career

Gauliga, until 1944

The student Heinz Lehmann started playing soccer as a youth player at Wacker 04 Berlin . In the 1940/41 season he was a member of the championship team of Tennis Borussia Berlin in the Gauliga Berlin-Brandenburg . The fast striker came on April 11, 1941 in the 3-1 home win against NSTG Prague for the first time in the final round of the German football championship in the "Veilchen" team. In the World Cup system at that time , he stormed the right wing at the side of center forward "Hanne" Berndt . When he was called up to the Air Force in World War II, he was active in the war years 1942 and 1943 for the "Fliegerelf" from the Pütnitz air base near Ribnitz-Damgarten for the local LSV in the Gauliga Pomerania .

In the Tschammer Cup his use is noted on August 30, 1942 in the 1: 4 defeat against LSV Stettin , as well as in the competition in 1943 with the two games against SV Viktoria Elbing, where he scored three goals as a center forward in the 7: 0 success and in the 2: 3 defeat against the Luftwaffen-Sportverein Hamburg , where he is again listed as a goalscorer against the prominent defensive team of the later finalists around Willy Juerissen , Karl Miller and Reinhold Münzenberg . With the Gauliga champion of Pomerania, he also took part in the games for the German championship in 1943. The first game on May 2 ended 2-2 after extra time against Berliner SV 92 . "Tute" Lehmann scored a goal against national goalkeeper Helmut Jahn . Eight days later, the BSV 92 prevailed in the replay with 2-0 goals in Stettin in front of 10,000 spectators against Pütnitz.

Oberliga Nord, 1947 to 1952

After the Second World War, "Tute" Lehmann came, as did Hans Appel from Berlin and the ex-Dresdeners Walter Dzur , Heinz Hempel , Heinrich Schaffer , Fritz Machate (via Bamberg), as well as Rolf Börner (from Riesa) and Josef Famula from Beuthen 09 to Hamburg, to FC St. Pauli. Karl Miller , the 12-time national player from the war years at Dresdner SC and LSV Hamburg, was able to lure former colleagues from Dresden and a few other top players from Berlin and the rest of the East to the Elbe with a simple method after the end of World War II : Free and plentiful food through Father Miller's butcher's shop. A convincing argument in the post-war period, when many people were starving.

Immediately after the end of World War II , the championship was played in a Hamburg city league. In 1946 St. Pauli was runner-up (21: 3) one point behind Hamburger SV with 22: 2 points. The top game ended goalless 0-0 on May 5, 1946 in front of 23,000 spectators. At the first city game after the Second World War on April 14, 1946 at Rothenbaum, Hamburg against the Lower Rhine, "Tute" Lehmann scored the winning goal to make it 2-1 for the Hamburg selection after preliminary work by Hans Appel. In the 1946/47 season, the men around Appel, Dzur, Miller and Lehmann were champions with 37: 7 versus 34:10 points for HSV. The "Rothosen" won the Braun-Whites from Heiligengeistfeld on November 3, 1946 with 3-2 goals, the home game ended on March 30, 1947 with a 2-2 draw. The first round of the Oberliga Nord in 1947/48 ended with Hamburger SV and St. Pauli tied with 37: 7 points at the top of the table. The fast and dangerous Lehmann scored 19 goals and thus led the internal goalscorer list in front of Schaffer (17), Machate (13) and Börner (12). The away games were won by both teams; Lehmann was the goalscorer for the 1-0 victory on March 21, 1948 at HSV. On May 2, 1948, HSV prevailed with a 2-1 victory in the playoff for the championship in front of 30,000 spectators in the Hoheluft stadium . The St. Pauli attack was started with Börner, Machate, Lehmann, Schaffer and Hermann Michael . “Tute” Lehmann was the runner-up's goal scorer. In the games for the British Zone Championship , Lehmann and colleagues prevailed against STV Horst-Emscher (3: 1) and in two games in the semi-finals against Borussia Dortmund. In the final on June 13, the champions and runner-up of the Northern League faced each other. HSV prevailed again, now with a clear 6: 1 success. In the final round of the German football championship , the first St. Pauli opponent was the SG Union Oberschöneweide in front of 70,000 spectators in the Berlin Olympic Stadium on July 18th . In the 7-0 success, Lehmann scored a goal in the center forward position. On July 25, the semi-final match in Mannheim against 1. FC Nürnberg ended with a 2-3 defeat after extra time. Lehmann had a hit against the future German champions in the duels against the "Club" stopper Georg Kennemann .

The team called the “miracle team” with the Dresdeners and other newcomers from the East was one of the best soccer teams in Germany in the mid / late 1940s - they were even considered to be the technically best team in the country. For "Tute" Lehmann, the time with the Braun-Whites was over after the 1949/50 season - the last two years he was only used sporadically - after a total of 33 compulsory league games with 22 goals. He joined Altona 93 for round 1950/51.

At the side of Werner Erb and Reinhold Jackstell , the man from Berlin scored five goals in 16 league games and the AFC was relegated to the Hamburg amateur camp in 15th place. In the 3-6 defeat after a 2-0 half-time lead on March 3, 1951 at Hamburger SV, Lehmann scored two goals on the right wing. The attacker spent his last league year in the 1951/52 season at Bremerhaven 93, where he had played briefly as a soldier during the Second World War. The "Zolli" -Elf added another 24 league appearances with 13 goals. The team around Werner Lang and Wilfried Kapteina reached eighth place with 33:27 points. In the 9: 4 home win on April 13, 1952 against Eintracht Braunschweig, "Tute" Lehmann completed his last league game in the center forward position and scored two goals.

At FC Grün-Weiß 07 Hamburg , he played for years in the amateur field from the 1952/53 season. According to Knieriem / Grüner, he is said to have received his nickname "Tute" in reference to his even more successful father Bruno "Tute" Lehmann - German champion in 1930 and 1931 with Hertha BSC and Federal Cup winner in 1928 and 1929.
