Gerd Kostmann (born July 2, 1941 in Stettin ) was at SC Empor and FC Hansa Rostock football player in the GDR upper league .

Athletic career

The later regular striker learned to play football in the port city of Wolgast, which was then in the north-east of the GDR, at the company sports community Motor of the Wolgaster Peenewerft. In 1963, at the age of 22, he and his brother Günter were promoted to the second-rate GDR league. Before the 1963/64 season, the SC Empor Rostock, forerunner of FC Hansa, used him in three games of the inter- round, after which Kostmann returned to BSG Motor Wolgast and played 23 of the 30 point games in the GDR league. However, the Wolgast could not hold the class and so it came in the summer of 1964 to the final change to the Rostock Oberligaklub. In July he played again four intertoto games, then he was used from the start as a center forward in the top division season 1964/65 . In the 1967/68 and 1968/69 seasons he was the top scorer in the GDR league . Most of the goals he scored with his head; hence the nickname "little gold head". By the end of the 1970/71 season he scored 43 goals in 89 games for the Hanseatic League.

After his last league season, the trained mechanical engineer continued his football career in the second-class league , including at BSG Schiffahrt und Hafen Rostock and again at BSG Motor Wolgast, and then worked for years in the Rostock seaport . He later trained several youth teams and later joined FC Hansa as coordinator for the amateur and youth sector. He ended this activity on August 1, 2005 and retired.
