Günter Wunderlich

Günter Wunderlich (born November 6, 1925 ) was a football player in Chemnitz or Karl-Marx-Stadt and played for BSG Chemie Karl-Marx-Stadt in the GDR Oberliga , the top division of the GDR Football Association .

Athletic career

After the end of the Second World War, Wunderlich was one of the athletes who were involved in the rebuilding of Chemnitz football. He was a player in the Sportgemeinschaft Chemnitz Nord, which played for Chemnitz from 1946 and later for the Saxon football championship.

In 1948 it was taken over by the newly founded company sports community (BSG) Fewa Chemnitz , which in 1950 was one of the founding communities of the newly established second-rate GDR league . In their first season, Wunderlich was a left-back regular at Chemnitz BSG, which renamed itself Chemnitz Chemnitz during the season. With 16 appearances, Wunderlich only missed two season point games. His second GDR league season was not very successful with only eleven completed games. While he only played twice in the first half of the season, at least in the second half of the season he played nine of eleven games, in these games as a right midfielder. The midfield was also Wunderlich's position in 1952/53, this time in 17 of 24 point games. In his fourth season in the second division, Wunderlich played almost continuously in 22 of 26 championship games in the left midfield and this time also scored his only two point goals in the GDR league for the BSG, which was now called Chemie Karl-Marx-Stadt after the city was renamed Chemie. The Karl-Marx-Städter finished the season as a climber in the GDR league. Wunderlich only played the first six league games of the 1954/55 season, after which he was no longer called up in the first team. Since the introduction of the GDR League, he had played 72 point games within five seasons and scored two goals.

Later, as a coach, he once again attracted attention in the Karl-Marx-Städter region when, in 1962, as a coach, he led the BSG unit Gersdorf in the then fourth-class district league Karl-Marx-Stadt .
