from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hans Schmidt (born November 2, 1887 ; † July 9, 1916 ) was a German football player who was active as a right wing striker for BFC Germania 1888 from 1896 to 1915 and had played an international match for the senior national team .

Career

societies

Schmidt learned to play football as a student at BFC Germania , which was founded in 1888, and in 1905 moved up to the first team that had been promoted to the first division after a year of abstinence. In the Association of Berlin Ball Game Clubs , he was used in games for the Berlin championship until 1911. In the 1907/08 season Schmidt reached the semifinals of the Berlin Cup with Germania , but that was lost 7-2 to Viktoria 89 . From the 1911/12 season onwards , the Berlin championship was held in the Association of Brandenburgischer Ballspielvereine (VBB), under which the Berlin football clubs that had previously played in various associations were united. After his team was able to prevail in the qualification for participation in the Berlin championship, at the end of the season with the penultimate place in the table in Group A, relegation to the 2nd class was certain.

The right winger of the Berlin football pioneer Germania 88 played for years in the Black-White-Reds with goalkeeper Fritz Baumgarten , who defended the DFB goal in the DFB's debut international match on April 5, 1908 in Basel against Switzerland.

The Germanic player, who professionally worked as a merchant, completed two seasons in this division before he was drafted as a soldier and fell in the First World War . He shared the fate of a total of 43 other Germania club players.

National team

Schmidt made his debut in the jersey of the senior national team on June 7, 1908 in Vienna against the national team of Austria in a 2: 3 defeat. Although he had to accept the third defeat with the team in only the third international match under the umbrella organization of the DFB , he offered a good performance on the right wing. With Paul Eichelmann , Willy Tänzer and Ernst Poetsch , three other Berliners competed in Vienna. Adolf Jäger , the legend from Altona, also made his debut and immediately distinguished himself as a goalscorer. Austria already had stars of this era in its ranks in Adolf Fischera , Ladislaus Kurpiel and Johann Studnicka .

Nevertheless, there were no further appearances in the national team, as his club was no longer in the top division of Berlin from 1912.
