Hans-Jürgen Wittkamp (born July 23, 1947 in Gelsenkirchen) is a former German soccer player .
Life

Career
Wittkamp began his Bundesliga career in 1967 at FC Schalke 04 as a striker and midfielder. He moved to Borussia Mönchengladbach in 1971 and celebrated his great successes at Bökelberg, mainly as a sweeper .
As a Schalke player, he was also involved in the Bundesliga scandal and, now a player in Mönchengladbach, was sentenced by the Essen regional court and banned by the DFB. It was banned from March 18, 1973 to February 28, 1974, but received the theoretical clearance for foreign countries from June 25, 1973 as well as a DM 2,300 fine. Wittkamp was pardoned on January 24, 1974, but later sentenced to a suspension that lasted from February 21, 1976 to March 24, 1976 and from December 9, 1976 to January 14, 1977. In addition, he had to pay a fine of DM 10,000 in favor of cancer aid.
He then won the German championship with Borussia in 1975, 1976 and 1977 and won the 1973 DFB Cup . He celebrated his greatest international triumphs in 1975 when he won the UEFA Cup and in 1977 he reached the final of the European Cup against Liverpool , which Mönchengladbach lost.
This season Wittkamp also headed the decisive 2-0 in the semi-final second leg against Dynamo Kiev . The ball was lifted over the wall by Rainer Bonhof's free-kick trick and Wittkamp fought his way through despite a penalty worthy foul, but shot the ball against the chest of the last man standing on the line. After the rebound was flanked back into the penalty area, Wittkamp artistically headed the ball with his back to the goal to make it 2-0.
At the end of his career in 1978, after the last first division game, the legendary football game Borussia Mönchengladbach - Borussia Dortmund on April 29, 1978, he moved to SpVgg Erkenschwick in the top amateur league or 2nd Bundesliga North. From 1984 to the end of 1986 he also worked there as a trainer.
After the career
After the end of his career, Wittkamp worked again in administration. First he worked in the registration office and then in the road traffic office. Later he was a clerk in the environmental office in the district administration of the Recklinghausen district . He retired in 2004 and has lived with his wife in Recklinghausen-Hochlar as well as on Mallorca since then.
