 1969/70 Preuss was no longer planned as an assistant coach and also left the team, for which he was no longer accrued from 1967 anyway. After a total of 21 years, this was his departure from MSV, for which he had participated in 77 Bundesliga games between 1963 and 1967 without scoring his own. No other field player was on the pitch for the club so often in the Bundesliga without being able to score a goal himself.

National selection teams

Shortly after becoming a regular at MSV, he received an invitation to join the junior national team , which at the time included young talent under the age of 23. On December 21, 1957, the 21-year-old Preuss stood in a 3-3 draw against Hungary and was counted among the best of the day by journalists. On February 26, 1958, he led a team with Uwe Seeler , among others, against Belgium , as he did against Hungary as captain, but suffered from such physical problems that he had to be replaced at halftime. In retrospect, the cause was an ulcer on the neck. This coincidence ended his career at the DFB.

Through his performances in the season 1963/64, at the end of which he was German runner-up with the MSV, he came back into the focus of national coach Sepp Herberger , who offered him a possible appointment to the senior national team. But it didn't come to that.

Coaching career

Various stations in amateur football (1970–1980)

After Preuss had already worked as an assistant coach at MSV from 1967 to 1969, he started his first job as head coach at Schwelmer FC in 1906 . In 1970 he took over the position of head coach at Eintracht Duisburg from the third-class association league Niederrhein. There he saw a good sporting perspective, before a large part of the players was dismissed shortly before the beginning of the 1970/71 season because of high salary demands. This was achieved by club president Walter Kellermann, who was also Eintracht's most important financier and had extensive decision-making powers. Preuss took office anyway and relied on young talents, including the future national player Rudi Seliger . In his first year, the sixth place in the table was reached. Kellermann, who was instrumental in financing a high-performing team, died unexpectedly in 1971. Two placements in the middle of the table were then taken.

In 1973 he left Eintracht Duisburg and trained from then on for the state division club SV Neukirchen , with whom he remained in the fourth-highest division in the following two years. Subsequently, he took over the team at VfB 03 Kleve in 1975 , but had difficulties reconciling his coaching activity there with his main job. Accordingly, he only stayed for a year and then took over VfB Lohberg . With a team that included the future professional Frank Saborowski , he made it up from the state to the association league in 1978. Due to a reform of the league system in the same year, the association league was only the fourth highest division.

In the summer of 1979 his activity in Lohberg ended and shortly afterwards he became a coach at the Hamborn 07 club . At the end of the 1979/80 season he and his team made it to the league. In the third-highest division, the promoted team was initially able to assert itself, but with the first lost home game Preuss fell victim to hostility and threats, which led him to resign in December 1980. The alleged cause for this is his Meiderich origin; Meidericher SV and Hamborn 07 faced each other as rivals, especially before the introduction of the Bundesliga.

Changing functions at MSV (1981–1985)

After twelve years of absence, the former player of this club returned to MSV Duisburg in 1981. As in the last time before he left, he took over the position of assistant coach, but was also responsible for the A-Juniors. With the youth team he became Lower Rhine Champion in 1982. With the professionals in the 1981/82 season with the move from Friedhelm Wenzlaff to Kuno Klötzer, on the other hand, there was not only a change in the position of head coach, but also the first-time relegation from the Bundesliga despite the participation of the national players Bernard Dietz and Rudi Seliger.

In June 1982 he changed positions within the club and no longer worked as a coach, but as a sports director. The financial resources available to him were relatively small, but the team remained competitive and only failed in 1984 in the relegation games against Eintracht Frankfurt due to a possible promotion. The economic situation remained extremely bad and in the run-up to the 1985/86 season the receipt of the license seemed threatened, which is why Preuss was one of the organizers of a friendly game in favor of the MSV. In this, the runner-up team from 1963/64 met a selection of former national players in front of 16,000 spectators; this brought in 230,000 DM for licensing. Despite the income, the financial situation was so tense that in the summer of 1985 Preuss took over as a coach in addition to his role as sports director in order to save costs. Looking back, he said of this situation: "Afterwards I was responsible for everything, I only had one typist." However, because the start of the second division season was extremely weak, he resigned as coach after eight games. His successor Helmut Witte could not prevent MSV from relegating to the top division in 1986. The 49-year-old Preuss then retired from the position of sports director and was no longer active in football.

Tactical view

The success of the runner-up team of 1964, to which he belonged, was based on a 4-2-4 system known as a "bolt". At the time, this was considered very progressive and was mainly characterized by the fact that the full-backs took part in the offensive game much more often than usual. At the Sport University in Cologne, where he obtained his coaching diploma from Hennes Weisweiler at the end of the 1960s , the 4-2-4 orientation was discussed in detail and at the same time practically applied at the MSV with the help of the then assistant coach Preuss. As the coach of Hamborn 07, he increasingly relied on the rotation principle, which provides for the regular exchange of regular players.

Life and relationship to football

Meiderich as the starting point for the runner-up championship

Street scene in Meiderich

The German runner-up in the first Bundesliga year 1963/64 was reached by a team that included a total of nine Meidericher from their own youth. There were therefore a large number of athletically successful players from a very small catchment area, many of whom had known each other since their early childhood. Günter Preuss grew up in the Lösorter Strasse near Gerhardplatz and had two future teammates, Werner Lotz and Heinz Versteeg , who lived in the immediate vicinity at the time. According to the film Meidericher Vice Champion , Horst Gecks , Werner Krämer and Michael Bella , who only joined the team shortly after the runner-up, lived just a few hundred meters from Gerhardplatz. Ludwig Nolden had already played together with Preuss in the youth of Meidericher SV.

The connections within the team were never limited to football, but also existed in the main profession. While Preuss worked at the Mülheim-Meiderich ironworks , Hartmut Heidemann and Werner Lotz were among his colleagues. In the spring of 1963, several members of the team, including Dieter Danzberg , were among his colleagues at his new employer, Phoenix-Rheinrohr . In addition, at that time he was living on Sommerstrasse in Meiderich in an apartment directly above Lotz's. In the film Meiderich Vice-Champion it is also described that the members of the team often met for evening entertainment and that there were friendly contacts between the players' wives.

Contacts between the players were maintained beyond the active time. In 1985 they played together again with a slightly different line-up for a friendly game. Together with his former teammate Michael Bella, he initiated a monthly meeting of former players of MSV Duisburg in the 1990s, which also includes the players of later generations. On March 8, 2000, Preuss and several other members of the vice-championship eleven visited the then goalkeeper Manfred Manglitz on the occasion of his 60th birthday in his new home Villajoyosa in Spain.

His private and professional life

Preuss was already in a relationship with his future wife Ursel in the 1950s. In 2011, the couple still lived not far from Gerhardplatz in Meiderich.

During his playing career, Preuss always had another job. When he joined the first team, he received 80 DM per month plus 100 DM victory bonus, while he also worked full-time as a moulder at Eisenwerke Mülheim-Meiderich . Because this was very physically demanding and he had to be physically fit for football, he got a new job as tabulator at Phoenix-Rheinrohr around 1957 , so he switched to data processing. Even when his basic monthly football salary rose to DM 800 in the 1964/65 season, he remained in full-time employment. It was not until the beginning of 1967 - he was meanwhile working at the August-Thyssen-Hütte - that he worked in his main job with reduced number of hours. He was the last player to take this step. When he started a career as a trainer in the 1970s, he worked as a programmer at the August Thyssen ironworks. Between 1981 and 1986 he worked for the MSV and gave up the job, but then took on a comparable position with another employer.

A bilateral relationship with the MSV

Over the years, there has often been a difficult relationship with those responsible at the MSV. In his opinion, the poor work of the club management caused the then captain to say during the 1964/65 season that Meiderich would remain a “suburban club”. After he left in 1969, there was a legal dispute with the association because the board did not want to pay him previously agreed bonuses. Preuss was right in court. The club management never thanked him for taking part in the organization of the friendly game, which was decisive for licensing, and he even had to pay for his season ticket at the MSV until 2008.

Despite the difficult relationship with the leaders of various periods, he always remained connected to the association. When the second division club was denied the license for the new season in 2013, Preuss burst into tears in view of the situation during an interview. With the new edition of his autobiography, which appeared a little later, he left the entire proceeds of this to the association.

Public work after retirement

In 2002 Preuss published his autobiography under the title “The Captain of the Zebras”, the special aim of which was to honor the 1964 runner-up team. Due to the insolvency of the publisher, the book was not distributed for a long time before supporters of the MSV achieved a new edition in 2013 using the book-on-demand process .

At the side of some teammates and coach Rudi Gutendorf, Preuß appeared in the documentary film Meidericher Vice-Champion , which was released in 2014 . The former captain, who is considered very memorable, has a detailed say as well as his wife. The film was sold on DVD and was shown in front of 1,070 visitors in the Duisburg-Nord landscape park . "Unfortunately, there has often been a lack of awareness of our performance in the recent past," said Preuss in this context. In November 2014 the Duisburger Stadtsportbund awarded the runner-up team a special prize for “special services to sport in Duisburg”, which Preuss accepted on behalf of.
