Athletic career

When the second-rate GDR soccer league was introduced in the GDR for the 1950/51 season , the SG Volkspolizei Potsdam was one of the 20 teams that fought in two seasons for promotion to the GDR league . The 23-year-old Gerhard Hänsicke was also part of the Potsdam team, which only just missed promotion after a playoff for the relay win (1: 2 against Anker Wismar ). He had played 15 of the 18 played point games and was the top scorer in the GDR league with 18 goals.

Thereupon the SG Volkspolizei Dresden, the top club of the GDR sports association Deutsche Volkspolizei , took over the successful striker as a replacement for the retired Otto Blochmann . Coach Fritz Sack built Hänsicke into the team as a center forward for the 1951/52 season. This played 29 of 36 point games and scored 24 goals, with which he was the most successful shooter in Dresden. Dresden was runner-up in 1952 and also won the GDR soccer cup with Hänsicke as the center forward with a 3-0 win over Unity Pankow . In 1953 the Dresdner, renamed SG Dynamo Dresden during the season, after a 3-2 win in extra time in the playoff over the tied BSG Wismut Aue GDR soccer champions. Center forward Hänsicke was involved in the championship with 21 appearances and five goals. In the 1953/54 season, Hänsicke only really took off after the 18th matchday and only made 15 point games, in which he scored nine goals. In 1954/55 he returned to his old reliability and was used again as a center forward in the first eight point games. In these encounters he came to four goals.

After the eighth game day, the SG Dynamo Dresden team was surprisingly relocated to East Berlin, where they would compete as SC Dynamo Berlin in the future . In the sixth game for SC Dynamo, Hänsicke injured himself so badly that he was out for the rest of the season. It was not until November 1955, when a transitional round with thirteen games was held in the league to bring the football season into line with the calendar year from 1956, that Hänsicke returned to the league team, played the last five transitional games, and with his four goals he once again proved his old scoring risk. However, he remained pursued by bad luck with injuries and was only able to play six times in the major league in the 1956 season. The last game day on October 28th was also Hänsicke's last league game. He was able to look back on a record of 90 league games (71 for Dresden, 19 for Berlin) and a successful goal rate (39 for Dresden, 7 for Berlin).

During the 1956 season, Hänsicke was used several times in the reserve team of SC Dynamo, which he helped to move up to the third-class II. GDR league . At the same time, the first team was relegated to the first GDR league, in which Hänsicke helped this team to rise again in 1957 with twelve point games and nine goals. He then moved to BSG Motor Eberswalde for the 1958 season , which had been promoted to the 2nd GDR league. In Eberswalde , Hänsicke also ended his career as a football player.
