Hans Walter Frankenstein (* 1893 ; † after 1940) was an Austrian football referee .

Life

Frankenstein played as an active player in the position of goalkeeper and started at the Vienna Cricket and Football Club . After stints in Frankfurt and Offenbach, he returned to the cricket team and then worked for Wiener AF , Meidlinger Sportvereinigung and SC Weisse Elf Wien . A serious knee injury ended his career and from then on he worked as a coach and section head for the White Elf, which rose to the second professional class under his leadership.

As a referee he whistled regularly in the Austrian I. League from 1926 to 1938 and also came to numerous international missions. Between 1929 and 1937 he led nine international matches and 14 games in the Mitropa Cup . At national level he was entrusted with the final of the ÖFB Cup four times , in 1930, 1932, 1936 and 1937.

Persecution and Retirement

The annexation of Austria to the nationalist Germany brought an abrupt end of career for many Austrian referees. Just four days later, on March 16, 1938 , the newspaper Das kleine Blatt reported the headline Cleaning in the Vienna Football Association under the heading Das kleine Sportblatt . With the exclusion of 98 Jewish activists, the Viennese arbitration board was deprived of a quarter of its members in one fell swoop.

The two international referees Hans Walter Frankenstein and Adolf Rosenberger from the National League were also affected by this measure . For example, the referee and leather goods master Frankenstein, who had his own workshop in Vienna-Neubau , had to reckon with further inconveniences due to the connection to the Reich. At first he stayed in Vienna with his wife and two daughters. In 1940 he then left home with them, presumably for Bolivia.
