Gerd Welz (born June 2, 1944 in Flensburg ) is a former German handball player and coach .
Career
Welz started his career at TSV Glücksburg 09 . With the Flensburg TB he became national field handball champion in 1967 . In the same year he began to study sport and biology at the Christian Albrechts University in Kiel . He came to the THW Kiel via the university team , for which he played in the handball Bundesliga from 1968 . In the 1975/76 season Welz became player- coach of the zebras after the resignation of coach Werner Kirst . After he qualified for the single-track Bundesliga, he handed over the coaching post to Željko Seleš in 1977 , and ended his playing career in 1978.
When Werner Kirst, who in 1978 was again a trainer at THW after Seleš's dismissal, resigned again at the end of 1978, Welz was again player-coach. His last game for Kiel was the final of the DHB Cup in 1979 , which the THW lost 14:19 against TSV Grün-Weiß Dankersen . In 1980 he finally ended his engagement as the national league coach of the THW. Welz turned down the offer to work as a manager at THW because he would have had to give up his job as a teacher at the Ernst Barlach Grammar School in Kiel .
Later he trained the youth at THW Kiel and in 1984 trained Jordanian handball players for the German Society for Technical Cooperation at the University of Jordan .
With the German national team , for which Welz scored 23 goals in 36 international matches , he took part in the handball world championships in 1970 and 1974 . The team reached places 5 and 9.
In 2011 Gerd Welz published a book with the title: German Dynamite. Evolution and revolution in handball. A new way of playing in handball.
