Soccer career

Magdeburg

Günter Weimann was brought in during the summer break of the 1958 football season from SG Dynamo Eisleben, who played in the second-class GDR league , to join league competitor SC Aufbau Magdeburg. Responsible for this was the Magdeburg trainer Fritz Wittenbecher , who took over the construction of the SC after the eighth game day of the season and used the summer break to rejuvenate his team. Weimann was immediately used in the second half of the season and quickly developed as a striker into one of the team's top performers. Just one year later, SC Aufbau rose to the GDR Oberliga, so that Weimann made his first league appearances from 1960. In the first two seasons he was the undisputed regular player with 56 out of 65 possible point games. He was also used in three B-internationals in 1960 and three times in internationals of the GDR youth national team in 1961. In the summer of 1962, Weimann failed to try to escape to the Federal Republic, was briefly imprisoned and blocked by the SC Aufbau for six months. From January 1963 he was used again in 12 of the remaining 13 point games. At the beginning of the 1963/64 season he was used in all four league games until September 1 and completed his fourth junior international game on September 4.

Weimann then disappeared again from the upper league squad of the SC structure and was only used again on November 15, 1964 in the upper league. In the 1964/65 season he played 13 games. In the next season, Weimann was not used in the league at all, and at the end of the season the team, which had since been spun off from SC Aufbau as 1. FC Magdeburg, was relegated to the GDR league. The encounter between Chemie Leipzig and SC Aufbau (0-0) on March 21, 1965 was Weimann's last game in the GDR-Oberliga. The cause is a second unsuccessful escape attempt, after which Weimann was arrested again. In addition, he was banned from all major league and international games in early 1967 because he and a few other players had entered into unauthorized financial agreements with the second division team Stahl Eisenhüttenstadt . Weimann played a total of 85 league point games for the Magdeburg club and scored 16 goals.

Eisenhüttenstadt

Despite the sanctions, Weimann moved to Eisenhüttenstadt in the summer of 1967. In the 1968/69 season he was involved with 20 point games and eight goals in the ascent of the steel team in the league, but could not be used there because of his suspension and had to continue to play with the 2nd team in the second-rate GDR league. When Eisenhüttenstadt was transferred to the third-class district league for the 1970/71 season due to renewed financial manipulation , Weimann was back in the first team. On September 4, 1977, at the age of 38, he was still involved in the GDR league match between Tractor Groß-Lindow and Stahl Eisenhüttenstadt.

Even after completing his career as an active footballer, Weimann stayed with Stahl Eisenhüttenstadt (renamed Eisenhüttenstädter FC Stahl in 1990) and got involved in the youth field. In addition, he continued to play in the old gentlemen's team, with whom he became district champion as player-coach in 2008. The football district association Oder / Neisse led Weimann as district coach in 2009.
