Hans-Georg Opitz (born May 11, 1958 ) is a former German soccer goalkeeper . He played for BSG Energie Cottbus in the 1980s and 1990s in the GDR Oberliga , the top division in GDR football .

Career

Opitz rose in 1981 with the BSG activist Brieske-Senftenberg from the third-rate district league Cottbus to the GDR league. There he was the goalkeeper of Senftenberg until 1984. From 1985 to 1986 he did his military service in the National People's Army and played in the 1986/87 season with the BSG activist after their relegation in the preseason again in the district league. With the BSG he immediately returned to the GDR league, in which he was again number one in goal in 1987/88. In the following season he missed only one league game until the 17th matchday. Because of this, Opitz was committed to the second half of the season by the upper division Energie Cottbus. In the 1989 he completed all 13 games of the second half of the season. Opitz made his debut on February 25, 1989 in the 2-0 defeat against FC Carl Zeiss Jena . In 1989/90 he came to 18 missions. In the 1990/91 season he was only used sporadically, for example after a dismissal for goalkeeper Antonio Ananiev on the 7th match day. In the following season Opitz only played four times for Energie Cottbus in the third-class NOFV-Oberliga.
