Hellmut Meidt (born July 24, 1910 in Jena ; † January 1993 in Bielefeld ) was a German football coach .

Career

Meidt was born in Jena, Thuringia , and grew up near Magdeburg. It is known about his playing career that he played for SC Magdeburg 1900 and EC Erfurt before the Second World War, and after the war for Viktoria Aschaffenburg in what was then the first-class soccer league south . Six league appearances are noted for Aschaffenburg. After Aschaffenburg he worked as a player- coach (1949) at Eintracht Wetzlar in the Hessen State League. In 1951 he took over the second division Arminia Bielefeld . Two years later he left the club because, in his opinion, the board tried too hard to talk into the team line-up. He then moved to local rivals VfB 03 Bielefeld , with whom he was promoted to the 2nd Division West in 1955 and relegated again after only one year. On the mediation of Reinhard Haseldiek , Meidt moved to VfL Osnabrück in the summer of 1957 .

With the Osnabrückers, the successor of Paul Bornefeld won fourth place in the Oberliga Nord 1957/58 and he won the North German Cup on June 21, 1958 with a 3-2 draw against the northern champions Hamburger SV . Also in his second year at VfL in 1958/59 he led the purple-whites from the Bremer Brücke back to fourth place. But he lost the cup final in the north on September 9, 1959 2: 4 against the team around Uwe Seeler , Klaus Stürmer and Gert Dörfel . In 1960 and 1961 he took third place with Osnabrück. Because of his defensive tactics, however, he came under increasing criticism in the following years and left the club in the summer of 1962. He was considered a person of respect and a shrewd tactician, as well as a trainer who demanded iron discipline.

Meidt then moved to SV Saar 05 Saarbrücken in the first-class Oberliga Südwest at the time . In April 1963, Meidt returned to Arminia Bielefeld. The club was in the second last place in Division West and threatened to miss the qualification for the newly created Regionalliga West , for which the eighth place was necessary.

Under Meidt, the Bielefeld team won nine of the last ten games of the season and still managed to qualify for the regional league. He coached Arminia until 1965, before taking over VfL Osnabrück, which was in relegation battle in March 1965. In 1967 he left Osnabrück again. In January 1972, after Egon Piechaczek's dismissal, Meidt was appointed as an interim trainer for the third time at Arminia Bielefeld before he gave up his post to the Dutchman Jan Notermans . Meidt last lived with his wife in a retirement home in the Schildesche district of Bielefeld , where he died in January 1993.
