Athletic career career

1. FC Magdeburg

Jens Wittke began his career in men's football in the 1983/84 season with the 2nd team of 1. FC Magdeburg in the third-class district league . On February 27, 1985 he completed in the quarter-final second leg of the GDR soccer cup FCM - Chemie Leipzig (4: 1) his first game for the Magdeburg Oberligaelf. After another cup use, he came on March 22, 1986 to his first league game. In the encounter on the 18th match day of the 1985/86 season FCM - Rot-Weiß Erfurt he was substituted on in 57th minute. It remained with these three missions in the first team of the FCM. Wittke initially continued to belong to the squad of the 2nd team in the Magdeburg district league until April 1987 .

FC Forward Frankfurt

In May 1987 Wittke began his military service and was assigned to the top club of the GDR Army Port Association , FC Vorwärts Frankfurt / Oder. This put him in his league team from August 1987, with whom he played the first eight point games of the season as a midfielder. The 1.80 m tall Wittke was able to achieve his first league goal on the 4th day of the 1987/88 season. In the match between FCV and Stahl Riesa (2: 2) he gave his team a 1-0 lead in the 27th minute. On the eighth day of the match, Wittke injured himself so badly that he could no longer be used in the league for the rest of the season. In the Ligaelf FCV II he was called up only once in 1987/88. At the end of the season, FC forward rose to the GDR league . Jens Wittke was nominated again for the 1st team, but was no longer used until the end of October 1988.

Stahl Eisenhüttenstadt

After his discharge from the army, Wittke returned to the Magdeburg region in November 1988 and joined the GDR league team Motor Schönebeck . There he immediately became a regular player and played 21 games out of the 24 league games left by the end of the season and was the Schönebecker's top scorer with nine goals. For the 1989/90 season coach Günter Reinke took him to the league promoted steel Eisenhüttenstadt. But Wittke suffered the same bad luck with injuries there as in Frankfurt. On the fifth day of the league game he was injured again after four appearances as a striker and had to take a break until the end of November. After that he had almost only short appearances, only made 16 league games by the end of the season and only scored one goal. In the second league season, Jens Wittke was only used three times in the league, while his brother Axel, who had followed him to Eisenhüttenstadt, played 24 league games. Jens Wittke also missed participation in the last GDR Cup final, which the team, which has now been converted into Eisenhüttenstädter FC Stahl, lost 1-0 to the last GDR champion Hansa Rostock. By participating in the finals, FC Stahl had qualified for both the DFB Supercup and the competition for the 1991/92 European Cup Winners' Cup. In the Supercup game against Werder Bremen , which the Eisenhüttenstadt team lost 0: 1, Wittke played 65 minutes as the right attacker. In the European Cup, EFC Stahl played two games against Turkish representatives Galatasaray Istanbul (1: 2, 0: 3). Wittke was only used in the first leg in his own stadium from the 82nd minute. In the last GDR major league season caused by reunification , FC Stahl was only able to qualify for the third-rate amateur league . Wittke played there until the end of the 1992/93 season.

Red and white food

In the 1993/94 season Wittke was part of the squad of the promoted to the 2nd Bundesliga, Rot-Weiss Essen. There he introduced himself promisingly with a goal on the first day of the match. But starting with the 4th game day he was only a substitute. Between the 8th and 19th matchday he was not used at all and played only eight point games over the entire season. Essen received no license for the following season and Wittke moved to FC Gütersloh in the fourth-class Oberliga Westfalen . With this team he rose in 1995 to the then third-class regional league . Then he ended his career as a competitive athlete. After an interlude at the lower class SG Aufbau Eisenhüttenstadt , Wittke returned to Magdeburg. There he played around the turn of the millennium, first in the 1st team and later with the old men of MSV Börde Magdeburg .

Trivia

His brother Axel Wittke was also a soccer player. With his 28 GDR league games and eight appearances in the 2nd Bundesliga, Jens Wittke did not match the more successful career of his four-year-old brother, who played 187 GDR league games and 126 games in the 2nd Bundesliga. Jens is the uncle of Axel's sons, Kevin (* 1984) and Ricky (* 1988), who are also active in the Regionalliga and Oberliga .
