Jürgen Moll (born November 16, 1939 in Karlsbad , (today Karlovy Vary Czech Republic ), † December 16, 1968 near Evendorf ) was a German football player .

Career

Moll, who was born in Karlsbad in what was then the Reichsgau Sudetenland , fled to Braunschweig with his parents in 1945 . In his youth he played for MTV Braunschweig and in 1954 moved to Leu Braunschweig , for whom he scored 94 goals in the 1955/56 season and 45 goals in the 1956/57 season in the school team. Aroused the interest of clubs in the senior sector, he was hired by Eintracht Braunschweig for their amateur team in 1957 .

Since he did not receive approval from Leu Braunschweig, Moll was only able to make his debut in the Braunschweig amateur team on January 12, 1958; Already in this game he scored two goals. In July 1958 he signed a license player contract with the first team. From the 1958/59 season he played for Eintracht Braunschweig in the Oberliga Nord , the highest German division at the time.

As early as 1958, he was involved in the finals for the German championship . Between 1963 and 1968 he played as an all-round player (in defense, in attack and in other positions) in the newly founded Bundesliga for Eintracht 162 games and scored 28 goals. He made his debut on August 24, 1963 (1st matchday) in a 1-1 draw in the away game against TSV 1860 Munich . With his first Bundesliga goal on August 31, 1963 (2nd matchday) in the home game against Preußen Münster , the goal to make it 1-0 in the 15th minute, he ensured Eintracht Braunschweig's first Bundesliga win. At the end of the 1966/67 season he contributed with 34 point games, in which he scored five goals, to the German championship , the only one of the club to this day. In the championship season he was one of the regular players and was also the leading player in the successful team. As the reigning German champion, Moll and his team took part in the European Cup of National Champions in 1967/68 and played five international club games. Only in the playoff against the Italian champions Juventus Turin - after no decision had been made in the two quarter-finals whether the results achieved in each case - he was eliminated from the competition with the Braunschweig team with the 0-1 defeat. From 1958 to 1968 he played 278 point games for Braunschweig. His 101 goals scored mean second place on the club's eternal best list.

On December 16, 1968, he and his wife, the actress Sigrid Mollwitz, had a fatal accident on their way home from vacation. His motor vehicle had strayed from the autobahn near Evendorf in snowy conditions. In favor of his two orphaned daughters, two charity games were played on April 14, 1969 in front of 21,000 spectators in Braunschweig's Eintracht Stadium . In the first, the world championship eleven from 1954 (in the only game after 1954) played against BTSV, in the second, a combined team from Eintracht Braunschweig / Hannover 96 played against a Bundesliga selection.
