Heinz Stemmer

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heinz Stemmer (born January 11, 1921 ) is a former German football player who competed for various clubs from the Ruhr area and its surroundings during and after the Second World War . He took part in the Tschammerpokal several times and played in the Oberliga West in the early 1950s .

Career

Football player during the first years of the war (1939–1943)

Stemmer career began at the sports club West End from the Duisburg district of Hamborn . The team was part of the Gauliga Niederrhein , which was the highest achievable league during the Nazi era. At national level, the team was allowed to compete in the Tschammer Cup - the predecessor of the DFB Cup. The then 18-year-old striker made his debut on August 20, 1939 in the first round match against VfR Mannheim in this competition. The Hamborner were able to prevail in extra time with 3-2 and survived the next round without his participation, so that they met Hamburger SV in the round of 16 . In this away meeting in December 1939 he was called up and suffered a 2-0 defeat against HSV.

In 1940 he switched to the league rival and reigning Niederrheinmeister Fortuna Düsseldorf , with whom he clearly missed a title defense and was only barely removed from the relegation ranks. For the 1941/42 season he went to Viktoria Stolp in far-away Pomerania - it is unclear whether he might have come there as a soldier - and took part in the Gauliga Pomerania game with this club, with the team ultimately becoming runner-up. Stolp also played for the Tschammer Cup, but was eliminated in the second round. In 1942 he returned to Westende Hamborn, which had returned to the Gauliga Niederrhein after relegation the previous year. In the meanwhile clearly affected by the war, his team made it to the round of 16 in the cup competition, while they even won the championship in the Gauliga in the 1942/43 season. In the war year 1943 Stemmer had won his first title. The game was then continued and only stopped during the final phase of the war, but no further deployment dates are known for Stemmer after 1943.

First and second division player at various clubs (after 1945)

Already in the first post-war 1945/46 season Stemmer could pursue playing football again and joined together with his former teammates Hamborner Theodor and Heinrich Kreienberg the Meidericher SV in Duisburg. The game was initially only held at the local level, with the Duisburg city championship winning in 1946. In 1947 the Oberliga West was created as the highest division in the western region of Germany; it remained the first division until the Bundesliga was introduced in 1963. Meiderich did not belong to the upper league at first and had to compete in the Lower Rhine regional league. In 1949 the qualification for the 2nd League West was successful , which was newly created as a substructure for the Oberliga. Stemmer took a regular place in the new league, but missed a possible promotion to the top class with his team in 1949/50 as fourth place. Under coach Willi Multhaup and alongside teammates like Karl Hetzel and Kurt Neumann, he had completed 28 league games and scored one goal. At the beginning of the following 1950/51 season, he played four games for MSV before moving to league rivals Black and White Essen . While the Meidericher in 1951 made a sovereign rise, Stemmer's team managed to move into a relegation round, in which they also secured qualification for the league. On the way there, Stemmer had scored all five goals in an encounter against Hombrucher FV 09 in the 5-0 victory of Black and White and thus became the club's record goal scorer with the most hits in a competitive game. For Essen he scored 33 goals in 28 league appearances, leading the list of goalscorers in the 2nd West League, Group 1, ahead of Karl Hetzel (MSV, 27 goals).

The team started their first league season in the 1951/52 season and after Stemmer had missed the two opening games, he made his debut in the top division on September 2, 1951 in a 1-1 draw against Bayer 04 Leverkusen . He scored the equalizer in the 68th minute. After the relegation achieved - Stemmer had scored six goals for ETB in 15 league games - he left Schwarz-Weiß Essen in 1952 and joined the league competitor Preußen Münster . He belonged to the team around national player Felix Gerritzen for the duration of the 1952/53 season and reached seventh place in the table with her. Under coach Willi Multhaup , he played eight league games and scored five goals.

After leaving Münster, he went to the Sportfreunde Katernberg, who had previously been relegated from the Oberliga West, and with them remained relatively far from a possible rise again. Personally, however, he had a successful round with 27 association games and 24 goals. Teammate Kurt Carel also contributed 25 goals to the 82 goals scored by Sportfreunde in 1953/54 in the 2nd West League - most of the league . The penalty specialist, known for his dangerousness in scoring, also left this club after a year and signed in 1954 at the age of 33 with second division rivals VfB Bottrop , for whom he was still used for a certain period of time. In Bottrop he met coach Multhaup again and reached third place with VfB behind the league promoters Wuppertaler SV and Sportfreunde Hamborn 07. The senior had again scored eleven goals in 15 second division matches. In his last year in the 2nd League West near Bottrop, 1955/56, VfB again took third place and Stemmer had scored five goals in six games.

At the beginning of the 1960s, he was a member of the senior team of his former club Meidericher SV at the side of several former league players.
