Athletic career

In 1949, the 24-year-old goalkeeper Horst Kiesewetter rose with the Weimar "Sports Association of the German People's Police" to the Thuringia regional class, which was second class at the time. In 1951, the People's Police also made it into the second-rate GDR league, which has now been established . In his first GDR league season, Kiesewetter played all 22 point games. For the 1952/53 season he moved to the VP community, the top division club Dynamo Dresden. There he was designated as the second goalkeeper behind Heinz Klemm and was only used in nine league games. This season the Dresden GDR champions were. In 1953/54, Klemm was injured several times, so Kiesewetter was used seventeen times in the 28-game season. In November 1954 the league team was transferred from Dynamo Dresden to East Berlin and then played as SC Dynamo Berlin. Kiesewetter had not played a league game for Dresden this season, but played for the injured Klemm in the SC Dynamo's debut on November 21 in the game against Rotation Babelsberg (0: 3). After a second league assignment on December 19, Kiesewetter returned to Dresden together with other former Dresden players and joined the newly founded SG Dynamo, which had taken over the GDR league space of the failed soccer section of the SC DHfK Leipzig . With Dresden he played all thirteen league games in the second half of the season. At the end of the season, the SG Dynamo had to relegate to the third-class II. GDR league , and a year later they were relegated to the district league . The continual return to the higher football leagues did not take place until 1957, but Horst Kiesewetter had already ended his career as a footballer after the 1957 season (calendar year season).
