Hans Schmidt (* December 23, 1893 in Fürth ; † January 31, 1971 ibid), called "Bumbes" (more rarely: "Bumbas"), was a German football player and coach . He won a total of eight German championship titles : four times as a player and four times as a coach.
With FC Schalke 04 he won the Tschammer Cup in 1937 and celebrated the double that year . From 1913 to 1926 he completed 16 international matches in the German national soccer team and won the national cup and the fighting game cup with southern Germany in 1922 and 1926 . As a player with "unusual fighting qualities and willpower," Franke, who encourages his teammates, conveyed these virtues as a coach to his teams as the basis for success.
Player career
societies
When the 12-year-old Hans Schmidt first came into contact with football in July 1906, this sport was still in the process of being developed in Germany; football had made its final breakthrough as a club sport in the 1890s. The football department of TV 1860 Fürth, which split off from the gymnasts in November 1906 as SpVgg Fürth , was only founded in September 1903 as the first Fürth team. Hans Schmidt moved up to the first team of the White-Greens in 1910/11 at the age of 17 and, as an outside runner, was part of their regular line-up for the next few years. Fürth moved into the South German finals for the first time in the 1911/12 round as the Ostkreismeister , won the South German championship in 1914 and therefore made his debut in the final round of the German championship that season. The young Schmidt quickly developed into an outstanding player personality. With his willpower, dynamism and fighting power, he never gave up a game and often spurred his teammates on to greater commitment. The coaching activity of William Townley , who from April 1911 looked after the "Kleeblattelf" at the Ronhof, had a major influence on his athletic development .
With his engagements at Karlsruher FV , SpVgg Fürth and FC Bayern Munich , the Englishman is honored as the founder of the southern German school , which mainly played the flat pass game over several stations. Schmidt himself considered Townley to be his decisive teacher. He admired the technique with which he demonstrated every exercise. Instead of following the motto "to shoot as hard and as far as possible", as was previously the case in Germany, the man from Blackburn introduced technical refinements, improved ball handling, allowed moves and attack combinations to be practiced and introduced the flat pass game. All of this was unusual training content for German soccer teams. Christoph Bausenwein quotes Schmidt with the following statement about the trainer from England:
“In the training games he showed us how to let the ball run. In winter he did a varied indoor training. We trained three times a week. Back then I was working as a commercial clerk in the toy industry. After business hours I went to the Ronhof. And at a run, so I didn't miss a minute of Townley's training. "
The later trainer "Bumbes" Schmidt also learned tactical training, systematic training and the discipline necessary for competitive sports, which included healthy eating and lifestyle, from his teacher in Fürth.
In terms of system and tactics, "Bumbes" Schmidt grew up with the old rule of the offside, which was in place until 1925. It said that every attacker stood aside when he was in front of the ball and no longer had three opponents in front of him; it favored the development of order around the offensive middle runner. With that, the back team, covering space, understood how to catch the strikers right behind the center line, even though four players were usually facing five attackers. The strikers were often only able to play sideways. When running steeply there was the greatest risk of offside. As a result, goals were in short supply despite the offensive system; the defense was too one-sided. When the offside rule was finally changed in 1925, the storm game ran more freely, above all you played steeply and ran into the free space. The offside trap was difficult to set. Never again have so many goals been scored as in the period after the offside rule was changed. In Germany this time lasted until around 1933, when Otto Nerz changed the German national team in preparation for the World Cup in Italy in 1934 to the World Cup system with the withdrawn middle runner that had been practiced in England for several years by trainer Herbert Chapman at Arsenal in London Man hit the opposing center forward. During the time of his playing career, "Bumbes" Schmidt experienced the offensive system, embodied in particular in the football stronghold of Nuremberg-Fürth by the two offensive middle runners Hans Kalb and Ludwig Leinberger . In his coaching years he had to adapt to the World Cup system.
As a 19-year-old young player, the Fürth player made his debut on May 18, 1913 in the international match in Freiburg against Switzerland in the national soccer team. At the side of the regular players Karl Wegele and Eugen Kipp , he acted as an outside runner. The Swiss won the game with 2-1 goals. The game association started in the following game year 1913/14 with the players Karl Burger , Georg Wellhöfer , Georg Wunderlich , Fritz Weicz , Karl Franz and Julius Hirsch to a high flight. In the southern German eastern district league, the title was won seven points ahead of 1. FC Nürnberg , and in the final round of the southern German championship with three points ahead of the competition from Frankfurt, Mannheim and Stuttgart. Fürth won the final of the German championship on May 31, 1914 with 3-2 goals after extra time and a total of 160 minutes of play against defending champion VfB Leipzig . "Bumbes" was sent off in the 138th minute. Fürth was ascribed a "technically perfect flat pass game" with which the players were able to "really sweep the audience away". With their aura they achieved an effect that went beyond the city limits; they became the first “favorite club” of many soccer fans all over Germany.
With the beginning of the First World War at the beginning of August 1914, the boom in football in clubs and the national team was severely affected. Schmidt, who had served in the Bavarian 19th Infantry Regiment in Erlangen since 1913 , took part in the entire war on the Western Front , was awarded several awards and was dismissed as a sergeant in 1919 . The Fürth master players Karl Franz, Sebastian Seidel, Hans Jakob and Fritz Weicz lost their lives in the war. South German and German championships could not be held from 1915 to 1919; the national team had after the international match on April 5, 1914 in Amsterdam against the Netherlands until June 27, 1920 break. Schmidt suddenly switched to TV 1860 Fürth in September 1919 . He celebrated promotion to the Northern Bavarian regional league with the “Dambachers” in 1920 and competed there against 1. FC Nürnberg and SpVgg Fürth in 1920/21. As an active member of TV 1860 Fürth, he completed his second appearance in the national team on June 27, 1920 in Zurich in the first international match after the war interrupted. There were seven years between his debut and his second international match, as well as the horrors of World War I and a club change.
During this time, Schmidt experienced the breakthrough from football to mass sport. At the beginning of the Weimar Republic, the DFB recorded an overwhelming increase in membership. While in 1914 around 190,000 football players were organized under the umbrella of the association, this number had risen to just under 470,000 by January 1, 1920. At the beginning of 1921 a further 280,000 members were added. At the same time, some associations developed into large companies with more than 1,000 members. It was not until the eight-hour working day was introduced in many areas on November 23, 1918 that more generous leisure activities were made possible and made a significant contribution to the upswing of football. While Schmidt had completed the final of the German championship against VfB Leipzig on May 31, 1914 with SpVgg Fürth in Magdeburg in front of 6,000 spectators, the 1924 final took place before 30,000, the 1925 final in Frankfurt before 40,000 and that in 1927 in Berlin in front of 50,000 spectators. The dispute between gymnastics and sports associations, which culminated in the “ clean divorce ”, was one of the social developments during this time that contributed to the upswing of football.
From March 1922 the Fürth ran for 1. FC Nürnberg. He played his first game for the "Club" on March 5th in a friendly against TV 1860 Schweinau. Due to an injury, he was absent from the two finals for the German championship on June 18 in Berlin's Grunewaldstadion (2: 2 afterwards) and on August 6 in the replay in Leipzig (1: 1 afterwards) against Hamburger SV. In the three championship successes in 1924 (2-0 against Hamburger SV), 1925 (1-0 n.V. against FSV Frankfurt) and 1927 (2-0 against Hertha BSC), he was a top performer in the 1 . FC Nuremberg. Especially in the triumph against Hertha BSC , the performance of "Bumbes" Schmidt is ascribed to the game-decisive importance. The Berlin combination football did not develop at all; Schmidt had Hertha's dreaded striker "Hanne" Sobek firmly under control, and at the same time he repeatedly put the opponent in danger with his assaults. Thirteen years after his first German championship title (1914), the "fighter" and "driver" celebrated his fourth success in the German finals in 1927. With Hans Kalb and Carl Riegel , he formed a top-class midfield at the “Club” for years. He ended his pure playing career in the summer of 1928, after he had completed 13 games in the finals for the German championship from 1914 to 1927 and a total of 297 games for Nuremberg from 1922 to 1928.
After the 1928/29 season, when he had led ASV Nürnberg to 3rd place in the Northern Bavarian regional league as a player-coach, the 35-year-old finally ended his playing career.
Selection bets
After his debut at age 19 in 1913 in the national football team and his second international match after world war-related seven-year break in June 1920 in Zurich against Switzerland , the international career of "Bumbes" Schmidt took over after joining in March 1922 1. FC Nuremberg only really Drive on. Through his performance in the triumph of Southern Germany in the Federal Cup - through a 7-0 victory in the final on March 5, 1922 against Northern Germany - and on June 23 of the same year in Berlin in the final of the Fighting Cup against West Germany (4-1 victory) the tough two-fighter with the "horse lung" on July 2, 1922 in Bochum at the international match against Hungary for the third time in the national team. Up to December 12, 1926, there were then another 13 missions in the DFB team. Among them was the international match on April 21, 1924 in Amsterdam, as a pure combination of Nuremberg (Stuhlfauth, Kugler, Kalb, Schmidt, Träger) and Fürth (J. Müller, Hagen, Auer, Franz, Seiderer, Ascherl) against the Netherlands a 1-0 win came. At the Olympic football tournament from May 25 to June 9, 1924, the Netherlands took fourth place. In the story of the national soccer team, Grüne describes the circumstances of the encounter in Amsterdam as follows:
“While they set the tone together in terms of sport, they were deeply at odds with one another [the Franconian neighbors]. In April 1924 a curious situation arose when the players of the two rivals drove to the international match in Amsterdam in separate train wagons and did not look at each other. Eight days earlier there had been numerous brutal fouls and brawls at the derby, which had finally spoiled the already tense relationship between clubbers and shamrocks. Amazingly, the players who did not look each other in the eye, let alone talk to each other, still achieved a highly regarded 1-0 victory over the Olympic runners-up, with goal scorer Auer being celebrated only by his teammates from Fürth after his goal. Nuremberg's players, among whom Kalb was the decisive flanker, demonstratively turned their backs on the goalscorer. "
Due to the location of Nuremberg, the two international matches on January 13, 1924 against Austria (4: 3) and on June 20, 1926 against Sweden (3: 3) stood out. When Schmidt and his teammates won the game against the Netherlands with 3-2 goals in Amsterdam on October 31, 1926 , Otto Nerz was there for the first time as a supervisor for the national team. Schmidt met Switzerland six times as a national player. He made his debut against the Confederates in 1913 and, like the attacker Otto Harder , ended his career in the national team on December 12, 1926 in Munich with the 2: 3 defeat two weeks before his 33rd birthday.
With southern Germany, the man from the "Club" had on October 4, 1925 in his second final victory in the national cup (2-1 victory in Leipzig against Central Germany) and on July 4, 1926 with a 7-2 victory in Cologne against West Germany in the fighting game cup gained further successes as a selection player.
Coaching career
FC Schalke 04
Schmidt had earned his first coaching spurs from 1931 to 1933 at Schwarz-Weiß Essen , where he was with the ETB 1931/32 in the Ruhr district league group 1 relay champion, but in the games for the district championship with 2: 4 goals against FC Schalke 04 was inferior. In the 1932/33 series in Group 1 of the Ruhr district league with the eleven from the Uhlenkrugstadion behind SVg Höntrop, it was only enough for the runner-up, and the West German cup final was on April 30, 1933 with 1: 3 goals against the season winner of the district league Berg / Mark (Group 1), VfL Benrath, lost. As the successor to Kurt Otto , "Bumbes" Schmidt took up the position of coach at the German runner-up in 1933, FC Schalke 04 , on August 15, 1933 - a day that "brought about a decisive turning point in Schalke's history".
Kurt Otto had lost the championship final against Fortuna Düsseldorf with Schalke. He was accused of having “not really got a grip on” the team, which is why the club management under Fritz Unkel obliged Schmidt, who was known as a “tough dog”, to replace him. In the first year of the newly installed Gauliga Westfalen , 1933/34, there were no serious competitors for the Schalke team in the regionally limited Westfalenliga with Höntrop, Hüsten, Germania Bochum , Herten, Hagen, Recklinghausen, Münster, Dortmund 95 and Arminia Bielefeld Stars Ernst Kuzorra and Fritz Szepan . Coach “Bumbes” Schmidt's team won the title in Westphalia with a ten-point lead and thus made it into the final round of the German championship . There Schalke prevailed in Group 2 against Benrath, Werder Bremen and TV Eimsbüttel, defeated SV Waldhof Mannheim with 5-2 goals in the semifinals, and sat in the final with 2-1 goals in Berlin on June 24, 1934, with Szepan and Kuzorra who scored Schalke's goals in the 88th and 89th minutes of play against his old club 1. FC Nürnberg and brought the " Victoria " to Schalke for the first time . Compared to the previous year, the quality of the offensive with Ernst Kalwitzki and Adolf Urban had increased significantly, but the work of the new coach had also contributed to the championship. The then defender Hans Bornemann commented:
"He made Schalke tougher, more self-confident and more confident of victory."
When Schmidt came to Schalke, the combination game based on first-class ball technique was already running at a high level for the blue-whites. The Franconian “grinder” also brought the necessary perseverance, discipline and consistency. On the one hand, he had "the necessary authority to lead exceptional talents like Kuzorra and Szepan" and on the other hand "the vision of [forming] a collective from a collection of talents."
The connection between Schalke 04 and "Bumbes" Schmidt became a success story. The ambitious Schmidt ("rough but warm") suited the Schalke team. With him came the great success. From 1933/34 to 1937/38, the former Fürth and Nuremberg national player was the coach of the “Knappen” club. The result was five championships in the Gauliga, three German championship titles (1934, 1935, 1937), a third place in 1936 and the runner-up in 1938. After the cup final was lost in 1935 and 1936, the crowning glory was the double success in the 1936/37 season by winning the championship trophy and the Tschammer Cup. The daily training he directed was highly professional for the time; his demand on the players that one can only achieve the highest goals with discipline and intensive running work, was drawn from his many years of successful practice and less from theory about training theory and tactics. The emotional friend type, however, had the gift of being able to convey his convictions as a coach - albeit often "grumpy" and loudly in a commanding tone - to his players. His eye for talents and their further development - Walter Berg , Rudolf Gellesch , Hans Klodt , Ernst Poertgen , Otto Tibulsky and Adolf Urban made their debut in the national team in his coaching era - his success, his humor, but also his interest in the hard everyday life of workers in the Ruhrpott contributed to the fact that the special purpose association "Bumbes" Schmidt and Schalke 04 worked. The trade journal Fußball described the relationship in 1935 as follows:
“He has the trust of each of his protégés [...]. A seldom 'fine guy' whose humor and Bavarian style are very popular in Gelsenkirchen, especially since he understands his profession (and is also Kuzorra's best cigar customer). "
His work as a trainer is attributed to the fact that “the well-known Schalke spinning top game has not only become more precise, faster and more powerful, but has also developed into a real system. Until then it was more of a series of double passes, but now it has become a sophisticated tactic, extended to three and four secondary players ”.
"Bumbes" himself ascribes the gatherings in the parlor of "mother" Henriette Thiemeyer's restaurant at Schalker Markt - club bar and the real heart of the club, which had its office on the second floor - the growing Schalke sense of togetherness:
"We told jokes and sang folk songs and everyone who was there had the feeling that we were a big family."
After the surprising final defeat (3: 4 a.s.) against Hannover 96 in the replay for the German championship in 1938 - Schalke had lost a championship final for the first time since 1933 - Schmidt left Gelsenkirchen disappointed and took over VfR Mannheim in southern Germany . The Fürth no longer wanted. “I can't teach you more,” he is said to have said succinctly when he left. Bausenwein also cites the possibility that the coach was tired of the fact that only players like Fritz Szepan and Ernst Kuzorra were held responsible for the triumphs of the Royal Blues, but hardly any credit was attributed to him.
Mannheim and Nuremberg
With the blue-white-red lawn players "Bumbes" Schmidt underlined his skills as a trainer in the 1938/39 series in the Gauliga Baden . With 30: 6 points and eight points ahead of runner-up 1. FC Pforzheim , VfR won the Gaume Championship with the players Karl Vetter, Eugen Rößler, Philipp Rohr , Philipp Henninger, Anton Lutz and Karl Striebinger and moved into the final round of the German championship on. There the VfR had to do with SK Admira Vienna , Stuttgarter Kickers and SV Dessau 05 . On April 16, 1939, the Mannheimers suffered their first defeat of that year. At the Stuttgarter Kickers - with Erwin Deyhle , Edmund Conen , Albert Sing - the Schmidt-Elf lost the second group game with 2: 3 goals. This was evened out seven days later with a 3-0 home win against Admira Wien - with Peter Platzer , Toni Schall , Franz Hanreiter , Wilhelm Hahnemann - but the 4-1 home defeat in the second leg against the Stuttgarter Kickers with three Conen hits and the 3: 8 defeat in Vienna on the last group match day brought Admira the decision to advance. During the 1939/40 round, Schmidt was drafted into military service.
In autumn 1941 he took over the coaching position at 1. FC Nürnberg. Thanks to his skill in negotiating with the company commanders, he repeatedly succeeded in bringing players to the club and thus bringing a reasonably playable team onto the pitch. But he also discovered Franconian talents and built them into the team. On November 30, 1941, the then 16-year-old Max Morlock made his debut in the first at the game against FC Wacker Munich in the Bavarian division class. But he also built Helmut Herbolsheimer and Adolf Knoll into the club team. In the 1942/43 round, Schmidt and his team won the championship ahead of 1. FC Schweinfurt 05 and SpVgg Fürth in Gau Nordbayern with 40: 0 points and 125: 17 goals . On May 2, 1943, however, the club lost in the first preliminary round of the German championship with 1: 3 goals the home game against the champions of the Gauliga Baden, VfR Mannheim. During the war in 1943/44, the title could be defended in the Gau Northern Bavaria. The 12-1 win against runner-up 1. FC Bamberg was outstanding. The trips to the away games became more and more adventurous. "A trip to Schweinfurt caused more difficulties than a guest tour through half of Germany used to" complained in the club's field post letters.
In the 1944 finals, Schmidt and his team prevailed against NSTG Brüx (8: 0), VfR Mannheim (3: 2) and KSG Saarbrücken (5: 1) and only failed in the semifinals against defending champions Dresdner SC with a 1: 3 defeat in Erfurt. On February 2, 1945, one month after the devastating air raid on Nuremberg, the last club game before the end of the war was played against SpVgg Fürth. Thanks to Schmidt, the club had a strong first football team after the Second World War . The brothers Hans and Julius Uebelein , Robert Gebhardt , Georg Kennemann , Helmut Herbolsheimer, Konrad Winterstein and Max Morlock belonged to it. On September 17, 1945, the first post-war derby was held in the Ronhof. But under pressure from the Americans, “Bumbes” had to go; he had been a member of the NSDAP .
After the Second World War
At the prominent 1. FC Nürnberg, the ex-party member was no longer allowed, while at 1. FC Bamberg , which is only known regionally , Schmidt was able to exercise the coaching office. In Bamberg, he led the "Violets" in 1945/46 with the ex-Nürnbergers Erich Herder, Ernst Luther and Hans Schäfer as well as the ex-Dresden Fritz Machate in the Bavarian regional league before Jahn Regensburg and Wacker Munich to the championship and thus to promotion to football -Oberliga Süd . The departure of goal scorer Machate to FC St. Pauli could not be compensated for in the Oberliga Süd in 1946/47 and Bamberg was immediately relegated to the amateur camp as 18th. "Bumbes" remained coach in the upper league, took over Swabia Augsburg for the 1947/48 round and came in with the Fuggerstadt team in 11th place in the final classification. The Franconian did not stay in Augsburg any longer, he followed a call from Mannheim and again took over the local VfR for the top division round in 1948/49 .
"Bumbes" Schmidt and VfR started the season with a 3-3 draw on September 11, 1948 in the home game against 1. FC Nürnberg. After the "Canadians" de la Vigne, Jöckel, Henninger, Müller and Senck had strengthened VfR in the previous round, the players Fritz Bolleyer , Ernst Langlotz and Rudi Maier joined the blue-white-red team as newcomers from the stadium to the breweries. Due to its well-known and notorious fitness program - starts, sprints, improvement and endurance runs - and its strict adherence to discipline even outside the field (moderate consumption of alcohol, smoking bans, adequate sleep before the games), VfR took one after the fourth match day 0: 3 defeat at Schweinfurt 05 and 11th place with 4: 4 points - steadily increasing speed, defied the sovereign leaders Kickers Offenbach (10 games; 19: 1 points) on November 28, 1948 in the home game 1: 1 and was tied with 1860 and Bayern Munich to the contenders for second place in the south. In the second half of the season it was enough to score 1: 1 against the OFC on the Bieberer Berg. On matchday 30, VfR separated from their pursuers FC Bayern Munich once again with a 1: 1 and moved into the finals of the German championship as South German runner-up behind the superior champions from Offenbach (11 points ahead).
In the final round, Mannheim prevailed with a 5-0 victory in Frankfurt against the north champion Hamburger SV - with Walter Warning , Heinz Bung Bottle , Erwin Reinhardt , Heinz Werner , Edmund Adamkiewicz , Herbert Wojtkowiak - which was by no means expected then in the second round in front of 55,000 spectators in the Schalke Glückauf-Kampfbahn to throw the favorite Südmeister Kickers Offenbach out of the competition with a 2-1 win. The OFC had to compete without Horst Buhtz and had only been able to skip the previous hurdle Wormatia Worms 2-0 after a replay in Karlsruhe. The form curve was the opposite of the two southern German competitors: Offenbach had dominated the southern league in a superior manner, but did not come close to this top form in the final round. The "Bumbes" troop, on the other hand, was in top form in the finals. In the final, Schmidt and his Mannheimers met the West Champion Borussia Dortmund on July 10, 1949 in Stuttgart in front of 92,000 spectators. In the semifinals, the Westphalians also only eliminated 1. FC Kaiserslautern after two exhausting games in the replay. As the “almost unbearable temperatures” prevailed on the final day, physical endurance was of decisive importance after a long season. Dortmund led 1-0 for a long time and looked like the sure winner, but after Löttke equalized in the 74th minute, Baden succeeded in turning things around. The renewed lead from Erdmann (82nd) made up for Langlotz three minutes later, so that the decision had to be made in extra time. It was center forward Ernst Löttke who overcame the BVB defense for the third and decisive time in the 108th minute. VfR Mannheim was the second German champion after World War II and Schmidt celebrated his fourth championship title as a coach. The triumph without stars - apart from the technician, preparer and goal scorer Rudolf de la Vigne - was a late confirmation of the quality of the coaching work of the man from the Fürth-Nuremberg stronghold. He had led a team to the German championship that did not, as Schalke with the outstanding stars Ernst Kuzorra and Fritz Szepan attributed, won the title without a significant contribution from the coach. In Werner Skrentny's book about the Oberliga Süd, de la Vigne is cited with the following statement about Schmidt:
“A great guy with a very rough tone that we players who had all been in the Wehrmacht were familiar with. The younger players didn't understand him later. Before the final, he said to us: 'So, you A… holes, go in there and win!' We created the tactics ourselves, we knew how to play. "
Five months after winning the German championship, in December 1949, "Bumbes" Schmidt finished his work in Mannheim and returned to Nuremberg, where the "Club" ranked in the last third of the table after the first half of the 1949/50 season and was a "savior “Needed.
The club management justified the step with the knowledge of "Bumbes' unsurpassable abilities to train hard and his dynamic personality". In fact, the club reached eighth place in the table with the returnees at the end of the round. With a 4-0 home win against BC Augsburg Schmidt ended the round 1950/51 with 1. FC Nürnberg . He had won the championship in the Oberliga Süd and thus made it to the final round of the German championship. Max Morlock was the top scorer in the southern league with 28 goals.
In group II of the final round , the club developed a duel against Prussia Münster. Before the last group match day on June 10, 1951, the opponents had the same score with 6: 4 points each, and the club led the group with the slightly better goal difference. "Bumbe's" team won the last game in the Zabo against Hamburger SV with 4: 1 and seemed to be in the final, because Tennis Borussia led at halftime against the Prussians 2: 1. With the final result of 8: 2 for Münster, however, the tied Nürnberger failed to reach the final. In the event of a tie, the division procedure counted, goals scored divided by goals conceded. Münster had a goal quotient of 1.375 at 22:16 goals, the club only one of 1.308 at 17:13. Almost seven hundredths decided whether to participate in the final. The totally angry Schmidt resigned his contract after the protest rejected by the DFB, moved back to the West and took over the coaching position at Borussia Dortmund.
At Borsigplatz, in his first year as a coach, 1951/52, the emigrated game designer and goalscorer Alfred Preißler , who was still active at last year's runner-up in Münster, was missing. The man from Nuremberg built the returnee Herbert Sandmann back into the BVB team and helped the newcomer Alfred Niepieklo to make a successful debut in the league with his 19 goals. In his second year in Dortmund, 1952/53 , he won the championship in the Oberliga West with BVB - Heinrich Kwiatkowski came for the goal and Preißler had returned from Münster - and once again made it to the finals with a team he had trained on. But now, despite all the experience, luck had left him. It went for him and BVB like it did with Nuremberg two years earlier. Dortmund ended the group games with 10-2 points. The only defeat suffered the Schmidt-Elf against VfB Stuttgart, which also showed 10: 2 points in the final account. The goal difference was also identical at 17: 7 (BVB) and 16: 6 (VfB). Due to the division procedure, however, the VfB Stuttgart team trained by Georg Wurzer qualified for the final with a 0.238 goal improvement. In the two following rounds it was no longer enough for Schmidt with Dortmund to make it into the final round. By installing the players Helmut Kapitulski , Alfred Kelbassa and Wolfgang Peters , he laid the foundation for the championships of 1956 and 1957, at least in terms of personnel.
The senior coach moved back to his Franconian homeland in 1955 after four years in Dortmund , he succeeded Wilhelm Hahnemann at SpVgg Fürth for the 1955/56 round in the Oberliga Süd. The frequent absence of goalkeeper Gerhard Geissler (6-0) and defender Herbert Erhardt (16-2) meant that his return to the "clover leaf" was linked to the relegation battle. Despite the top performers Max Appis , Richard Gottinger and Karl Mai , he only finished 13th with the game association. The momentum of the surprisingly clear 7: 2 away win at the 175th derby on October 1, 1956 against 1. FC Nürnberg reached 6th place in the table at the end of the round in 1956/57. In front of 26,000 spectators, the cloverleaf also won a point in the second leg on February 17, 1957 with a 2-2 draw against eventual southern champions 1. FC Nürnberg. After the 7-2 victory in Nuremberg, Schmidt was given a well-known quote, because since he was still a Nuremberg fan, he commented on the home defeat of 1. FC Nuremberg against his Fürth with the words: "The tears came to my eyes, how they played! And, of all people, the idiots from Fürth win! "
After two years of engagement with his home club SpVgg Fürth, the Franconian returned to the Oberliga Süd as a coach for the 1958/59 round, taking over the blue-white-reds from VfR Mannheim. He succeeded Hans Merkle , who had moved to SSV Reutlingen . Striker Ernst-Otto Meyer stormed from the field to the breweries again for the team, with Hans Benzler a new goalkeeper from Beckum had come to the lawn players, and local rival SV Waldhof had made it to the top division. But VfR still relied on the three master players of 1949 - Kurt Keuerleber , Ernst Langlotz , Rudolf de la Vigne . The long-time stopper and defense chief Keuerleber was only able to play one league game due to illness and injury, with de la Vigne (15-3) and Langlotz (17-6), on the other hand, the senior coach was able to initiate the restructuring of the team. "Ötti" Meyer's 27 goals helped decisively in reaching 8th place in the table. A highlight for coach, team and club was the friendly game on December 21, 1958 in front of 75,000 spectators at FC Barcelona. “Barca” won with the internal trio László Kubala , Evaristo and Sándor Kocsis with 3-0 goals. Schmidt lost the last second round match with VfR on May 10, 1959 against the southern champions Eintracht Frankfurt with 1: 3 goals. On May 31, the semi-finals of the South German Cup in Konstanz against TSV Munich 1860 were played. The Mannheimers prevailed with 2: 1 goals. Schmidt went into the 1959/60 season without the three long-time top performers Keuerleber, Langlotz and de la Vigne, who had ended their careers for reasons of age. On September 6, the South German Cup final took place in the Wildpark Stadium in Karlsruhe against Eintracht Frankfurt , which won the German championship on June 28 . Schmidt celebrated his last title win with a 1-0 win. Because of his bad health, a medical veto was against the further training activity, he asked the VfR board at the end of September / beginning of October 1959 for early release from his contract because the time of his possible return to the field could not be foreseen. The former youth coach and long-time league player of the VfR, Philipp Rohr , took over from "Bumbes" Schmidt at the end of September 1959.
The pensioner then gradually ended his coaching career in the amateur area at Jahn Regensburg and TV Pfronten in the Allgäu. In the 1960s he was still working as a coach at FC Bayern Kickers 1907 Nuremberg.
Schmidt, who worked as a commercial clerk in the toy industry during his gaming activities at SpVgg Fürth - he had earned his money as an innkeeper at the "Club" - spent his retirement as an accomplished card player with his friends from former times mainly in his regular cafe "Vaterland" Wuerttemberg card game binoculars . The legendary coach died tragically on January 31, 1971. Together with his 82-year-old sister, the 77-year-old was found dead in his apartment - apparently the tap on the roasting tube had been accidentally opened while operating the gas stove.

Football under the swastika
Not only in Schulze-Marmeling's publication The tame football , the era of success of FC Schalke 04 in the years 1934 to 1942 is expressly listed as the “most famous example” of the appropriation of top athletes from the workforce by the Nazi regime; In the contribution by Christoph Bausenwein in the coaching book Strategists of the Game , connections between Schmidt's personality traits, his obligation as coach of Schalke 04 and Hitler's seizure of power in 1933 are indicated. It is stated, “If the aim was to find a coach who could convey to his players the National Socialist man's ideal of willingness to fight and sacrifice for his neighbor, his homeland, people and fatherland, then Bumbes Schmidt was certainly not the wrong one Choice made ”. But it remains with allusions. The fact is that Hans Schmidt became a member of the NSDAP on May 1, 1937, at the same time as his master players Hans Bornemann, Ernst Kuzorra and Fritz Szepan. There was no NSDAP membership at the time of his engagement as Schalke trainer in 1933. In the round of 1936/37 Schmidt won the double with Schalke and thus, like Bornemann, Kuzorra and Szepan, fell under the group of people "who had made themselves useful to the party" and thus after the loosening of the membership ban on April 20, 1937 the party could be included. The statement in the club book Die Legende vom Club is clear that Schmidt, after the first post-war derby on September 17, 1945, had to go against Fürth, under pressure from the Americans, because he was a member of the NSDAP. In the extensive presentation and analysis of football in the Nazi era, swastika and round leather from 2008, the name of Hans Schmidt does not appear in the register of persons (pp. 598–606).
Oddities
Hans Schmidt got his nickname Bumbes because as a schoolboy he was allegedly bumped so hard by an opponent that he flew in a high arc across the square. Whereupon one of the audience shouted: “Look ner den klann Bumbes oh!” - “Little Bumbes” means “little fart” in the Franconian dialect .
