Heinrich Hergert received his first appointment to the national soccer team for the international match on May 4, 1930 in Zurich against the Swiss national team . After winning the first title with the FKP in the Rhein / Saar district and the finals for the southern German championship in 1930, the dynamic, tough and hard-working development player Reich trainer Otto Nerz caught the eye.
