Hans Studener
Hans Studener (born March 2, 1919 in Langenbruch ; † February 6, 2002 ) was a German soccer player in Hamborn and soccer coach, among other things, in the GDR upper league and in the GDR's soccer team .
Life
Studener's football career began at the age of 14 at Hamborn 07 in the Rhineland . There he played in midfield and won the German youth championship in 1937. From 1940 to 1945 the Second World War interrupted Studener's football activities. After the end of the war, he settled in Wurzen , Saxony , where he played football again at Empor Wurzen and most recently acted as player-coach. In 1952 he became Saxon national champion with Empor Wurzen and advanced to the semi-finals in the GDR soccer cup . He was used several times in the Saxon state selection.
At the beginning of the football season in 1957, his full-time coaching activity began, initially with the league club SC Rotation Leipzig . After a third place in his first season, Leipzig fell back to 11th place in the league a year later and Studener was dismissed from SC Rotation. From 1959 to 1961 he worked at the Leipzig Sports University DHfK in the research and training section. Then the GDR Football Association hired him as a coach, and he was temporarily assistant to national coach Károly Sós . In 1964 he assumed sole responsibility for the GDR's Olympic soccer team, with which he won bronze in Tokyo. When he was then supposed to build a new Olympic team, it came to a falling out with Sós, whereupon Studener left the football association in early 1966.
He returned to the league and to his old club, which had meanwhile been converted into 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig . On May 15, 1966, he took over a team that had in the meantime developed into a top team in the league and with Horst Weigang , Manfred Geisler and Henning Frenzel had three current national players and in which Wolfram Löwe , Dieter Engelhardt , Michael Faber and Hans- Jürgen Naumann had another four talents who were about to join the national team. The 3-1 victory of his team in the round of 16 of the European Exhibition Cup 1966/67 over the top European team Benfica Lisbon was spectacular . In the same season, Studener Lok led Leipzig to the runner-up, it was the best result in the history of the club. After that, however, the team fell rapidly and rose from the league in 1969.
Then Studener moved as an assistant coach alongside Manfred Fuchs to the league promoted Stahl Eisenhüttenstadt . However, both failed to secure relegation, so Eisenhüttenstadt was relegated again in the summer of 1970. The team management had succeeded in engaging both the squad and the coach for the following GDR league season in order to aim for promotion. But after two point games, Stahl Eisenhüttenstadt was surprisingly downgraded to the third-class district league due to financial manipulation , several players, officials and the two coaches were suspended . Studener was banned from any coaching activity for two years. From 1975 until he retired in 1985, he worked in the scientific center of the GDR football association.
In addition to his practical work in football, Studener was also known as the author of several specialist football books.
