Athletic career

Young players

When Georg Buschner took over the training of the league club SC Motor Jena at the beginning of the second half of the 1958 season, he gave some young players from the club's youth department the chance to prove themselves in the league team. Among them was 18-year-old Hans Graupe, who could already look back on a successful career in youth football. In 1954 he won the unofficial GDR student championship with the Jena student selection. After he stood in the final of the “Young World” junior cup in 1957 with SC Motor Jena and scored the Jena goal in the 1: 2 against Eintracht Braunschweig, he won the GDR junior championship with the Janaers in the same year. In the final he scored the winning 1-0 against SC Lok Leipzig. At the beginning of 1958, Graupe was included in the squad of the GDR junior national team and played his first international junior game as a half-left striker in a 3-0 draw against Austria on March 22nd. Three more international appearances followed in the course of the year.

DDR-Oberliga in Jena

He made his debut in the GDR league on August 17, 1958 in the game of the 15th match day SC Motor Jena - SC Chemie Halle-Leuna (4-0) as a substitute. By the end of the season he played a total of nine league games, including five over the full game, in which he was called up as a striker. In the second half of the 1959 season, coach Buschner made Hans Graupe a regular player. After three games as an attacker, Graupe was taken back to midfield, where he completed all the point games until the end of the season. Graupe also played his third league season in 1960 in the position of right runner . He was used 23 times in the 26 point games and also played in the right midfield in the GDR Cup final on October 7, 1960. SC Motor Jena won 3-2 after extra time against SC Empor Rostock. Graupe completed the successful 1960 season with two international youth matches and three appearances in the B national team. For the 1961/62 season, which was played over 39 rounds due to the changeover of the calendar to the summer-spring rhythm, Buschner made numerous changes within the team, as a result of which Graupe took over the left side of midfield. Due to injury, he was only used on the 5th matchday, but then played all eight subsequent matches up to the 13th matchday on June 11, 1961. He then played six more games with the SC Motor in the Intercup , then he fled shortly before the wall was built the Federal Republic of. By then he had played 72 competitive games for SC Motor Jena: 59 in the GDR Oberliga (one goal), seven national cup games and six Intercup games.

Escape and probation

While the GDR press accused Graupe of betraying his team and the Jena players had to express themselves in the same way, Graupe tried to get a contract with Hamburg's FC St. Pauli . Although he was able to participate in training with FC, which played in the Oberliga Nord , there was no signing of a contract. After he was assured of impunity, he returned to Jena in October 1961. Graupe was initially banned from competitive sports , so he joined the company sports association (BSG) Motor Zeiss Jena, for which he played in the fourth-class district league and in 1962/63 in the third-class II GDR league . After his suspension had expired, he was active in the second-class GDR league for BSG Motor Weimar in the 1963/64 season .

In the 1964/65 season Graupe joined the GDR league relegated SC Turbine Erfurt. There he was involved in the immediate resurgence with 17 missions in 26 point games and three goals. In the summer of 1965, the 25-year-old Graupe started his sixth GDR league season in Erfurt . In the meanwhile newly formed FC Rot-Weiß Erfurt and the new coach Helmut Nordhaus , Graupe did not get beyond the substitute role and was only used 13 times in different storm positions in the 26 point games at irregular intervals; he only managed one goal. He therefore went back to BSG Motor Weimar for the 1966/67 season, where he played again in the GDR league until 1969.
