career

After the end of the Second World War, Günter Woitas came to FC St. Pauli in the Oberliga Nord for the 1948/49 season via the stations Reichsbahn-SG Gleiwitz and SV Ortenburg / Passau. In the first two rounds he did not get beyond the role of the supplementary player at St. Pauli. In two rounds he was used in nine league games in the Oberliga Nord, but made two appearances in the final round of the German soccer championship in 1949 : On June 6th in Hanover in the replay against FC Bayern Munich, where he played in the 8th minute 1-0 lead in the 2-0 success achieved. The fine ball technician with a feel for the combination game experienced the second final round appearance on June 12th with a 1-1 draw against 1. FC Kaiserslautern. Here, too, the half-forward excelled as a goal scorer for St. Pauli. In his third season at Millerntor, 1950/51 , the team around Alfred Boller , Walter Dzur , Robert Gebhardt and Alfred Beck won the third runner-up in the north and moved back to the German finals. Here it was only enough against 1. FC Kaiserslautern, FC Schalke 04 and SpVgg Fürth to fourth place; Woitas had appeared in five games. After third place in the 1951/52 season and after a total of 43 appearances in the Oberliga Nord with seven goals, Woitas ended his time at St. Pauli and signed a new contract with local rivals Concordia Hamburg for the 1952/53 season. From 1949 to 1952, the ball-loving and injury-prone actor in his second passion, the game of chess, was four times club champion at St. Pauli.

In the summer of 1952 he moved to Concordia Hamburg, where he stayed after relegation in 1953 and promotion again in 1956, until he ended his career in 1961 after 143 league appearances with eleven goals for "Cordi" as a player and then until 1964 as a coach in the Oberliga Nord or Football Regionalliga Nord worked.
