career

Braunschweig, until 1949

Hagenacker began his football career as an offensive outside runner or half-forward, in the World Cup system that was usually used in German football at the time . After the Second World War he won the championship in the Lower Saxony Oberliga, Group North, in the 1946/47 season with the major club from Braunschweig, now eligible to start as TSV. In the final round of the championship in the British zone of occupation , he joined Braunschweig on June 22, 1947 against the Niederrheinmeister Rot-Weiß Oberhausen. In the 2-3 defeat after extra time, the Braunschweig runner row was formed with Hagenacker, Willi Fricke and Karl-Heinz Liese . In the first year of the Oberliga Nord, 1947/48 , Hagenacker and colleagues under coach Georg Knöpfle took third place behind champions Hamburger SV and FC St. Pauli - both tied with 37: 7 points each. Hagenacker had scored ten goals in the league. In the home game against Hamburger SV on February 29, 1948, Hagenacker scored the goal to make it 1-0 in front of 30,000 spectators. Against the "miracle eleven" from St. Pauli with Karl Miller , Heinz Hempel , Harald Stender , Walter Dzur , Hans Appel , Rolf Börner , Fritz Machate , Heinz Lehmann and Heinrich Schaffer , however, there were 0: 3 and 2: 7 in both games clear defeats. In the final round of the British Zone Championship, Braunschweig met in the quarter-finals on May 9, 1948 in Gelsenkirchen on the runner-up of the Western League, Sportfreunde Katernberg. The Knöpfle-Elf prevailed with 2: 1. The semi-final on May 30th was lost to the "Rothosen" from HSV in front of 35,000 spectators in the Volksparkstadion with a 2: 3 advantage. In the attack, the "lions" were there with Rolf Rohrberg , Hagenacker, Walter Schemel , Horst Broschat and Heinrich Ender . In the second season of the Oberliga Nord, 1948/49 , Braunschweig landed under the new coach Woldemar Gerschler in fourth place behind Hamburger SV, St. Pauli and VfL Osnabrück. Hagenacker had scored six goals in 21 league games. For the round 1949/50 he moved after 44 league appearances with 16 goals for Braunschweig, to the league competitor SV Werder Bremen.

Bremen, 1949 to 1959

After the introduction of the contract player statute for the 1949/50 season in the four contract player upper leagues, in which there were up to 320 DM to be earned, the "Green-Whites" won through the activities of managing director Hans "Hansi" Wolff and the bustling "Macher" "Albert" Abbi "Drews added strong newcomers to Werder year after year. This was made possible on the basis of generous support from Bremen's economy. The "lure" was hand money and employment in the companies of the patrons. So with Hans Hagenacker came the other players Horst Broschat (also Eintracht Braunschweig), Herbert Burdenski (FC Schalke 04), Kuno Klötzer (Helmstedter SV), Karl-Heinz Preuße and Heiner Tünnermann (both from local rivals Bremer ) for the 1949/50 season SV ) to SV Werder. The debut at Werder came on September 4, 1949 in the 3-0 away win at Göttingen 05. Hagenacker played half right and scored a goal. Team players in the attack were Kurt Wunderlich , Horst Gernhardt , Preuße and Heinz Rath . Personally, the season went very well for the newcomer from Braunschweig. With 25 goals, he finished second in the top scorer list in the north behind Adolf Vetter from VfL Osnabrück with 28 goals and ahead of Edmund Adamkiewicz from Hamburger SV with 22 goals. He had played all 30 league games for his new club, which had improved with fourth place compared to eighth place last year.

But it wasn't quite enough to reach the top in the next few years. Despite the other "purchases" with Hans Pöschl , Otto Knefler , Günter Heyse , Erich Haase , Erich Ebert , Max Konopka and the international striker Willi Schröder . The two third places in the rounds 1952/53 and 1954/55 represented the best placements. The Werder-Elf, popularly known as "Texas-Elf" after a cigarette brand from Brinkmann and also called "Sphinx of the North" because of their moodiness this era, had problems establishing itself at the top.

Only when Georg Knöpfle took office as the new coach for the 1958/59 season should there be any improvement. Hagenacker, the now 34-year-old veteran, had long been active in defense and had formed an excellent pair with Richard "Sense" Ackerschott over the years in front of goalkeeper Dragomir Ilic. He completed another 29 league games and scored three goals and the Werder-Elf conquered the runner-up behind the series champions Hamburger SV.

Werder qualified for the finals with a 6: 3 win on May 3, 1959 in Düsseldorf against south-west runner-up Borussia Neunkirchen. The start of the group phase brought a clear 2: 7 defeat on May 16 in the home game in front of 42,000 spectators against Südmeister Eintracht Frankfurt. The Eintracht attack with Richard Kreß , István Sztani , Eckehard Feigenspan , Alfred Pfaff and Dieter Lindner did not bring the Werder defensive around Ilic, Hagenacker, Edmund Rupozinski , Ernst Brünglinghaus , Heyse and Helmut Schimeczek under control. In the last group game, on June 20, at the second leg at the Waldstadion in Frankfurt, the southern champion, who finished group I with 12: 0 points and 26:11 goals, also won 2: 0, and moved into the final on 28 June 1959 in the Berlin Olympic Stadium against Kickers Offenbach. Hagenacker had played all seven games for Werder and scored the goal for the final score on June 7th in a 5-2 home win against southwest champion FK Pirmasens on half left alongside attacking colleagues Günter Wilmovius , Willi Schröder, Arnold Schütz and Horst Barth .

His achievements led him to the selection of Northern Germany from 1948 to 1950. He represented the NFV selection in two representative games against southern and western Germany. He also played in the selection of Lower Saxony and Bremen.

After a total of 311 games in the Oberliga Nord football league with 79 goals, Hagenacker, who was initially an offensive outside runner or half-striker and later moved into defense, ended his playing career in the summer of 1959.
