Karl-Heinz Marx (born March 3, 1923 , † December 12, 1964 in East Berlin ) was a German soccer player and soccer coach in the GDR soccer game .

Athletic career

Karl-Heinz Marx started his footballing career in the national game operation in the 1950/51 season with the company sports association (BSG) KWU / Turbine Weimar . From the 1st to the 26th league game in Weimar , he played all league games in which he was used alternately without scoring a goal in midfield as in defense. In the last eight point games, Marx was no longer in the squad of the BSG KWU.

At the beginning of the 1951/52 season, Marx appeared at the upper division Stahl Thale . He only stayed in Thale for one season. Of the 36 league games played, he completed 28 games in which he switched between midfield and attack. Also in this season Marx remained without a goal.

Karl-Heinz Marx's next and last stop in high-class football was BSG Motor Gera , which was also represented in the major league and where Marx played four seasons. In 1952/53 BSG Motor had to compete in 32 league games, in which Marx was called up 30 times. Again he had to get used to a different game system and now played almost exclusively in midfield. At the end of the season, the Geraer were relegated from the league, and Marx had to spend the next few seasons in the second-rate GDR league . His first GDR league season was relatively successful, as he was used in 23 of the 26 league games and also scored his only goal in the career segment described here. After Marx had only played 16 of the 26 league games in 1954/55 and was only used in seven of the thirteen game days in the 1955 transition , Karl-Heinz Marx ended his career as a football player in the performance area in the winter of 1955.

As a recreational soccer player and player coach , he then initially worked for the lower-class BSG Chemie in Rudolstadt . In the 1961/62 season he replaced Horst Sokoll as coach at GDR league club BSG Chemie Wolfen , but worsened the team from fourth place last year to eleventh place and lost his post at the end of the season. Marx then moved to TSC Oberschöneweide in East Berlin , where he became an assistant coach for the GDR league team. He held this post until his sudden death in December 1964.
