career

In the summer of 1951, Karl Bögelein moved from FC Bamberg from the II. Division to VfB Stuttgart in the South Football League . VfB needed a successor to the long-time goalkeeper, the legendary Otto "Gummi" Schmid . Coach Georg Wurzer relied on the skills he had already shown in the second division, on his athleticism and the ambition to be able to play for the German championship with the new club. In 1952 VfB won the German championship with Bögelein in the goal and in 1954 he also guarded the goal when winning the DFB Cup . In the DM finals in 1952 he presented himself in absolute form, brought the opposing attackers to desperation with his parades, especially in the final against 1. FC Saarbrücken, and after the 3-2 win he was allowed to be the “final hero “Let celebrate. The "penalty killer", which also shone in several representative games for the south, played 166 times in the Oberliga Süd for Stuttgart from 1951 to 1957 . He then moved to SSV Reutlingen 05 and was in goal in another 154 games in this league until 1963.

Bögelein was used once (on December 23, 1951) in the A national team and in 1953 in the B selection of the DFB. On October 13, 1951, he was in Stuttgart at the representative game between South Germany and South West Germany in the goal of the South Elf, who won 3-2 goals. On November 21, 1951, he was a substitute goalkeeper for the national team at the international match against Turkey in Istanbul. Finally, he made his debut on December 23, 1951 in Essen in the international match against Luxembourg in the national team. In addition to the VfB goalkeeper, Erich Juskowiak , Hans Bauer , Heinz Wewers , Georg Stollenwerk and Willi Schröder also made their debut . After the international match against Luxembourg, there were further selection appointments - April 20, 1952 with southern Germany against Berlin; in the squad for the international matches against France (October 5, 1952 in Paris) and Switzerland (November 9, 1952 in Augsburg); Game on November 23, 1952 in Homburg in a DFB selection against a Saar selection; in other international matches against Yugoslavia (December 21, 1952 in Ludwigshafen), Spain (December 28, 1952 in Madrid), Saarland (October 11, 1953 in Stuttgart) on the reserve bench - but he couldn't get past Toni Turek from Fortuna Düsseldorf and therefore voluntarily renounced further invitations to the DFB.

The conditions for playing football have not been ideal for him since the Second World War . In 1944 in Montenegro all of his toes were frozen to death, only three toes on his left foot could be saved. From then on he played with special shoes. In total, Bögelein played 198 games for VfB Stuttgart from 1951 to 1957: 166 in the soccer Oberliga Süd , 23 in the finals for the German championship and eight in the DFB Cup.

At the end of his playing career, he returned to VfB Stuttgart as an amateur and youth coach.
