Gert Brauer (born September 7, 1955 in Ronneburg ; † January 2018 ) was a football player in the GDR Oberliga , the highest football class in the GDR. He was a four-time senior national player and multiple junior national team.

Athletic career

Brauer came to the company sports association (BSG) Wismut Gera in 1970 after starting football at BSG Wismut Ronneburg in 1963. As a junior player , he was delegated to FC Carl Zeiss Jena in 1971, the region's soccer center. After good performance in the junior league, he became a member of the GDR junior national team in 1973, for which he played his first junior international match on June 27, 1973. In the match between Finland and GDR (3-0) he played on the left side of the defense. By May 1974, Brauer had played a total of twenty times in junior international matches. Then he was seamlessly taken over into the youth national team. In 1978 he was part of the youth team that was runner-up in the U-21 European Championship. In his 23 junior internationals, he was usually used as a right defender.

Brauer made his debut in the GDR league in the 1973/74 season. On March 16, 1974, the 22nd matchday, he was substituted on in the 55th minute of the game FC Carl Zeiss - 1. FC Lok Leipzig (2-2). In winning the GDR soccer cup in 1974 , he was only involved with one use in the quarter-finals. Already in the season 1974/75 the 1.70 m tall brewer established himself as a regular player on the right side of the defense. He kept this position throughout his time at FC Carl Zeiss.

Although Brauer showed consistently solid performances in Jena, apart from one game in the B selection in May 1976, it took six years before he was also eligible for the senior national team . At the age of 24 he was used for the first time in an international match. In the qualifier for the 1980 European Championship Poland - GDR (1: 1) on September 26, 1979 he made his debut in his standard position right back. The next two international matches, also qualifying matches, saw Brauer as a defender. In his third international match between the GDR and the Netherlands, the GDR's non-participation in the EM was sealed after a 3-2 defeat. Brauer got a fourth chance on May 7, 1980 in the preparatory match of the GDR Olympic team against the Soviet Union (2-2), which was rated as an international match . However, he had to leave the field in the 7th minute due to a serious knee injury, and that ended his international career. He had no chance against the veterans Gerd Kische and Konrad Weise .

The injury from the international match meant that Brauer missed the 1980 FC Carl Zeiss cup win and was out for a total of ten months. Until 1983 he had difficulties to assert himself again at FC Carl Zeiss. In the 1981/82 season he played only six, 1982/83 only eight league point games. However, he was lucky enough to be in the crucial phase of the Jena’s best European Cup series. From the quarter-finals of the 1980/81 European Cup Winners' Cup , Brauer played all games up to the final, which Jena finally lost 2-1 to Dynamo Tbilisi. It was not until the 1983/84 season that he regained a foothold and remained a regular again until 1986. During the 1986/87 season, Brauer ended his career as a top division player in Jena. He played there on the 8th match day, October 18, 1986, in the encounter between FC Carl Zeiss and BFC Dynamo (0: 4), his last game. It was his 253rd league game, by then he had scored nine goals. In the GDR Cup, he played 43 times for Jena (4 goals), plus 33 goalless European Cup games.

At the age of almost 32, Brauer switched to the new league club Hallescher FC Chemie for the 1987/88 season . There he was used throughout the 13 games of the first half of the season as a left defender. After a break of seven game days, he completed his last four league games shortly before the end of the season and thus had a total of 270 first division games.

Further career

After the end of his football career, the trained toolmaker took up a job in the catering trade . At the age of 62, the former GDR national player died shortly after the turn of the year 2017/18.
