Stations as a player
Horst Scherbaum played in his youth for SV Concordia Plauen until 1942 . After the Second World War he was active at SG Plauen-Süd. With her he became Vogtland district champion in 1947. In 1950, at the age of 25, Scherbaum moved to the company sports community (BSG) Chemie Leipzig in the GDR Oberliga , the top division in GDR football . In his first league season in 1950/51 he fought for a regular place as a midfielder in the chemistry team and played all 34 point games. As a right wing runner , he also played the playoff for the GDR championship in 1950/51 on May 20, 1951 , which Chemie Leipzig won 2-0 against Turbine Erfurt. Until October 7, 1952, Scherbaum, still used in midfield, played all of BSG Chemie's league point games.
After playing 75 matches for chemistry and scoring six goals, he joined the Kasernierte Volkspolizei (KVP) and moved to local and top division rivals SV Vorwärts KVP Leipzig . There he played all the remaining 28 point games, initially again in midfield, at the end of the season as a central defender. From April 1952 the team played as ZSK Vorwärts in East Berlin and had to relegate from the league after the end of the season.
As a player for BSG Chemie Leipzig, Scherbaum led the GDR national soccer team to their first international match on September 21, 1952, as captain and right wing runner. The GDR lost the game in Poland 3-0. Until 1958, Scherbaum always played a total of five international matches as a midfielder. In 1954 he was also used in two international matches for the B national team.
After relegation from the league, Scherbaum played with the ZSK Vorwärts, where he had since been appointed team captain, as a right runner all 26 point games in the second-rate GDR league and was thus decisively involved in the immediate resurgence. On July 3, 1954, he was with the forward team in the final of the GDR soccer cup , which the Berlin second division team surprisingly won 2-1 against the upper division Motor Zwickau. In the following league season 1954/55 Scherbaum played 14 point games as a midfielder for Vorwärts Berlin up to January 1955, from February to July 1955 he was delegated to the second division SK Vorwärts Leipzig , which at that time took the place of SC DHfK Leipzig II, where he was used in all 12 point games in the GDR league.
In the summer of 1955, Scherbaum ended his service in the barracked people's police and joined the upper division SC Rotation Leipzig , which was founded in 1954 . On September 25, 1955, the 4th matchday of the transition round, which was carried out to align with the calendar year season valid from 1956, he played his first match for the SC Rotation - SC activist Brieske-Senftenberg (4-2) Leipzig Club. At first he played as a central defender, later on in the usual position of the right wing runner. Mainly on this post Scherbaum played all league games in the 1956 season. In 1957, the new coach Hans Studener put him back on as a central defender, and Scherbaum played all league games without interruption until 1959 in this position. In 1960 Scherbaum completed his last league season. Still as a regular player in central defense, he made another 24 appearances and made 138 league games (1 goal) for SC Rotation Leipzig.
