Heinrich Schaffer

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heinrich Schaffer (born December 16, 1917 ; †) was a German football player who played an international match for what was then Czechoslovakia in 1938 . With the Dresdner SC he was twice German soccer champion and twice cup winner.

Schaffer grew up in Teplitz in northern Bohemia and played for Teplitzer FK from 1932 to 1938 , most recently in the highest Czechoslovak soccer league. On April 3, 1938 he made his debut - like his Teplitz club colleague Heiner Kugler - in the 0: 4 in Basel against Switzerland in the Czechoslovak national team.

At the beginning of the 1938/39 season, Schaffer moved to Dresdner SC in the Gauliga Sachsen , one of the 18 highest football classes in Germany at the time. The striker Schaffer won the Gaume Championship with the Dresden team and then took part in the final round of the German Championship. He was used in all nine final round matches and won 3rd place with his team after a 3-2 win over Hamburger SV. Schaffer scored four goals in the finals. Between 1939 and 1944 Schaffer was five times Saxon champion with the Dresdner SC and took part in the respective finals of the German championship. In 1940 he reached the final, in which he was called up as a center forward, but the Dresden team were defeated by Schalke 04 0-1. In 1943 the Dresden team reached the final again. With Schaffer on the right side of the storm, DSC won their first German championship after a 3-0 victory over FV Saarbrücken. This success was repeated a year later. Schaffer was used in all five final round matches and scored two goals in a 4-0 win in the final against LSV Hamburg.

Schaffer was twice in the final of the Tschammer Cup with Dresdner SC . On December 1, 1940 , the final was DSC - 1. FC Nuremberg. With Schaffer as a right half-forward, Dresden won 2-1, Schaffer scored the winning goal in the 94th minute. A year later, on November 2, 1941 , the DSC defended the cup with a 2-1 victory over Schalke 04. Schaffer played again on the half-right side of the storm.

After the end of the Second World War, Schaffer moved to Hamburg and joined FC St. Pauli . From 1947 onwards, he again took part in national football matches, and was runner-up in the Oberliga Nord and the British Zone in 1948 . With that he had qualified for the final round of the German championship, for Schaffer this meant the sixth final round participation. This final round began with the quarter-finals, which St. Pauli won 7-0 over Union Oberschöneweide, with Schaffer scoring three goals as a half-right striker. Schaffer was still part of the FC St. Pauli squad in the 1948/49 season, which was again runner-up in North Germany. In the following five final round games of the German Championship, however, Schaffer was no longer used.

In the summer of 1949, at the age of 32, he moved to SSV Wuppertal , where his former Dresden teammate Herbert Pohl acted as player- coach from 1950 and other former Dresden and St. Paulians were under contract with Keßler, Werner and Michael. Schaffer played there in the 1950/51 season in the 2nd League West , later in amateur football at SC Sonnborn 07 and Blau-Gelb Barmen , then his track is lost.
