Heinz Wagner (soccer player)
Heinz Wagner (born January 9, 1921 , † 1993 ) was a German football player. In the 1950s he played with the BSG Einheit Ost Leipzig in the GDR Oberliga , the top division in GDR football .
Athletic career
Until 1951, Heinz Wagner played in the company sports club (BSG) Stahl Markranstädt in the third-class state class of Saxony . For the 1951/52 season, the 30-year-old striker moved to the second-rate GDR league club BSG Einheit Ost Leipzig. He used him in eleven matches of the 22 point games played, with Wagner scoring eight goals. In the 1952/53 season Wagner was instrumental in the rise of the BSG Einheit Ost in the GDR league. He was called up in all 24 league games and became the team's top scorer with 16 goals.
In his first league season, Wagner was still part of the Leipzig team because he was missing only four times in 28 point games and was again the top scorer with seven goals, this time together with his strike partner Wolfgang Pröhl . The league season 1954/55 began Wagner with inserts in the first six point games and had already entered the scorers of the BSG unit east again with one hit. When the soccer section of the BSG was incorporated into the newly founded Rotation Leipzig sports club in November 1954, Wagner was one of the players who did not make the move.
With his teammates Karl Braunert and Kurt Lehmann , he joined the GDR league team of the BSG Rotation Leipzig Northeast . In the second half of the 1954/55 league season he was used in twelve point games and scored four goals. At the end of the season rotation NO had to relegate to the new third-class II. GDR league . For the 34-year-old Wagner this meant the end of his career in high-class football. There he had played 30 league games with eight goals and 47 GDR league appearances with 28 goals in four seasons.
