Horst Beulig

Horst Beulig (born February 9, 1922 ; † November 20, 2010 ) was a German soccer player who played for the SG Volkspolizei / Dynamo Dresden in the Oberliga , the top division of GDR soccer, in the 1950s . With Dresden he was GDR champion and cup winner.

Athletic career

In the summer of 1950, Beulig was one of 17 football players selected in a screening course from the police sports communities of the entire GDR who were to play for the SG Volkspolizei Dresden in the future. The GDR sports association, the German People's Police , chose the Dresden SG as their top football club. Without athletic qualifications, she was incorporated into the league for the 1950/51 season.

The 28-year-old Beulig, who had previously played for the lower class SG Volkspolizei in Radebeul, played as a defender in the upper league for the first time on the third match day. In the first half of the season he played a total of only five league games, only in the second half of the season he managed to gain a foothold in the team. Now mainly playing in midfield, he was used 12 times in the 17 remaining point games. In their second league season, the SG Volkspolizei reached second place. Beulig, who was rarely used in the second half of the season, played only 14 of 36 point games. He also missed the Dresden cup win (3-0 over Unity Pankow ) in September 1952.

A week later, Dresden's third league season began. During the 1952/53 season the sports club was renamed Dynamo Dresden, and in the end the team won the GDR championship. Beulig had little part in this, because he was only used five times in the 32 point games. He was also missing in the playoff for the championship against the tied BSG Wismut Aue (3: 2 nV). In the 1953/54 season, the new coach János Gyarmati Beuling gave a new chance. After an attempt as a right-back Gyarmati put him in six league games in the right midfield. After that, Beuling was only used twice as a substitute in the major league. He played his last league game on December 13, 1953, when he came on as a substitute for the last ten minutes in the match between Dynamo Dresden and Wismut Aue (2-1).

After 44 league games in which he remained without scoring, Beulig joined the BSG Stahl Freital , for which he completed 15 games in the second-rate GDR league in 1954/55 and scored five goals. After that, at the age of 33, he stopped playing in the higher-class football leagues.
