from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Horst Talaszus (born January 28, 1936 - May 7, 2020 ) was a German football player . The defender in the former World Cup system played 197 league games (1 goal) in the Berlin City League for Tasmania Berlin from 1955 to 1963 and won the Berlin championship three times with the blue-whites from Neukölln in 1959, 1960 and 1962 . In the finals of the German soccer championship , he made 14 appearances with one goal. He won the cup in Berlin with his club four times: in 1958 and from 1961 to 1963. In the first year of the second-rate regional league in 1963/64 , he won the Berlin championship again. When Tasmania belonged to the Bundesliga in 1965/66 without previous athletic qualifications , he ran in nine league games with the relegated player without a chance and ended his higher-class career in December 1965.

Career

Talaszus began his sporting path at VfB Concordia Britz in the Neukölln district . At the age of 14 he moved to the youth department of Tasmania 1900. In the 1954/55 season he was with "Tas" Berlin champion of the youth league and from the 1955/56 season belonged to the contract players of the city league promoted from Neukölln. In the city ​​league , “Tünnes” Talaszus, who was the main fire chief of the Berlin fire brigade, won the championship with Tasmania 1900 in 1959, 1960 and 1962. The first season in the contract player camp began for the young player on September 4, 1955 with a 4-0 win against Union 06, where he was used as a left wing runner. At the end of the round he had completed 17 league games in his debut round and "Tas" held the class with ninth place. The third league season 1957/58 ended the Neuköllner in fifth place and nothing indicated that the blue-whites would seriously have a say in the title award in the next round. The team is supervised by coach Fritz Maurischat , but together with Spandauer SV they determined the 1958/59 season. The supposed favorites Hertha BSC , Viktoria 89 and Tennis Borussia landed on the courts. After 33 match days, Tasmania won the championship one point ahead of Spandau. The highlight took place on the last day of the match, when leaders Tasmania lost 3-1 at Hertha BSC in front of 35,000 spectators and Spandau gave away their sudden chance with a 4-2 defeat at Wacker 04. In 1900 Tasmania was in the finals of the German football championship for the first time in its club history.

The first game was played in Dortmund in the Rote Erde stadium against the West German champions Westfalia Herne . In front of 30,000 spectators, the Berlin champions lost just 0: 1. On the defensive, "Tas" started with goalkeeper Hans-Joachim Posinski , the defender couple Hans-Jürgen Bäsler and Talaszus, and the runner row with Horst Mauruschat , Eckhardt Peschke and Horst Greuel . For the home game on May 30, 1959, 90,000 spectators came to the Olympiastadion against Hamburger SV . National striker Uwe Seeler decided the game with two goals in favor of the north champion. The group game against the eventual finalist Kickers Offenbach on June 13 was highly dramatic. "Tas" led 2-0 goals up to the 87th minute, before the OFC managed a 3-2 home win and the Hessians therefore moved into the final against Eintracht Frankfurt before HSV. In the 1960 finals on May 29, the group game in the Olympic Stadium in front of 88,000 spectators against 1. FC Köln , which was lost with 1: 2 goals, was a special game for Talaszus. He and Hans-Jürgen Bäsler formed the defender pair and in the duels as a left defender, he primarily had to deal with the 54 world champion Helmut Rahn on Cologne's right wing. Tasmania scored 6: 6 points against Pirmasens, Bremen and Cologne and showed that the Berlin champions were competitive. Also in the shortened finals in 1962 because of the World Cup in Chile with only three games, the 3: 3 point balance of the Berliners was a respectable success. Overall, Talaszus came in the finals from 1959 to 1962 for the German championship on 14 missions. From 1955 to 1963 he played 197 games in the Berlin City League. In September / October 1962 he played two appearances in the trade fair cup against DOS Utrecht and also has four appointments in the city selection of Berlin.

After the successes in the Berlin Cup in 1958 and 1961 to 1963, there were also notable appearances in the DFB Cup in the games against VfL Osnabrück (1: 1 a.s./3:1), Fortuna Düsseldorf (HF, 1: 2 , against right winger Bernhard Steffen ), FC Altona 93 (4: 1), 1. FC Kaiserslautern (1: 2 afterwards against right winger Manfred Feldmüller ), Eintracht Frankfurt (0: 1 against right winger Richard Kress ), Concordia Hamburg ( 3: 1) and again on July 31, 1963 in a 0: 1 defeat against Werder Bremen with their winger Gerhard Zebrowski .

In the first year of the second division in the Regionalliga, 1963/64, he won the championship with his team under coach Gunther Baumann and thus moved into the Bundesliga promotion round . Particularly noteworthy were the two games against FC Bayern Munich : On June 10th, Tasmania fought 1-1 in Munich and on June 24th, they managed a 3-0 home win against the team from Bayern, overseen by coach Zlatko Čajkovski , in whose ranks with goalkeeper Sepp Maier , Franz Beckenbauer , Herbert Erhardt , Rainer Ohlhauser , Werner Ipta and Dieter Brenninger were above-average experts on the ball. On the last group match day, June 28, the Berliners lost 0: 1 to the subsequent promoted Borussia Neunkirchen in front of 38,000 spectators in the Ellenfeldstadion and ended the promotion rounds with 6: 6 points. Talaszus had played in all six games.

From the 1964/65 round the shape curve of the "tall guys" of Tasmania began to decline. They only finished third in the Regionalliga Berlin; Talaszus had played again in 26 games. Since Hertha BSC was excluded from the Bundesliga due to financial irregularities, Tasmania was admitted to the Bundesliga for the 1965/66 season by a DFB decision at short notice without athletic qualifications . Talaszus started with the insufficiently prepared Tasmania on August 14, 1965 against Karlsruher SC with a home game in the Bundesliga. 81,000 spectators experienced a surprising 2-0 success thanks to two goals from Wulf-Ingo Usbeck . Talaszus had to do as a left defender with the fast Horst-Dieter Berking on the right wing of the KSC. With the 0: 5 away defeat on November 6, 1965 at defending champions Werder Bremen, the Bundesliga chapter was over for the defender after nine missions under coach Franz Linken . Under his successor Heinz-Ludwig Schmidt , there was no further consideration and after a dispute at the Christmas party in 1965 his contract was terminated.

Talaszus returned to his hometown club VfB Concordia Britz, for whom he played in the first team for four years. After that he worked for decades in the AH-Elf and was officially bid farewell to active football in June 2004 together with five other oldies with a game against Adler Mariendorf.
