Athletic career

In the 1951/52 season, BSG Motor Jena rose to the GDR league. Her team also included the 26-year-old Gerhard Gödecke, who until then had played in the third- class Thuringia regional class for BSG Chemie Jena . As a rule, Gödecke was involved in the ascent as a right winger with 21 of 22 league games and four goals. In the league season 1952/53 Gödecke only came into play in the fifth league game of the Jenaer, in the eighth game of BSG Motor, the home game against BSG Empor Lauter , Gödecke scored his first league goal in the 4-1 victory with the 3-1 intermediate result. In the 32 games in the league, Gödecke came to a total of 25 inserts, four goals and stormed as usual on the right wing. Motor Jena could only stay in the top league for one season and from the 1953/54 season played again in the second-rate GDR league . Gödecke was initially intended as a right striker, but was only set until halfway through the first half of the season. On the 8th day he was sent off and had to pause three games. In the second half of the season a new coach, Hermann Schüßler, took over the team, Gödecke dropped out of the team and was only used three times by the end of the season.

Then Gödecke left together with his former coach Bernhard Schipphorst Motor Jena, and both joined the GDR league promoted Motor Warnemünde . Gödecke was only used in the middle of the first half of the 1954/55 season, but then consistently played 19 of the 26 league games in his original position and scored four goals again. Motor Warnemünde finished the season in ninth place. Thus, the team missed the qualification for the next GDR league season, because instead of three seasons it was played on a single track. In the future it had to be played in the third-class II. GDR league , for Gerhard Gödecke this meant the end of his career in higher-class football.
