career

Wormatia Worms, until 1963

The striker, who came to Wormatia from SV Horchheim, came in his first round Oberliga Südwest , 1962/63, on 24 missions and scored 18 goals. Wormatia Worms took fourth place in the last round of the first-class league in the southwest. At the side of goalkeeper Srbeljub Krivokuca and attacking players Walter Dächert and Reinhold Straus , he scored the same number with his 18 goals as Johannes Löhr for Sportfreunde Saarbrücken . He played his first league game on September 16, 1962 in the home game against Ludwigshafener SC . In the 3-3 draw, he scored two goals.

Since he did not yet have a contract player status with Wormatia, the then responsible DFB coach for the German national soccer team , Helmut Schön , used him twice in the amateur national team in the spring of 1963. His first appearance on April 13 ended with a 2-1 defeat in Alassio against Italy. In the second game, on June 5 in victories against Japan, he contributed two goals to the 4-0 success of the DFB amateurs. For the 1963/64 round he signed a licensed player contract with 1. FC Kaiserslautern and moved to Betzenberg.

1. FC Kaiserslautern, 1963 to 1967

Harald Braner is one of the players who saw the premier Bundesliga game on Saturday, August 24, 1963, on the pitch. He was the left winger in the starting line-up of the “Red Devils”, who drew 1-1 at Eintracht Frankfurt . In the first three seasons Kaiserslautern fought permanently to stay in the league and Braner's scoring eight goals could not make the way forward in the table. With 59 missions he was still part of the regular formation. In his fourth round in Kaiserslautern, 1966/67 , coach Gyula Lóránt led the former Walter team to fifth place. The ex-Wormser was in 29 games with four hits in action.

SSV Reutlingen, VfL Osnabrück, Wormatia Worms, 1967 to 1974

At the age of 24, Braner took a step back in terms of sport in the summer of 1967 and moved to SSV Reutlingen in the Regionalliga Süd . In the first round in the stadium at the Kreuzeiche with the 3rd place the entry into the Bundesliga promotion round was just missed. When the SSV dropped to 9th place in the second year, Braner ended his engagement in Reutlingen after two rounds with 61 appearances and 24 goals and signed with VfL Osnabrück in the Regionalliga Nord . This was followed in Osnabrück in 1970 and 1971 by winning the championship twice in the north and thus also entering the Bundesliga promotion round. Braner, who ran a tobacco shop on Seminarstrasse in Osnabrück, made 52 regional league appearances with 20 goals at VfL. After two rounds he moved from the "Bremer Brücke" back to his home in Worms in the Regionalliga Südwest . In his third season with Wormatia, 1973/74, he suffered a sixfold broken leg in the eighth minute of the game at Sportfreunde Eisbachtal on January 13, 1974 and was therefore unable to play a point game for Worms until the end of the contract in June 1975. In the southwest he has 71 regional league appearances with 13 hits. Overall, Harald Braner came from 1967 to 1974 in 184 regional league games with 57 goals.

Player-coach in the amateur field

From 1976 he worked as a player-coach at FV Weinheim in the amateur league of North Baden and later as a coach in the amateur league of Baden-Württemberg. As a player coach, he was also active at SV Schriesheim, TuS Göllheim and SC Bobenheim-Roxheim.

Trainer

As a trainer he worked for the clubs TuS Landstuhl , FC Homburg (July to August 1980), Wormatia Worms (March to October 1993) and the B-Juniors of 1. FC Kaiserslautern .

In addition to football

After the end of his football career, Harald Braner began working as a self-employed insurance salesman for Signal-Iduna in Worms. He has since given up a newsagents shop with a Toto Lotto acceptance point.

He sees a “new mission in life” in his commitment to Aid India.
