Athletic career

At the age of eight, Karl-Heinz Schröder began his career as a football player at SV Nowawes 03 . As a goalkeeper he was part of the Nowawes men's team from 1935, with whom he played in the Gauliga Berlin-Brandenburg until relegation in 1938 .

After the end of the Second World War , he played for a short time each with Holstein Kiel and VfR Mannheim until he returned to Nowawes-Babelsberg in 1947. There, SV Nowawes had already been dissolved in 1945 at the behest of the Soviet occupying forces, and the Sportgemeinschaft (SG) Babelsberg was founded in its place, which Schröder joined. With her he became Brandenburg vice football champion in 1948. The SG qualified for the 1st East Zone Championship. With Schröder in goal, the Babelsbergers were eliminated at the beginning of the elimination game against SG Meerane with 0: 1. In 1949, SG Babelsberg won the Brandenburg championship with Schröder, but retired in their first game with 1: 3 against Meerane in the 2nd East Zone Championship .

As national champions, however, the Babelsbergers had qualified for participation in the newly founded soccer league of the German Sports Committee . At the start of the first season of what is now the highest football league in the Eastern Zone , which was later held under the name of the GDR Oberliga , and in which the SG now took on as a company sports community (BSG) Märkische Volksstimme (later BSG rotation), Karl-Heinz Schröder was named Goalkeeper number one reported. He defended this status until 1954 by playing 129 of the 156 league games played in five seasons. After Schröder had already suffered several failures in the 1953/54 season, the now 35-year-old announced his resignation at the end of the season. However, he helped out in another ten league games until 1957, so that he came to 139 league appearances in the end. There are also several district selection games.

After his football career, Schröder worked as a trainer for the BSG Rotation and, among other things, looked after the first team in the 1961/62 season, which after some turmoil had landed in the third-class, 2nd GDR league . In 1986 he was awarded the highest honor of the GDR football association , the plaque of honor. The successor club to the BSG rotation, SV Babelsberg 03, appointed Karl-Heinz Schröder as honorary chairman in 1998.
