career

In Alsenborn, the captain of the 1954 world championship team, Fritz Walter , allowed himself to be persuaded to take on a "supervisory and advisory role" at the local SVA in his new residence. Every year the Alsenborn rose from 1963 to 1965 from the A-Class West Palatinate, through the 2nd Amateur League West Palatinate and 1st Amateur League Southwest , up to the 1965/66 season in the Regionalliga Südwest.

Before the third regional round of Alsenborn, 1967/68, Fritz Walter noticed a fast winger in a friendly match against an amateur selection, as the good Alsenborn defender Roland Kirsch had had a hard time against the unknown amateur footballer. It was 19-year-old Josef Sattmann from SV Viktoria Wertheim from the 2nd amateur league Odenwald. After finding a job for the trained glassblower, the young man moved from the Main-Tauber district to the Palatinate. In addition, Alfons Wachter, a player from SC Neuburgweier from the southern soccer district of Karlsruhe, came to Alsenborn on advice from Franz Schmitt . The increased offensive - especially through the sprinter on the left wing - brought the tall center forward Jürgen Schieck into the game so well that the header specialist conquered the top scorer's crown in the southwest with 31 hits , and the team from the stadium on the Kinderlehre won the championship . Sattmann contributed six goals in 30 league games to the championship success. Together with Fritz Fuchs, Lorenz Horr, Jürgen Schieck and Franz Schmitt, the newcomer belonged to a group of five who had played all 30 rounds for Alsenborn. The previous amateur from Wertheim started with Alsenborn on August 14, 1967 with a 0-2 home defeat against Saar 05 Saarbrücken in the regional league. On September 18, he was able to register for the first time in the game against SC Friedrichsthal in the list of goalscorers, against the relegated the winger also scored his sixth goal on February 19, 1968 in a 3-1 home win. The interaction with the filigree technician Franz Schmitt on half-left showed his outstanding speed very well.

In the promotion round , the village team was third behind Hertha BSC and Rot-Weiss Essen with 8: 8 points. Sattmann had played all eight promotion round matches against Hertha BSC, Rot-Weiss Essen, SC Göttingen 05 and FC Bayern Hof and scored three goals. The duels against defenders with the quality of Klaus Matz , Peter Klepatz , Uwe Witt , Hans Eder , Tasso Wild , Ivan Šangulin , Hans Felbinger , Roland Peitsch , Heinz Stauvermann , Werner Kik and Hans Dörre were challenges of a special kind The home games against Hertha BSC (2: 1) in front of 36,000 and Essen (1: 1) in front of 40,000 spectators in the Südweststadion in Ludwigshafen were particularly popular . The climax was the final game on June 23, 1968 against the promoted Hertha BSC (1: 1) in front of 78,000 spectators in the Berlin Olympic Stadium. The Alsenborner team with goalkeeper Manfred Krei , the defender couple Roland Kirsch and Fritz Fuchs , the runner row with Erwin Rödler , Klaus Schmidt and Wolfgang Röhring could the Hertha in connection with the half-strikers Lorenz Horr and Franz Schmitt, as well as the attacking peaks Manfred Feldmüller , Jürgen Schieck and Josef Sattmann from Hertha Paroli and offered the enthusiastic spectators a game at eye level.

Before the 1968/69 season , Alsenborn had to cope with the loss of goal scorer Schieck, and met this personnel by signing additional talent from the amateur camp such as Werner Adler , Manfred Lenz , Franz Schwarzwälder , Erwin Schwehm , Matthias Volk and Alban Wüst . In terms of sport, the situation was well received by the team. The 20-year-old Sattmann played in his regular position on the left wing in the first nine league games and scored one goal each in the games against Worms, Saar 05 and Völklingen. Then, in the last days of October 1968, he was involved in a car accident, where he suffered a severe fracture of the base of the skull and other head injuries. Due to the severity of the injuries and the long-term consequences, the hopeful talent could no longer continue his sporting career. After 39 regional league appearances with nine goals, the football career of 20-year-old footballer Josef Sattmann ended tragically.

In the remarks on SV Alsenborn in the book about the Bundesliga promotion rounds, Heinrich Breyer recorded in the plain text book from 1990 about Josef Sattmann: “They had brought a new striker from somewhere in the Odenwald, Sepp Sattmann, who was in a very short time became a favorite in the southwest and the experts prophesied a bright future. He did indeed show all the characteristics of a future national player, and half a dozen Bundesliga clubs were already lining up. He dribbled like Littbarski and shot like Helmut Rahn. "

For Alsenborn, however, there was also the accidental death of trainer Render in April 1969 this season. Horr and stopper Klaus Schmidt led the training interim in the following weeks and Josef Sattmann's teammates moved into the promotion round for the second time as defending champion from the southwest .
