Herbert Raddatz (born May 13, 1914 in Oberschöneweide , today in Berlin , † October 29, 2001 in Erkner ) was a German football player from Berlin.

Career

Raddatz, who made his first footballing steps at SG Oberspree and SC Ostend as a child, moved to SC Union Oberschöneweide at the age of twelve, where he spent his entire further football career. There he celebrated his debut in the senior team in 1933 at the age of 18 in a 3-1 win against Adlershofer BC . At first he played as an outside runner . He later switched to the more defensive position of center runner , where he also celebrated his greatest successes. Nevertheless, he remained dangerous on goal with his free kicks and penalties . As team captain , he led the Unioner together with players such as B. Heinz Rogge or Paul Salisch to two Berlin championships , which meant qualification for the final round of the German championship .

In the final round in 1940 , he and the team were able to prevail in the preliminary group against VfB Königsberg and VfL Stettin . But then they lost the qualifying games for group victory against the later championship third SK Rapid Vienna . While Raddatz was still able to control Vienna's star striker Franz Binder in the first leg, Binder defeated Oberschöneweider almost single- handedly in the second leg in front of 60,000 spectators in the Berlin Olympic Stadium with three goals.

However, these years were already marked by the Second World War , which also left its mark on football and Union. During this time, the 1940 championship was followed by relegation from the Gauliga Berlin-Brandenburg only two years later . Two years later the Unioners rose again; however, the approach of the Allies and the associated end of the war ended the following season prematurely.

After the dissolution of the Unions and the re-establishment of the club as SG Oberschöneweide in 1945, Raddatz also returned as a player. The new coach Karl-Heinz Schulz - the Berlin State Cup was later named after him - wanted to build a new team around him. With the team he won the RIAS Cup in 1947 and 1948 . In addition, the team made it to the Berlin City League in 1947 , where they again won the Berlin Championship, which qualified them for the 1948 championship finals. There Oberschöneweide lost in front of 70,000 spectators in the Olympic Stadium, however, with 0: 7 against FC St. Pauli .

In the same year Raddatz ended his career. During this time, he had played 1,600 games for Union, including all appearances in the youth field. In addition, he was appointed 85 times in the Berlin selection and was part of the senior national team when it took the Olympic oath in the Berlin State Opera in 1936 . However , he did not play a game during the Olympic football tournament .
