Career

At Union Oberschöneweide , Eder began his career in 1947 as a youth player, before moving to the western part of Berlin in 1950 with the entire first team and youth from Union to the newly founded club Union 06 . There he moved up to the 1st team in 1953. With the blue-whites he made his debut on November 15, 1953 in a 6-1 home win against Kickers 1900 as a right wing runner in the then World Cup system in the city league. With the defending champion, Eder took 3rd place in 1953/54 and had played nine games in his debut season alongside fellow players such as goalkeeper Gerhard Wittke , Richard Strehlow , Paul Lemm , Heinz Rogge , Paul Salisch , Günther Schulz and Erwin Wax . In 1956 he moved to Tennis Borussia Berlin , where he was runner-up in 1956/57 and champion of the Berlin City League in 1957/58. In his first season at TeBe he was still clearly offensive and scored twelve goals alongside Horst Schmutzler . In the final round of the German football championship in 1958, he was used as a middle runner in the games against Karlsruher SC (0: 1), FC Schalke 04 (0: 9) and Eintracht Braunschweig (3: 8).

Hertha won the championship in 1962/63 with 45: 9 points and Eder had at the side of teammates such as goalkeeper Wolfgang Tillich , Hans-Günter Schimmöller , Günter Schüler , Lothar Groß , Helmut Faeder , Hans-Joachim Altendorff (41 goals), Klaus Heuer , Lutz Steinert and Horst Waclawiak under coach Hanne Sobek scored five goals in 23 league appearances. In the finals he was only in action in the 3-0 home win on June 22nd against 1. FC Kaiserslautern. As a player from Union 06, Eder played in the first official international match of the junior national team U 23 on June 25, 1955 for the DFB in Frankfurt. In a 3-3 draw against Yugoslavia, he had formed the German defender pair with Werner Vigna in front of goalkeeper Manfred Orzessek . With the Berlin city selection he played in the trade fair cup in the two games against FC Barcelona in September 1961 (1-0, 0-3). He had formed the runner row with Rudolf Zeiser and Günter Schüler. From 1954 to 1967 Eder played 50 appearances in the city selection.

Eder opened the Bundesliga chapter with Hertha on August 24, 1963 with a home game against 1. FC Nürnberg. In the 1-1 draw against the "Club" headed by Max Morlock , he acted as a middle runner and faced Heinz Strehl in most of the duels . With Otto Rehhagel , Carl-Heinz Rühl , Uwe Klimaschefski and Harald Beyer , there were four newcomers to the Hertha team. In the first Bundesliga year he was a regular player as usual and made 26 Bundesliga appearances, but increased this quota to 30 appearances in the second Bundesliga year 1964/65 and reached 14th place in the table with newcomer Wolfgang Fahrian in goal, again with Hertha. Since Hertha had paid their active players far more than the DFB statu stipulated, the Berliners were punished with the Bundesliga exclusion and transferred to the second-rate Berlin Regional League for the 1965/66 season. Eder and his team won the championship three times in a row from 1966 to 1968 in the Berlin Regionalliga; but only in the third attempt he was able to prevail with Hertha in the promotion round in 1968 and thus celebrate the return to the Bundesliga. From 1965 to 1968, Eder played 51 league games in the regional league and 16 games in the Bundesliga promotion round with Hertha.

In 1971 he worked briefly as assistant to "Fiffi" ​​Kronsbein . His greatest success at Hertha was the 6th place in the 1st Bundesliga in the 1972/73 season , after which he said goodbye to active football. In total, he played 57 times in the top German division.

Trainer

Just one year after he had stopped playing football, Hans Eder returned to Hertha BSC on March 14, 1974 , this time as coach, replacing Helmut Kronsbein and leading the 1973/74 round to an end. On July 1, 1974, Dettmar Cramer took over Hertha, but after eight days he was gone again and Eder jumped in until July 16, before Georg Keßler was a head coach again until June 30, 1977. When Kuno Klötzer was dismissed on October 28, 1979, Eder stepped in again as a replacement until December 26, 1979. The procedure in the 1985/86 season was similar: Uwe Kliemann was dismissed on November 11, 1985, Eder took over immediately and continued his coaching activity at Hertha until December 31, 1985.

Nevertheless, he worked as an assistant coach for Hertha BSC until the 1990/1991 season; Between 1968 and 1990 the former Hertha player experienced eleven head coaches, to whom he was always loyal fellow campaigner. “I'm a natural assistant coach,” says Eder of himself, and in fact he was never a man who sawed his boss's chair. As a coaching assistant, Eder accompanied and experienced many generations of Hertha players and played a decisive role in shaping them. Lorenz Horr , Erich Beer , Erwin Kostedde and Wolfgang Gayer stayed in his memory the most .

Nickname "Gustav"

Hans Eder owes his nickname "Gustav" to the fact that he had the same name as the successful Berlin boxer Gustav Eder .
