Heinz Warnken (born December 28, 1912 in Bremen , † 1943) was a German football player .

Career

societies

Warnken, who grew up in Buntentor , joined the football department of VfB Komet Bremen in 1928 at the age of 15 and moved up to the first team two years later, not yet 18 years old. In this he played from 1930 to 1933 as a center forward in the North German Football Association in the regional top division, the Oberliga Weser-Jade . He won this with his team at the end of the 1931/32 season and qualified for the finals for the North German championship . In Group II , he and his team missed the finals due to the poorer goal quotient compared to Altona 93 . So it happened to him in the following season as third place.

In the Gauliga Nordmark , one of 16 Gauligen at the time of National Socialism , as the uniform top division in the German Reich , he was not represented with his team, for which he now played as a middle runner.

Drafted for military service and last active for his club in 1942, he died in 1943 in World War II .

Selection / national team

After four appointments to Bremen's city selection, Reich trainer Otto Nerz became aware of Warnken in autumn 1935, who was then invited to a DFB course in Duisburg and was not called up in the training games as a middle runner, but as a left wing runner. As such, he completed his only international match for the senior national team in Leipzig on October 20, 1935 , which won 4-2 against the Bulgarian national team . Before that, on September 15 against Estonia and on October 13 against Latvia, he was a substitute for the national team.

Others
