Gert Girschkowski (born November 23, 1944 ) is a former German soccer goalkeeper . The goalkeeper played 25 league games at Hamburger SV from 1968 to 1971 in the Bundesliga .

Career

In 1968 Gert Girschkowski moved from VfL Oldesloe from the amateur league Schleswig-Holstein to the Bundesliga for Hamburger SV. In Hamburg he was number two in goal behind Özcan Arkoç . The 1.91 meter tall Girschkowski made his debut on November 30, 1968 in a 2-2 away draw against Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga. In one of "the best games of the whole season", Holger Dieckmann , Egon Horst , Willi Schulz and Jürgen Kurbjuhn formed the defensive department in front of the debutant in goal. Previously, he had played in the Intertoto round against Malmö FF and Slovan Bratislava, as well as in the trade fair cup against Slavia Prague (4-1) on November 20 . Under coach Kurt Koch and the technical director Georg Knöpfle , the HSV finished 6th at the end of the round; Girschkowski had played in four Bundesliga games.

When Georg Knöpfle took over the helm again in his second HSV season in 1969/70, the man from Oldesloe and Özcan had an even fight for number 1 in the HSV goal. Özcan came on 18, Girschkowski on 17 Bundesliga appearances and the Rautträger finished sixth at the end of the round. With the new signings they had shown a good nose with Klaus Zaczyk , Norbert Hof , Peter Nogly and Siegfried Beyer . Girschkowski made his first round in the Bundesliga on November 1, 1969 in a 2-0 home win against Hannover 96. With his 17th game on May 3, 1970, the season ended with a 5-1 win against Eintracht Frankfurt. He was supported on the defensive primarily by Helmut Sandmann , the newcomers Nogly and Hof and Jürgen Kurbjuhn and Knöpfle was thus released into the coach's retirement.

As the successor to the coach senior, the young Klaus-Dieter Ochs took over the position of the Rothosen in the 1970/71 season and he clearly decided on Özcan as number 1; As in his first season, Girschkowski only made four rounds. On May 1, 1971, he played his last Bundesliga game in a 2-1 home win against Eintracht Braunschweig. Through the mediation of his teammate Uwe Seeler , Girschkowski then received a traineeship at Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR) and switched to the regional league team Phönix Lübeck . During the current 1971/72 season he ended his sporting career in order to concentrate on his journalistic activities. Later Girschkowski was employed by NDR as a television editor.

He opened the 1971/72 season with his new team-mates from Phoenix Lübeck in the second -rate regional soccer division North on August 15, 1971 with a 2-2 home draw against FC St. Pauli. Under coach Emil Izsó and with playmates like Jochen Aido and Wolfgang Kampf , the goalkeeper played 27 games this season and then ended his football career.
