Career

societies

The defensive all-rounder, who was mainly used as a defensive player (he acted as an outside runner, middle runner and defender as required), came in 1917, at the age of 23, from lower class FC Schneidig Fürth to SpVgg Fürth in the regional league Middle Franconia. With this club he achieved great success. Hagen was considered spirited and grim, but was strong in running and elegant in the ball.

In 1920 he got with the Fürthern to the final of the German championship against 1. FC Nuremberg , which was lost 2-0. From 1920 to 1931 he competed with the game association in 20 finals for the German football championship. He made it into the semifinals five times with the “Kleeblatt-Elf”, three times into the finals, and twice in the finals. For Hagen, who kept a scar on his face as a “souvenir” from the First World War , it was enough for his debut in the senior national team in 1920 . The bundle of energy developed into the “combative conscience” of the green-whites.

One month before his 32nd birthday, on June 13, 1926, he was finally able to win the German championship with his Fürth team. In the final in Frankfurt , the team around Ludwig Leinberger , Hagen, Andreas Franz , Leonhard Seiderer and Willi Ascherl won 4-1 against Hertha BSC, led by Karl Tewes and Johannes Sobeck .

In 1929 SpVgg Fürth was the last German champion, and again Hertha BSC was the final opponent. This time the 3-2 win was also significantly narrower and the winning goal in Nuremberg only fell in the 85th minute. Fürth did not make it to the final in the following period and in the south, FC Bayern Munich had overtaken the Ronhofers. Hagen played the last final round of the German championship on May 17, 1931 when he lost 3-1 in Berlin with his team-mates Leinberger, Franz, Georg Frank and Georg Kießling in the quarter-finals . Two months before his 37th birthday, he ran again as a right outside runner.

Hans Hagen ended his career after 883 games for the Fürth and the professional footballer active as a sports teacher was then still active as a football teacher at 1. FC Bamberg (player coach, 1935-39) and from 1939 to 1947 at SpVgg Fürth .

Selection teams

Hagen made his debut on September 26, 1920 in Vienna in the international match against Austria in a 2-3 defeat in the national team. By 1930 he played twelve internationals , although he had not played any internationals at all in 1921 and in the years 1926 to 1928. Several times in 1924 he formed the German runner series with Hans Kalb and Hans Schmidt . On October 20, 1929, he wore the captain's armband in a 4-0 win against Finland in Altona . He formed the German final triangle with the two players from Hamburger SV, goalkeeper Wilhelm Blunk and Albert Beier . With the substitution on May 4, 1930 in Zurich in the 70th minute for defender Hans Stubb , in a 5-0 win against Switzerland, the Fürth ended his national team career.

Between 1922 and 1926, Hagen won six final games for the fighting game and national cup with southern Germany .
