Hamburger SV

Hans Rave came from a Hamburg merchant family that was involved in a timber trade. As a student, the young footballer went through the youth department of SC Germania from 1887. After the merger on June 2, 1919 of HSV 88 (to which FC Falke already belonged) and SC Germania to form the new Hamburg sports club, the offensive player from his own offspring became Season 1920/21 taken over by the league eleven of the "Rothosen". In the team of coaches AW Turner (until the end of March) and Richard Girulatis (from April 1921), the striker made his debut on August 22, 1920 at the home game against Kilia Kiel in the north German team, reinforced by the additional external newcomers Hans Martens , Ludwig Breuel and Walter Kolzen League. In the 3-2 win, the 17-year-old stormed on the left wing, and Kolzen and Breuel formed the right attacking side. Together they were responsible for assists and passes in the middle of the attack to goal scorer Otto Harder . From the 1921/22 season, Rave was a flank donor on the left wing of the regular line-up of the team with the "diamond" from the Rothenbaum Stadium .

The quality of the HSV-Elf continued to improve in Rave's second year in the league team thanks to the newcomers Asbjørn Halvorsen and Albert Beier , and the North German champions moved into the final against the defending champions 1. FC Nürnberg in the final round of the German championship in 1922 . In the heat of the day, the first final game in Berlin only came to an end after 189 (!) Minutes when the score was 2: 2 on June 18, 1922 - in Green's story about the German championship he noted this as "the almost infinite extra time" - as the game was canceled by referee Peco Bauwens because of falling darkness . Left wing Rave had brought his team 1-0 lead in the 19th minute. The second final took place on August 6th in Leipzig and was canceled again after 105 minutes when the score was 1: 1, as the "club" only had seven players left. The HSV attack with Kolzen, Breuel, Harder, Karl Schneider and Rave started in both finals .

The Victoria - challenge cup for the German soccer champions from 1903 to 1944 - won the Hamburger SV for the first time in 1923 and again in 1928.

Twelve months later, on June 10, 1923 in Berlin, Rave and his teammates won the first German championship with a 3-0 victory in the final against Union Oberschöneweide and brought Victoria to Hamburg. The attack formation was identical to the two final games against 1. FC Nürnberg last year. On June 8, 1924, the “rave, which had a 'Mollenfriedhof' in front of it at a young age, and still formed the ideal counterpart to Walter 'Lauf' Kolzen on the right wing, was in the third consecutive final of the German football championship. Despite the newcomers Hans Lang and Walter Risse , 1. FC Nürnberg prevailed with a 2-0 win against the defending champions from Hamburg. Rave and his HSV attacking colleagues were unable to prevail against the Franconian defense, which was completely with national players - Gustav Bark was a national player for Switzerland.

In the three years from 1925 to 1927 Rave could not qualify for the final with Hamburger SV in the finals for the German championship. In the year of the 1928 Summer Olympics in Amsterdam - on May 28 and June 2, Germany played two tournament games with HSV defender Albert Beier against Switzerland and the eventual Olympic champion Uruguay - the final round of the German championship was not held until July. The team of coach Rudolf Agte prevailed both in the semifinals against Bayern Munich (8: 2) and in the final against Hertha BSC (5: 2) and won the second German championship. The flank giver on the left wing, Hans Rave, had scored five goals in four games: one goal each against Schalke 04, Königsberg and Hertha BSC as well as two goals in the semi-finals against the Bayern defense organized by Ludwig Goldbrunner .

After the championship in Northern Germany, which was safely played out - 12-0 points against Holstein Kiel, Victoria Hamburg, Hannover 96, Arminia Hannover, St. Pauli and Rasensport Harburg - and the German championship in the 1927/28 season, HSV broke in the next two rounds in the games for the North German championship with the ranks three (1929) and four (1930). This crisis and the popular rejuvenation process of the HSV-Ligaelf led to Rave joining city ​​rivals SC Victoria Hamburg together with center forward Harder and his counterpart on the right wing, Walter Kolzen, during the 1930/31 season.

For a decade, the squat winger had played the same important role as Walter Kolzen on the right wing as a flanker from the left side for goal scorer “Tull” Harder in the attack center.

After a total of 169 games with 62 goals - 90 games (31 goals) in the Hamburg League / Oberliga Hamburg; 9 games (eight goals) in the "Round of Ten"; 44 games (13 goals) for the North German championship; 21 games (eight goals) in the final round of the German championship; 5 DFB Cup games (2 goals) - that ended the Hamburger SV chapter for Hans Rave.

SC Victoria Hamburg

The financially independent businessman played for a few more years for the "Zitronen" from the Hoheluft stadium . Until the spring of 1933 he was also the treasurer of "Vicky". After his death in August 1977 it turned out that he had left his second and last club 200,000 marks to promote youth work.

Selection team

For the national team it was not enough for the flank giver on the left HSV wing. At the beginning of his career was the Nuremberg Hans Sutor and from the middle of the "twenties" the Munich Ludwig Hofmann , regular player on the left wing in the national team. Prüß speculates, "perhaps the vocation stood in the way of the figurative attribute".

In contrast, Rave was appointed seven times in the selection of Northern Germany. He was part of the successful team that won the Federal Cup competition on March 9, 1930 in Altona with a 2-0 victory over Brandenburg. With Wilhelm Blunk (goalkeeper), Albert Beier, Walter Risse, Otto Sommer and Franz Horn five other club colleagues from Rave were in action. Two years earlier, on April 29, 1928, he had belonged to the final team of North Germany in the 2-0 defeat against Southeast Germany.

3-2-2-3 WM system
2-3-5 system

Rave and colleagues still played in the so-called "offensive system", which lasted almost until 1930, with the "offensive middle runner" playing the decisive role, exemplified in German football by Hans Kalb at 1. FC Nürnberg, Ludwig Leinberger at SpVgg Fürth and at Hamburger SV by Asbjørn Halvorsen. He was the mediator between attack and defense. It is completely wrong to equate the "offensive system" with striker vortex and numerous goals. On the contrary: the offside rule was only changed in 1925 because the attacking game got lost and shots on goal were rare. Goals were in short supply, defenses were too one-sided. After the change of the offside rule in 1925, which stated that "at least two (previously three) opponents must be between the player and the goal at the moment of his throwing the ball", the storm game ran freely and uninhibited, in contrast to the "offensive system" especially steep and ran steeply into free space. The space for the center forward became almost unlimited. The offside trap that had previously slowed down the attacking game was difficult to set. In Germany, the then Reich coach asked Otto mink the German national team in 1933 in preparation for the 1934 World Cup in Italy to England since 1927/28 by Arsenal manager Herbert Chapman introduced the WM system in order. The active time of Rave was clearly marked by the "offensive system", only after the World Cup in 1934 did the World Cup system with the defensive middle runner as head of defense found its way into German football, which had been cultivated for decades.
