As hoped, 1. FC Lok Richter played in all six European Cup matches in 1983/84, where he was Leipzig's top EC goalscorer with five goals. By 1987, Richter was used at Lok Leipzig in a total of 22 European Cup matches. In the league games of the GDR league, Hans Richter continued his position as a regular at Lok Leipzig.

Return to FC Karl-Marx-Stadt

Already on the occasion of the cup semi-final match between FC Karl-Marx-Stadt and 1. FC Lok (1: 3) on May 19, 1987, the daily newspaper Neues Deutschland announced that Richter would return to FCK after the end of the season. (See also Sparwasser quote below) At FC Karl-Marx-Stadt, Richter was able to maintain his status as a regular player. In the 1987/88 season he was the top scorer with twelve goals on his return and only missed one point game. In 1988/89 he was the only FCK player to play all 26 league games, but only scored four goals, although still used as a striker. After Richter had played all four games in the 1987/88 Cup up to the quarter-finals (1: 2 against Hansa Rostock ), he was used five times in the 1988/89 Cup season, where he was also called up as a right-hand striker in the final, which the FCK only just lost 1-0 against BFC Dynamo . In the league season 1989/90 Richter played four encounters up to the 5th matchday. On September 12, he was still used in the UEFA Cup game FCK against Boavista Porto (1-0). In all five games Richter was only a substitute and was only used in the 2nd half (see also Meyer quote below). Two weeks after his last assignment, he fled on October 1, 1989 via the Prague embassy to the Federal Republic of Frankfurt am Main .

International career

From 1977 to 1978 Hans Richter was part of the GDR junior team . He played his first international game on May 24, 1977 in the encounter between Poland and GDR (0-1), in which he was used as a left winger in Mława . At the youth competition of friendship in Hungary in 1977 he took 4th place with the U-18 of the DFV. From this tournament he was called up in most of the matches in defense. In total, he came to 18 international appearances, in which he scored four goals. His most important games were the two qualifying matches for the UEFA youth tournament against Greece in 1978 , in which the GDR juniors missed the final round for the third time in a row after two 1-1 draws and a 3-4 penalty shoot-out in the second leg in Potsdam-Babelsberg .

After Richter had played two international matches with the GDR youth national team in 1980, he made his international debut as a right-wing striker in the GDR national team as a player for FC Karl-Marx-Stadt on November 17, 1982 in the friendly game between the GDR and Romania (4-1) . He scored the first of his four international goals on his second appearance in the GDR friendly against Greece (2-1). His 15 international matches (7 for FCK, 8 for 1. FC Lok), in which he scored four goals, also included five European Championship qualifiers in 1982/83 (Belgium 1: 2, 1: 2, Switzerland 3: 0 , Scotland 2-1 and France 0-2) as well as the World Cup qualifier on December 8, 1984 (France 2-0 GDR). The last international match was played by Richter, who is now FCK player again, at the friendship between Poland and GDR (2-0) on August 19, 1987, when he came on for striker Ulf Kirsten in the 59th minute . For the GDR Olympic team , Richter completed 14 qualifying games from 1983 to 1988 and scored three goals. In total he was used in 31 games from 1982 to 1988 in this representative and was able to distinguish himself as a goal scorer ten times.

In the European Cup , Hans Richter played a total of 23 games, including 14 in the UEFA Cup (13 Lok Leipzig, 1 FCK) and nine in the European Cup Winners' Cup for Lok Leipzig. He scored ten goals, seven in the UEFA Cup and three in the Cup Winners' Cup. His greatest success in the European Cup was in 1987 reaching the final in the Cup Winners' Cup. In the match between Ajax Amsterdam and 1. FC Lok, which Leipzig lost just 0: 1, Richter was used as the right striker.

Suspicions by IM and national team coach Bernd Stange that Richter wanted to leave the GDR, ended his international career.

Amateur until the end of the career

After his escape from the GDR, Richter found a connection with the former Bundesliga club Offenbacher FC Kickers in November 1989 , who at that time played in the third-class amateur league . Due to the upheaval caused by the turnaround , Richter got around the previously usual UEFA ban and received approval from the DFV from March 1990. On May 10, 1990 Richter played his first league game for the OFC in the Hessian league against SG Bad Soden . By the end of the season, he played a total of 13 point games and scored seven goals. In the DFB Cup, he played the quarter-finals and semi-finals, which Offenbach was the only third division team to lose 1-0 to eventual cup winners 1. FC Kaiserslautern.

For the 1991/92 season, Richter moved to the Baden league club SV 98 Schwetzingen . For several seasons, the North Baden team had been one of the top teams of the then third-class Oberliga Baden-Württemberg . Richter played 33 of 34 games as a regular player and scored nine goals. In the meantime Richter had settled in Groß-Gerau and switched to the neighboring Hessian league club Rot-Weiß Walldorf in 1992/93 , who was about to rebuild the team. Richter developed into a regular player and completed 56 of 68 league games in the 1992/93 and 1993/94 seasons. In the relegation season 1994/95, in which the Oberliga Hessen was only fourth class due to the reintroduction of the regional leagues, the now 35-year-old judge only made 13 appearances and two goals. The 1995/96 season was only a transit station for the Walldorfers under coach Jürgen Sparwasser in the Landesliga Süd, with 17th place the Walldorfers were relegated to the then sixth class district league Darmstadt.

In the second half of the 1996/97 season Richter returned to Rot-Weiß Walldorf to help the club in the relegation battle. The Walldorfers then climbed from 16th place to 5th place in the table, to which Richter had contributed with eight goals in ten games. The temporary job became permanent because in the following seasons Richter acted again as a regular player in Walldorf and scored 41 goals in 79 out of 100 possible competitive games. In the 1997/98 season Richter was even the top scorer in the district league with 22 goals and played in all 34 games. After the Walldorfers relegated again in the 1999/2000 season, now to the Darmstadt district league, the now 40-year-old judge ended his footballing career after he had played a total of 158 games for the Walldorfers and had scored 60 goals.

Coaching career

After his active playing career, Richter trained SV Dersim Rüsselsheim, Rot-Weiß Walldorf , VfR Groß-Gerau , SG Dornheim and the A-Juniors as well as the second representative of Rot-Weiß Walldorf. For the 2014/15 season he was coach of the DJK Flörsheim, which he led in the first year with a clear lead to the championship of the district upper league Maintaunus and thus to promotion to the group league Wiesbaden. In the following season, with second place, the march into the association league succeeded, from where, however, after only one season it went back one class. In the 2017/18 season, the championship in the group league was won again, and since then the DJK has been playing as an association league again. In September 2018 Richter announced his resignation as trainer of the DJK Flörsheim.

Quotes

  • Jürgen Sparwasser's attitude towards Richter's return to FC Karl-Marx-Stadt: Nothing at all. This is a step backwards for GDR football. Lok needs good strikers for his European games. If FCK would also play internationally, this change could still be tolerated. But as? Sometimes there is too much talk about the resolutions and less action is taken to make progress. (New Germany from August 15, 1987 page 15)
  • FCK trainer Hans Meyer on Richter's missions in 1989/90: I would like to answer everyone who called outside for Hans Richter: Ask him why someone who has just turned 30 has mentally stopped playing football and why he is not fit! (Berliner Zeitung of September 25, 1989, page 5)
