career

Duisburg, until 1959

Emerging from TuS Duisburg 48/99 , the young goalkeeper "Jupp" Broden joined the leading football club in Duisburg at the time, the eleven-time West German champions, the Duisburg game club in the West Football League, for the 1950/51 round . On the 17th matchday, on January 14, 1951, at the home game against Preußen Dellbrück , he made his debut with the "Red Blouses" in the league. The main goalkeeper at DSV was Heinz Becker with 27 appearances in the year of relegation to the 2nd West League. Broden brought it to three league games in his first year with the DSV from the south of the city. In 1954, the year of the football world championship in Switzerland, 1953/54, the old master celebrated the championship in the second division with goalkeeper Broden and his teammates Willi Koll , Hans Lohmann and Manfred Wacker and returned to the top division. Behind Broden with 27 appearances, the young goalkeeper Herbert Eiteljörge was the substitute goalkeeper with three league games for the league returnee. In the 1954/55 round, Eiteljörge was ahead of the game with 20 games against Broden's ten appearances in the Oberliga West. From the 1955/56 season, Broden rose to the undisputed number one. The DSV took fourth place in the west, and Broden had played all 30 league games and only conceded 36 goals. With 36 goals conceded, Borussia Dortmund celebrated the championship team, but scored 30 more points on the offensive than the team from the Wedau Stadium. Even when Duisburg managed to win the runner-up in the western league with coach Fred Harthaus in 1957 , goalkeeper "Jupp" Broden played all 30 league games. In the final round of the German championship, he guarded the case of the team from the Lower Rhine in all three matches against Hamburger SV (1: 1), 1. FC Saarbrücken (3: 1) and 1. FC Nürnberg. In total, the goalkeeper completed 130 league games for DSV in the Oberliga West from 1950 to 1959.

After problems within the club, the 32-year-old technical employee gave in to Ernst Kuzorra's recruitment and joined FC Schalke 04 in 1959, where he succeeded Manfred Orzessek .

Schalke, 1959 to 1965

He was able to stand in the goal of the “Royal Blues” as a regular player for three more rounds. He finished fourth with Schalke in 1960, third in 1961 and second in 1962 in the Oberliga West and completed 77 league games. Replacement goalkeepers in those years were Manfred Orzessek and Klaus Schonz . One point behind champions 1. FC Köln, Schalke reached the runner-up in 1962. Schalke reached the final round with a 4-1 win in qualifying after extra time against Werder Bremen. With his team-mates Hans Nowak , Willi Schulz , Egon Horst , Manfred Kreuz , Werner Ipta , Willi Koslowski , Waldemar Gerhardt and Bernhard Klodt , the 35-year-old goalkeeper veteran came against group opponents Borussia Neunkirchen (3: 2), Tasmania 1900 Berlin (1: 1) and 1. FC Nürnberg (1: 3) to 3: 3 points and then stepped back in the second row.

In the last year of the old first-class league era, 1962/63, he was substitute goalkeeper together with Schonz behind Horst Mühlmann . A total of 78 league appearances came for Broden at Schalke from 1959 to 1963.

In the first year of the Bundesliga , 1963/64, he made four Bundesliga appearances as a Mühlmann representative. For the following season, Gyula Toth, a new goalkeeper came to Schalke, and Broden found a new job as coach of the Schalke amateurs. He held this job until 1969. The old master with the safe positional play returned at the age of 38 on August 27, 1965 in the away game against Meidericher SV again between the Bundesliga posts. Josef Elting and Horst Mühlmann were out, and so Broden found himself back in Schalke for a game as a Bundesliga keeper in his home town of Duisburg, of all places. In the 1: 5 defeat against the "Zebras", he saved a penalty from Ludwig Nolden in the 63rd minute , but who was able to convert the penalty in the repetition. The young stopper Klaus Fichtel ran into the penalty area too early.
