Gerhard Richter (born February 10, 1916 - † May 7, 1995 ) was a German football player . He played first division football for VfB Leipzig in the Gauliga Sachsen and for ZSG Industrie Leipzig in the DS league . Richter won the Tschammer Cup with VfB in 1936 . Since the 1950s Richter worked as a trainer in the GDR soccer game .

Player career

Richter was a member of VfB Leipzig, for which he was initially employed in the Gauliga Sachsen from 1935 to 1944 , in one of 16, later increased to 23 Gauligas at the time of National Socialism as the unified top division in the German Reich . In 1941 he was stationed in Weißenfels as a member of the Wehrmacht , but was still able to take part in the VfB Leipzig point games, as he was released for it. The last season before the end of World War II he played in season 1 of the Leipzig group , as one of four groups, the now divided Gauliga Sachsen. The best result was second place at the end of the 1938/39 season , one point behind Dresdner SC .

While he was a member of the club, he and the team took part in the competition for the Tschammer Cup, the cup competition for club teams introduced in 1935. In 1936 he contributed in five games to the fact that his team advanced to the final. He made his debut on August 23, 1936 in the replay against Vorwärts-Rasensport Gleiwitz , which had become necessary and won 3-0 , after the encounter in the 2nd round on June 28, 1936 with the 2-2 draw after extra time had not found a winner would have.

He won the round of 16 with his team - as the only home team - 2-0 against Berliner SV 1892 . After he had also successfully contested the encounters with VfB Peine and Wormatia Worms in the quarter and semi-finals with 4: 2 and 5: 1, he moved into the final with VfB Leipzig.

The final, which only took place in Berlin's Olympic Stadium on January 3, 1937 , took place against last year's finalists FC Schalke 04 , with Fritz Szepan and Ernst Kuzorra in their ranks - and ended 2-1 for VfB Leipzig, with his teammates Jakob May and Herbert Gabriel put their team in the lead by scoring 1-0 in the 20th and 2-0 in the 31st minute; the Schalke Ernst Kalwitzki's goal in the 42nd minute was the only one in the remaining 48 minutes.

After VfB Leipzig was dissolved and expropriated by the Soviet occupying forces in 1945, like all civil clubs, former VfB players founded the “SG Probstheida” on their old sports grounds, to which Richter was still a member in the 1946 game year.

It was not until the 1949/50 season that cross-national football appeared again in the so-called zone league, later known as the DS league and the GDR upper league. ZSG Industrie Leipzig , founded on March 21, 1949 , was one of the founding teams of the zone league, and Richter - now 33 years old - also belonged to the team. In 24 out of 26 point games he was used as the right runner as usual, but remained without a goal. At the end of the season his team finished eighth among 14 participating teams; he then ended his football career in the performance area. On August 16, 1950, the association was named BSG Chemie Leipzig .
