from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heinz Wozniakowski (born December 24, 1924 in Breslau ; † May 14, 1964 ) was a German football player who played 156 games with 70 goals in the GDR Oberliga or Oberliga Nord from 1949 to 1957.

career

Fortuna / KWU / Turbine Erfurt, 1949 to 1951

Heinz Wozniakowski's career began in Lower Silesia at the Breslauer FV 06 , where he was appointed to the Lower Silesian youth team in 1942. After the war he played in Glauchau and Vorwärts Mühlhausen (Thuringia).

In March 1950, the agile and fast striker came to KWU Erfurt . In the association round 1949/50 he played five more games for Erfurt and scored five goals. KWU (later Turbine) took fourth place. "Woz" was immediately appointed to selection teams. On April 23, 1950, coach Fred Schulz used him as a center forward in a GDR selection in the game against Saxony. In May 1950 he took part in a selection course in Bad Elster , during which a test match between DDR-A and DDR-B took place on May 14 and ended with a sensational 7-1 success for the B selection. The ex-Breslauer acted as a center forward in the A-team and scored the consolation goal for them . On June 25th, he represented the colors of Thuringia in the game against the Saxony selection. In the 1950/51 season, Turbine Erfurt took first place in the DS-Oberliga with 50:18 points each, together with Chemie Leipzig . "Woz" had played 29 games with eight goals. The decider on May 20, 1951 won Leipzig in front of 60,000 spectators in Chemnitz with 2: 0 goals. Winfried Herz and Heinz Wozniakowski could not fully compensate for the lack of the two other top performers Nitsche and Nordhaus. In the preliminary round of the 1951/52 series Wozniakowski completed 16 games for Turbine Erfurt and in December 1951 moved with Winfried Herz and the Thalenser Werner Oberländer to the west (football: north) to Eintracht Braunschweig . From 1949 to 1951 he had played 49 games in the upper league for Erfurt, scoring 20 goals and taking part in the final of the 1951 GDR championship.

Eintracht Braunschweig, 1952 to 1958

The contract player statute excluded the participation of newcomers during the current season in the league. Nevertheless, Eintracht Wozniakowski and the two other newcomers immediately started on January 6, 1952 in the away game in the Oberliga Nord at Göttingen 05 . The game ended with a 1: 4 defeat for Braunschweig and was rated with this result, but the ex-GDR players (goalkeeper Heinz Senftleben from Erfurt had also come from Erfurt ) were not considered until the end of the round. Since the Lower Saxony were subjected to a forced relegation after the association round because of suspected manipulation, Wozniakowski had to play against VfV Hildesheim, TuS Celle, MTV Braunschweig, 07 Linden, TSV Goslar 08, Teutonia Uelzen and not against Hamburg in 1952/53 in the Lower Saxony East Amateur League SV and Werder Bremen play for the points. The championship was won with 123: 39 goals and 54:10 points and thus made it into the promotion round to the Oberliga Nord. The opponents ASV Bergedorf 85 , VfL Wolfsburg and VfR Neumünster had no chance there either. Braunschweig immediately returned to the Oberliga Nord in 1952/53. National coach Sepp Herberger invited Wozniakowski in May 1953 to a DFB training course with games against the English professional team Bolton Wanderers . In Berlin and Düsseldorf, the half-forward ran in two encounters against Bolton in a DFB selection. On June 4, the DFB selection in Augsburg also competed against southern Germany. "Woz" scored a goal, but the Herberger course team lost 3: 5 goals against the south. Wozniakowski made his debut in the German amateur soccer team on June 13 in Wuppertal in the international match against France at the side of his club mate Winfried Herz. When the league returnees Eintracht Braunschweig finished fourth in the 1953/54 season, “Woz” had also scored ten goals in 22 games. In the 1955/56 round, he had his best record with 27 missions with 16 hits. With 68 goals, Braunschweig had, as twelfth in the table, eleven more goals than runner-up Hannover 96, but also conceded 32 more goals. With his use on November 24, 1957, at the home game against Holstein Kiel in front of 13,000 spectators, Heinz Wozniakowski ended his active career in the Oberliga Nord. He did not take part in the final round of the German soccer championship in 1958, Jürgen Moll came into play as a new hope for the "Löwen". From 1952 to 1957 Wozniakowski completed 107 league games for Eintracht Braunschweig and scored 50 goals.
