Player career

Gerhard Bergner belonged as external rotor Team of the 1. FC Nuremberg , which the German championship in 1948 , the first football championship after the Second World War won.

The strengths of the only 1.56 m tall Bergner included not only the game overview, but also endurance and strength in duels, as a drawback his poor long passes were lamented.

Bergner grew up in the immediate vicinity of the old stadium in the Zerzabelshof district of Nuremberg, but went to 1. FC Nürnberg against the will of his father, who was a supporter of SpVgg Fürth . During the Second World War, Bergner became an air force helper in 1944 . After returning from his six-month captivity, Bergner made his debut in the first team under club coach Bumbes Schmidt , although he was still completely malnourished. After ten minutes Bergner wanted to leave the field again, but Schmidt encouraged him to persevere. In 1947 he ran for the first time against BC Augsburg in the Oberligaelf and quickly belonged to the regular players who brought the first post-war championship to Nuremberg in 1948.

National coach Sepp Herberger also praised Bergner as a "first-class outside runner", but he never called him to the senior national team. The international career of the student Bergner was limited to missions with the German national student team and a B international match , which he completed on September 22, 1951 in Augsburg against Austria.

After a total of 416 games for the 1st team of 1. FC Nürnberg, including 234 league games as well as 13 games in the final round of the German championship, he moved to Mainz in 1956 for professional reasons. There he joined the 1. FSV Mainz 05 , for which he ran 108 times in the Oberliga Südwest before ending his active career in 1960 after at least 117 games for the Mainz team.
