Hans Screech

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hans Kreische (born December 7, 1922 in Dresden ; † January 9, 2003 ibid) was a German football player who won the runner-up in the GDR league with the SG Dresden-Friedrichstadt in 1950 .

Life

Clubs, youth and homecoming, 1928 to 1945

At the age of six, in 1928, Hans Kreische began playing football in his father's club, ASV Friedrichstadt. His rapidly developing talent led him to the boys' team of the great Dresdner SC in 1933 . There he successfully passed the entire grades. When he was supposed to join the successful Gauliga team around Richard Hofmann and Helmut Schön in 1940 - the DSC won the trophy in 1940 and was in the final of the German championship - he was drafted into the navy due to the circumstances of the Second World War and transferred to Stralsund. This was followed by the stations of Kiel, Holland, Aarhus, Copenhagen and Norway, where he was taken prisoner at the end of the war. In late autumn 1945 he was transferred to English captivity in Braunschweig, from which he was able to flee to Wernigerode. From there he made his way to Dresden and found his parents in Lockwitz on December 19, 1945.

Association SG Friedrichstadt, until 1950

Immediately afterwards he started playing football again at SG Lockwitz. In the 1946/47 round he played at SG Striesen . There he was approached by Helmut Schön, the player-coach of SG Friedrichstadt, whether he would like to play for the DSC successor club, whereupon he joined the Friedrichstadt-based team for the 1947/48 round. In the semifinals in Saxony, SG Friedrichstadt lost the game with 1: 3 goals at SG Meerane on June 6, 1948 and was therefore unable to take part in the Eastern Zone Championship , which was first held in 1948 . In the second year, 1948/49, however, the Schön team won the final in the Dresden district in a replay against SG Mickten and then secured the Saxony championship before SG Meerane and Industrie Leipzig . In the games for the Eastern Zone Championship , the team lost with Hans Kreische - he was used as an outside runner and half-forward - in the quarter-finals on May 29, 1949 with 1: 2 goals at the ZSG Union Halle . When the championship was held for the first time in the zone league (DS league) in the 1949/50 season , Hans "Hansl" Kreische completed all 26 rounds - only goalkeeper Kurt Birkner was also in action in all games for Friedrichstadt - with six goals. The technician with a talent for combination was one of the game-determining players in the team of player-coach Helmut Schön. With their technically offensive style of play, the team with attackers Rolf Drognitz , Walter Werner , Kurt Lehmann , Helmut Schön and Henry Keßler achieved an average attendance of 28,230 per home game, more than double the average for the league. At the last and decisive championship game on April 16, 1950 in Dresden against the tied competitor from Zwickau , even 60,000 spectators lined the Heinz-Steyer-Stadion in the Ostragehege . After the surprising 1: 5 home defeat, the DSC and Hans Kreische had to be satisfied with the runner-up. The spectator riots after the game were taken as an opportunity to dissolve SG Friedrichstadt and formally incorporate it into VVB Tabak Dresden .

Helmut Schön and most of the players then joined Hertha BSC in the Berlin City League . From the Monday after the Zwickau game, Hans Kreische stayed with Kurt Birkner and Rolf Drognitz on a selection course for the eastern zone selection in Bad Elster and therefore only saw this action after returning to Dresden. He then also joined Helmut Schön's new team, although he originally wanted to move to the Bergisches Land for SSV Wuppertal 04 together with Henry Kessler and Walter Werner , where ex-national player Herbert Pohl , since his departure from Friedrichstadt in February 1950 ( 15 games with three goals) held the position of player-coach in the 2nd League West .

The technician with playmaking qualities was deployed on September 14, 1949 in Leipzig in the game of Saxony against the Lower Rhine - with Kurt Borkenhagen , Werner Göbel , Karl Klug and Paul Mebus - in the 1949/50 regional cup as a left runner. In the 2-1 success he formed the runner row together with Herbert Pohl and Helmut Schubert . At the quarter-finals on November 13, 1949 in Nuremberg against Bavaria - the later cup winner - he also represented the Saxon colors. With the Saxony selection he still played against Csepel / Szombathely and on March 26, 1950 against Berlin. Helmut Schön also used Kreische as the right runner in the east zone selection in the test match on February 26, 1950 against Mecklenburg.

Berlin, Heidelberg, Dresden, until 1961

In the Stadtliga Berlin 1950/51, Hans Kreische completed 19 games with seven goals for Hertha BSC. Financial problems and promises not kept by the club's management led to turbulence, which caused player coach Helmut Schön to give up prematurely and Hertha did not allow serious competition for the champions Tennis Borussia Berlin . The "Veilchen" won the city championship in 1950/51 with a five point lead over the runner-up SC Union 06 Berlin and twelve points over Hertha as third in the table. The performance of Hans Kreische convinced the coach of the Berlin city selection, Johannes "Hanne" Sobeck , so that he called the ex-Dresdener for the first international post-war city game on February 11, 1951 against Zurich in the Berlin selection. In front of 80,000 spectators, the teams drew 2-2 and Kreische stood as the right runner next to seven players - Steinbeck, Junik, Podratz, Wittig, Berndt, Schmutzler, Wilde - from Tennis Borussia Berlin, three players from Union 06 - Stelter, Wax , Salisch - and Jonas von Viktoria in 1889 on the square.

With the former chairman of SG Friedrichstadt, Curt Schultze, some players from Dresden moved to Heidelberg in July 1951 in the hope of being accepted into what was then the 2nd League South. This wish did not come true. In the first year in Heidelberg, the team acted as an independent department within TSG 78 Heidelberg in the A-Class Heidelberg as a crowd puller, but did not find the necessary support to quickly start up from the district lowlands. So on April 30, 1952, the DSC Heidelberg was founded as a traditional club of the Dresdner SC under the chairmanship of Curt Schultze and the team was integrated into the 1st amateur league North Baden for the round 1952/53 . Behind master FV Daxlanden and runner-up FV Hockenheim 08 , Hans Kreische and his playmates took third place in 1953. Despite offers from Kickers Offenbach , Bayern Hof and FC Metz , the 31-year-old returned to Dresden at the beginning of 1954 at the request of his wife. Because of the provision of a workplace and an apartment, he joined the VP Dresden. In the 1954/55 round he completed 16 games in the GDR league. At the request of trainer Helmut Petzold, after the move to Berlin, where the Dresden team started as SC Dynamo Berlin on November 21, 1954 , he initially went to the capital and constantly commuted between Dresden and Berlin. Together with Günter Schröter , Johannes Matzen and Herbert Schoen , Kreische came in seventh place with the Dynamo team. He returned to Dynamo Dresden and in 1957 was able to celebrate the championship in the Dresden district league and promotion to the 2nd GDR league , where he also had a significant share in the immediate championship success and promotion to the 1st GDR league with twelve goals in 1958 . At the age of 38, Hans Kreische was retired from Dynamo Dresden in 1961 after the 1960/61 round.

Further development

Professionally, Hans Kreische was employed by the Reichsbahn in general cargo transport in Dresden. He died in early 2003 of complications from cancer.
