Career

Karl Kanhäuser was one of the three Kanhäuser brothers who made a significant contribution to one of the most successful eras of the Viennese sports club . After the First World War, he became a regular player as a center forward for the first time from 1919, whereby brother Edi was already a one-man goal and his brother Hans had also found a place in the connector position. In 1921 all three stood together for the first time in the ÖFB Cup final , which, however, went to the amateurs . A year later, the championship title was brought to Dornach for the first time in 1921/22 , and in 1923 Karl Kanhäuser ultimately also won the cup.

During the successful sports club period between 1921 and 1924, Karl Kanhäuser also made a total of five appearances in the Austrian national team . He made his debut against Sweden on March 26, 1921. His most impressive appearance was probably on May 20, 1924, when he scored three goals in a 4-1 victory over Romania .

In the emerging age of professional football, he became a courted player. During the first season of the new Czechoslovak professional league in 1925, he was committed by the former Austrian national player Robert Cimera coached DFC Prague . Karl Kanhäuser remained active for the blue and white of Prague for over a decade. After he was no longer called up by the Austrian side, he ran in the Czechoslovak national team in 1931 against Hungary and a short time later made a surprising appearance against Austria in the European Cup , which was crowned with a 1: 2 but not successful. According to information from his son (interview in Vienna 2010) Towards the end of the Second World War, Kanhäuser, who continued to live with his family in Prague, was drafted into the Wehrmacht and deployed in Yugoslavia. He has been missing since then.
