Player career

societies

Georg Friedrich Köhler, born on February 1, 1900 in the Royal Women's Clinic in Dresden, as the son of the unmarried laundress Ernestine Bertha Köhler, made his first experiences at the ball at the VTB Dresden before he switched to Dresdner SC .

After he was promoted to the senior sector in 1917, his success began at the Ostragehege , as the Dresden stadium was still called at the time. In the 1925/26 season he reached the finals of the German championship as a middle runner with his team for the first time in 20 years . In eleven final rounds he went to the Dresdner SC, which, however, could not achieve any success. He was only able to win five Central German Championships and three Central German Cup victories with his team. In 1935 he moved to local rivals VfB Dresden , where he ended his playing career in 1941.

National team

On October 25, 1925, he made his debut in the senior national team , which defeated the Swiss national team 4-0 in Basel . He convinced with good performances, but was used in only four other internationals until the end of his national team career . Reich trainer Otto Nerz was his very offensive style of play too risky, as he did not respond to the requests to play more defensively.

Coaching career

In addition to his role as a player for VfB Dresden, he was also a coach at his long-term club, Dresdner SC, from 1935 onwards . As coach and managing director in personal union , he led the club to two victories in the Tschammerpokal competition in 1940 and 1941 , the forerunner of today's DFB Cup competition, and to two German championships in 1943 and 1944 . In addition, his team was once German runner-up (1940) and from 1939 to 1944 six times Saxony champion . After the destruction of Dresden in World War II , he was briefly the coach of the workers' club Stahl Zschachwitz , but was no longer enthusiastic about football. After his successful coaching career, he died in February 1972 in his hometown of Dresden.
