Athletic career

Club career

Even before the attacker made the jump from the junior league team of FC Vorwärts Frankfurt / Oder to the league squad in the summer of 1980 , the former NVA soldier had made his debut in the top division of the GDR. Gramenz, who had just turned 19, scored the winning goal on matchday 11 of the 1979/80 season when the army footballers won 1-0 away at FC Rot-Weiß Erfurt a few minutes after being substituted on. The GDR soccer newspaper "fuwo" described his first goal on December 1, 1979 as follows: " The debutant played a big part in this when, after clever preparatory work by Jarmuszkiewicz, he carefully lifted the ball over Benkert . It was only in the game for twelve minutes. " In his second league match, a 4-1 defeat at Dynamo Dresden at the beginning of the second half of the season, he was able to celebrate a goal of his own, but remained without another goal in the remaining six appearances of the season.

Until his last league appearances in March 1987 for FCV and the first games for BSG Motor Babelsberg in December of the same year in the second-rate league , the striker, who was last served as a sergeant major, had a total of 100 appearances in the East German upper house, in which he scored 25 goals. In six European Cup games for FC Vorwärts, who qualified four times for the UEFA Cup between 1980/81 and 1984/85 , he could not shine as a goalscorer. From the mid- 1980s onwards , Gramenz was used more and more frequently in the 2nd team of the Frankfurt soccer club, to which he had been a member since 1974.

Two years later, Harald Gramenz moved up to the DFV's junior team . The year around the FCV player failed as the reigning vice European champion already in the group stage of the U21 European Championship qualification in 1982 .

In the GDR Olympic selection , Harald Gramenz played two games, both of which were part of the qualifying round for the Games in Los Angeles . Against Denmark and Finland, the team of coach Bernd Stange , who had qualified for the final tournament but could not start due to the boycott by the GDR , celebrated two important away wins in May 1983. The FCV attacker scored a goal in both matches, both as a substitute from the bench, for the East Germans in Aarhus and Kokkola .
