Josef Rickmann (born April 24, 1920 ) is a former German soccer player .

Career

Rickmann played from 1948 to 1957 for Preußen Münster in the Oberliga West , in one of five seasons as the highest German division and played as a midfielder 111 point games in which he scored a goal.

His premier season was also that of his club, which had previously risen from the second-class Landesliga Westfalen , via victory in Group 2 and the victory in the Westphalia Championship against SuS Recklinghausen in the Oberliga West. As a newcomer - in addition to Rot-Weiss Essen and Rhenania Würselen - the class could be held, and that as fourth-placed of 13 teams. He made his debut on September 12, 1948 (1st matchday) in a 1-0 win at home against Fortuna Düsseldorf , and scored his only league goal on April 17, 1955 (28th matchday) in a 4-0 win over Borussia M .gladbach with the goal to 2-0 in the 65th minute. As runner-up in the 1950/51 season, just one point behind the champions of the Oberliga West, FC Schalke 04, he and his team - and they too - qualified for the only time as a participant in the finals for the German championship .

In the final round, which was held in two groups of four teams each, and whose group winners contested the final, he was used four times. He played the first and the last two games of Group 2 , which he finished with his team as a winner and thus reached the final.

The final held on June 30, 1951 in the Berlin Olympic Stadium against 1. FC Kaiserslautern , despite the 1-0 lead by Felix Gerritzen in the 47th minute, was still 1: 2 by Ottmar Walter's two in the 61st and 74th . Minute goals scored lost; it is the greatest sporting success to date that a team from Preußen Münster has achieved.
