In the 1980s Rummenigge was considered one of the best players in the world. With the German national team he became European champion in 1980 and led them as team captain to the World Cup finals in 1982 and 1986 and at the European championship in 1984.

From 1991 to 2002 he was Vice President and since 2002 he has been CEO of FC Bayern München AG . He was also chairman of the European Club Association from 2008 to 2017 .

youth

Rummenigge's father was active at Borussia Lippstadt and transferred his enthusiasm for football to his sons Wolfgang , Karl-Heinz and Michael . Karl-Heinz and Michael joined Borussia and were promoted in football in the youth department. Karl-Heinz Rummenigge first noticed in a C youth game when he scored 16 goals in a 32-0 win. Although he was considered a great talent from an early age, he did not make the leap into a national youth selection, but only into the Westphalia eleven .

Career in the club

Promotion at Bayern Munich

In 1974 Rummenigge received an offer from the German champions FC Bayern Munich . The 18-year-old broke off an apprenticeship as a banker and moved from Lippstadt to Bayern for a monthly salary of 8,000  DM . Their star Franz Beckenbauer had little left for the new purchase and commented: “There will never be one.” But Rummenigge, who at that time was considered very shy and was often ridiculed as “red cheek”, prevailed under coach Udo Lattek . In his first season he played 21 Bundesliga games and scored five times; with his club he finished tenth. In 1975 Bayern won the European Champion Clubs' Cup , Rummenigge was used continuously until the semi-finals.

In the following season Rummenigge earned a regular place on the offensive of Munich and defended with his teammates in 1976 the title in the European Cup by a 1-0 victory over AS Saint-Étienne . Bayern then defeated Cruzeiro Belo Horizonte in the 1976 World Cup . It was Rummenigge's third title in the Bayern dress.

In his early days at Bayern Munich, Rummenigge did his basic military service with the heavy pioneer training battalion 210 in Munich.

Leading player at Bayern

Rummenigge (1982)

Rummenigge was from now on a regular player and successfully supported striker Gerd Müller in attack. At the end of the 1970s, Sepp Maier , Franz Beckenbauer and Gerd Müller left the team and left a big gap at Bayern. The club was seventh in 1977 and twelfth in 1978 in the Bundesliga. Meanwhile, Rummenigge developed under the coaches Dettmar Cramer and later Gyula Lóránt football and personality and was soon recognized as a leading player in the team. In 1978 Paul Breitner returned to FC Bayern, who got along “blindly” with the winger Rummenigge on the field and enabled him to play good scenes with long passes. In 1980 Bayern won the German championship again after six years , with Rummenigge becoming the top scorer with 26 goals . After this season he was voted Germany's and Europe's Footballer of the Year .

In 1981 Bayern defended the title, with 29 goals for the season Rummenigge set his personal best and was again top scorer. At the zenith of his skills, he was once again named Europe's Footballer of the Year and was considered one of the best players in the world in the early 1980s. In 1982 , the club was in the final of the European Cup, where he lost with Bayern to the English representative Aston Villa with 0: 1. In this game Rummenigge missed a number of high-profile opportunities. At the national level, further titles followed with two wins in the DFB Cup in 1982 and 1984 and Rummenigge secured the top scorer for the third time in 1984 with 26 goals .

From 1981 to 1984 he played for Bayern together with his younger brother Michael Rummenigge .

Rummenigge scored 162 goals in 310 Bundesliga games, the second most goals for Bayern in the Bundesliga after Gerd Müller. He scored 30 goals for his team in 64 European Cup matches.

Inter Milan

In 1984 Rummenigge moved to the Italian club Inter Milan , who paid an estimated ten to eleven million marks to Bayern. At the time, this was the second-highest transfer fee in the world, which was only exceeded by the transfer of Diego Maradonas , who moved from FC Barcelona to SSC Napoli in the same year for 24 million marks . The expectations of Rummenigge in Italy were high, not least because of the enormous transfer fee, should he lead the team back to the championship . But he could no longer deliver his maximum performance - although he scored 24 goals in 64 games, his time in Serie A was marked by many injuries. He won no titles with Inter.

Servette Geneva

After three years in Italy, he joined Servette Geneva in Switzerland in 1987 . Here he let his career come to an end and in 1989 he was the top scorer of the National League A with 24 goals . He ended his playing career in the summer of 1989 at the age of 33.

Career in the national team

On September 2, 1975 Rummenigge played for the first time in the jersey of the national team; with the B selection he won 2-0 against Austria in Augsburg. October 6, 1976 he made his debut in the senior team at the 2: 0 win over Wales . Two years later, national coach Helmut Schön nominated the young winger for the 1978 World Cup in Argentina . In the opening game Rummenigge had to let Schalke Rüdiger Abramczik go first. In the second game against Mexico Rummenigge was used and scored two goals; thereby he played his way into the regular formation. He scored a third goal in the game against Austria , which later went down in German football history as the " Disgrace of Córdoba "; Germany was eliminated from the tournament with a 2-3 defeat.

In 1980 he became European champion with the national team in Italy . He scored a goal, and in the final he prepared the winning goal with a corner kick to make it 2-1 by strike partner Horst Hrubesch .

After this personal year of success - he had previously become German champion and top scorer in the Bundesliga with FC Bayern - he also made claims as a leading player in the national team. In 1981 he was appointed team captain by Schön's successor Jupp Derwall .

At the 1982 World Cup finals in Spain , Rummenigge played a strong tournament as the new captain and scored five goals, including a hat-trick in the 4-1 game against Chile . The horrified exclamation of France's President François Mitterrand became legendary when the battered Rummenigge came on after a 2-1 deficit in extra time in the semi-finals between Germany and France (" Night of Seville "): "Mon dieu, Rümmenisch!" the Substitutes he shared with the professional world as Rummenigge in the intermediate round match against Spain at half-time with a suspected hamstring had been replaced. Rummenigge, after the French were in the lead 3-1 in the meantime, shot the connecting goal to 2: 3 and thus initiated the turning point in a dramatic game that was won on penalties after Klaus Fischer equalized ( goal of 1982). The subsequent final against Italy was disappointing for Rummenigge: He had to be replaced after 70 minutes injured and Italy defeated Germany 3-1. Rummenigge was voted the third best player in the tournament.

He played his third World Cup in Mexico in 1986 under team boss Franz Beckenbauer , with whom he had played at Bayern Munich years earlier. Rummenigge was handicapped from injuries right from the start, did not travel to the finals in top form and only played two games over the full distance. Like four years before, Germany reached the final, now against Argentina . After Germany fell 2-0 down, Rummenigge scored the 1: 2 in the 74th minute, Rudi Völler a little later the 2: 2. In the end, however, the South Americans around Diego Maradona won 3-2. After the final, Rummenigge resigned as team captain and ended his career in the DFB jersey after 95 international matches and 45 goals.

Rummenigge was 51 times captain of the DFB-Elf and from June 29, 1986 to December 18, 1993 record captain, before he was outbid by Lothar Matthäus .
