Karl-Heinz Wohlfahrt (born June 16, 1924 - April 11, 1983 ) was a German football player. He played in the first game of the GDR national soccer team.
Welfare's football career began during the Second World War at the local football club FC Germany Forst. When, after the war in East Germany and later in the GDR, an attempt was made to organize sport and especially football in completely new ways, turning away from the previous club system under sometimes chaotic circumstances. Wohlfahrt also belonged to the generation that, because of the war, was only able to take up active sport relatively late. In 1947 he was in the final of the Brandenburg soccer championship with SG Forst-Mitte , despite the interim 2-2 equalization by Wohlfahrt, Forst lost the final 2-3 against SG Cottbus-Ost . For the coming season he switched to this final opponent and won the Brandenburg state championship with Cottbus in 1947/48 . When the team in 1950, now appearing as the company sports association (BSG) Textil Cottbus, again failed to qualify for the highest East German football league , Wohlfahrt and his teammates Harry Adam and Johannes Schöne went to the Brandenburg competitor Rotation Babelsberg , who had been in the league since 1949 was represented.
Wohlfahrt spent his most successful time as a football player in Babelsberg . From 102 point games of the BSG rotation in the seasons from 1950/51 to 1952/53, he was used in 87 matches as a defender and scored six goals. In 1952 he stood out for particularly good performances, so that he was nominated for the first game of the GDR national team , which took place on September 21, 1952 in Warsaw against Poland. He was called up as a right defender, but suffered a 3-0 defeat. Also in the following international match on October 26, 1952, Wohlfahrt, again playing in the right defensive position, lost 3-1 to Romania in Bucharest. There were no more international appearances, but Wohlfahrt could claim to have been Babelsberg's first national player.
After the 1952/53 season , Wohlfahrt Rotation left Babelsberg and returned to his native Cottbus. There he joined the BSG Lokomotive Cottbus playing in the third class district league . In 1955 , Wohlfahrt went again for eleven games in the major league for the newly promoted BSG Progress Meerane . He then returned to BSG Progress Cottbus, where he had already played at the beginning of his career, then under the team name SG Cottbus-Ost. Now the team played in the now fourth-rate district league, and Wohlfahrt was the player-coach there for three years. After a year, the team relegated to the district class, and in 1958 the 34-year-old completed his last season as a player with local rivals Lok Cottbus. He stayed there as a coach, initially for the fifth-rate reserve team. In 1960 he took over the third-class first team from Lok Cottbus.
