Jochenfritz "Jochen" Meinke (born October 23, 1930 in Hamburg- Hammerbrook) is a former German football player . With 307 appearances and ten goals, he is the record holder of Hamburger SV in what was then the first-class soccer Oberliga Nord . In the 1959/60 season he won the German soccer championship as captain with the "red pants" .
career
Jochenfritz Meinke, nicknamed "Jocki", began his career as a teenager at SC Sperber Hamburg . After the end of the Second World War, he moved to the youth department of Hamburger SV on July 1, 1945. For the 1949/50 season he was taken over from the offspring of the "Rothosen" in the league team in the Oberliga Nord. The new coach Georg Knöpfle was also provided with the new additions Josef Posipal , Werner Harden and Rolf Rohrberg at Rothenbaum . On the fourth game day, October 9, 1949, the young player made his debut in a 5-2 home win against Hannover 96 on half right in the Oberliga Nord. Due to a serious meniscus injury - thereby also missing the "goodwill trip" of HSV to the USA in the summer of 1950 - he only made three rounds and was therefore only able to play six league games in 1950/51. When goalkeeper Horst Schnoor, the next high-performing youth player of his own, successfully moved up into the league squad for the round in 1952/53, Meinke finally made the breakthrough as a regular player with 33 league appearances and four goals.
After Uwe Seeler , Klaus Stürmer and Jürgen Werner, three exceptionally talented young players, joined the league team in the 1954/55 season , HSV also picked up speed nationally, i.e. in the DFB Cup and the final round of the German championship. In the first final, the team around Meinke, who played outside runner or stopper, competed for the DFB Cup in 1956 . The finals for the German championship in 1957 and 1958 followed . Both finals were lost. In his eleventh league season, 1959/60, the captain Meinke, who had long since moved up from the outer runner role to the center runner, brought the German championship to Hamburg on June 25, 1960 in Frankfurt with HSV with a 3-2 win against 1. FC Köln . Against the West German champions, the stable defense proved to be the key to success. With the strikers Helmut Rahn , Christian Breuer , Christian Müller , Hans Schäfer , Karl-Heinz Thielen and the two offensive outside runners Josef Röhrig and Hans Sturm , the "billy goat" eleven had an outstanding offensive quality. Overall, the always calm, matter-of-fact and strong-nerved top performer from 1951 to 1962 with the "Rothosen" completed 52 finals for the German championship. Meinke made his debut in the finals on May 27, 1951 in a 5-1 home win against Preußen Münster as the right wing runner alongside Jupp Posipal and Heinz Bung Bottle . The HSV captain completed his 52nd final round game on May 5, 1962 in the 1: 2 home defeat against Eintracht Frankfurt as a middle runner, supported by outside runners Jürgen Werner and Dieter Seeler.
The international friendlies against top foreign teams made a not insignificant contribution to the performance of HSV in the Oberliga era. Meinke and colleagues played against Manchester United (August 16, 1958 and August 12, 1959), Real Madrid (September 5, 1959), CF Barcelona (September 3, 1960 and March 12, 1962), AC Milan (November 7, 1959), among others 1961), Penarol Montevideo (February 3, 1962), Benfica Lisbon (September 29, 1962) and FC Santos (October 20, 1962) with Pelé . But they also had to serve as a substitute for his modest selection appointments. Only on April 24, 1954, the long-standing HSV service provider was used by the DFB in a B international match in Offenburg against Switzerland. In addition, he played six times between 1955 and 1960 for the national team of the North German Football Association and scored one goal.
In the European Cup of National Champions in 1960/61 at the games against Young Boys Bern , FC Burnley and in the three games against FC Barcelona , the Hamburg's defensive conductor also impressed in this competition. Also against internationally recognized attackers such as Anton Allemann , Eugen Meier , Ernst Wechselberger (Young Boys), Jimmy McIlroy , Brian Pilkington, Jimmy Robson, Roy Pointer (Burnley) and the star-studded Catalan attack by Sándor Kocsis , László Kubala , Evaristo , Luis Suárez and Zoltán Czibor , the HSV veteran confirmed his importance as a defensive conductor and dormant pool for the HSV defensive game. Meinke is quoted at Vinke about the European Cup games:
“In my opinion, we made the best European Cup game in Bern in a 5-0 win over the Young Boys - a fabulous game. Unfortunately, it was not broadcast on television at the time and thus did not get the public it deserved. Of course, we also showed a sensational performance in the 4-1 home win in the quarter-finals against Burnley FC. "
His last - of a total of 307 - league games for his club was played by "Jocki" Meinke on February 3, 1963 in the 1: 2 home defeat against Altona 93. He was there with fellow players Horst Schnoor, Gerhard Krug , Jürgen Kurbjuhn , Jürgen Werner, Dieter Seeler, Uwe Reuter , Harry Behre , Uwe Seeler, Peter Wulf and Gert Dörfel on the square. Then Hubert Stapelfeldt took over his position as a middle runner for a short time. It was only with the arrival of national player Willi Schulz in the 1965/66 round that the vacancy in the HSV's defensive center could be countered. However, this personnel did not bring about the success of the league era.
The record player with a role model was often referred to as the "father of the HSV championship team from 1960" and was not only an integrating figure because of his loyalty to the club and in all the successes - from 1950 to 1963 alone 13 championships in the Oberliga Nord - of Hamburger SV between the Second World War and the introduction of the Bundesliga.
After the introduction of the Bundesliga for the 1963/64 season, Meinke was no longer used. But he was still with an "honorary contract" until 1965 as an active player on the HSV payroll and also played a game against Liverpool FC on the trip to America in New York in May 1964. Meinke will remember later:
“ A new era in football began with the Bundesliga. At 32 I felt too old for that. I had a gas station, the children came to school. At my age I could hardly have uprooted trees. "
The top division record player officially ended his career in 1965 and later worked from 1979 to 1992 as head of the HSV performance center at Ochsenzoll.
His brother Ulrich was also an HSVer.
