Karsten Petersohn

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Karsten Petersohn (born September 10, 1957 in Dresden ) was a soccer player in Dresden and Bischofswerda . He played for Dynamo Dresden and progress Bischofswerda in the GDR Oberliga , the highest East German division. With Dynamo Dresden he was twice GDR champion. He later worked as a football coach.

Dynamo Dresden

At the age of 14, Petersohn, son of the former Dresden league player Eberhard Petersohn , joined the youth department of SG Dynamo Dresden in 1971. After going through the youth and junior teams, he was first used in league games in 1977. The 1.88 m tall sports teacher student played his first league game on March 12, 1977 in the 18th matchday between Carl Zeiss Jena and Dynamo Dresden (0-2) as a right winger. Overall, Petersohn came to three league appearances in the 1976/77 season, but was part of the championship team of the season. In the 1977/78 season he contributed five games to the Dresden championship win. In the following seasons he did not get beyond the status of a substitute player and initially never played more than five point games in the league. In 1978 he was used in the European Cup game Dynamo Dresden - Partizan Belgrade (5: 4 nE) in the last five minutes. It was only after Dynamo Dresden had dismissed three regular players in the 1980/81 season for attempting “ illegal border crossing ” that Petersohn got better and completed 18 league games in this season. In the 1981/82 season he was only used twice when he was replacing Hartmut Schade who was not ready to play . After that, his situation seemed to improve again when he played four games in a row as Libero for the injured Hans-Jürgen Dörner in the first half of the season towards the end of the season, in addition to two league appearances and the European Cup match BK Copenhagen - Dynamo Dresden (2-1) completed. However, those responsible for Dynamo no longer relied on Petersohn, first relocating him to the regional league team Dynamo II for 1983/84 and finally delegating him one year later.

Progress in Bischofswerda

After Petersohn had played 40 league games within seven years and scored six goals, he joined the second division community progress Bischofswerda at the beginning of the 1984/85 season . There he immediately established himself as a regular player and played 31 of the 34 point games played. In the 1985/86 season he was involved with 29 missions and five goals in promotion to the league. In his seventh league season, the first in Bischofswerda, Petersohn completed all 26 point games, usually as a pre-stopper . The East Saxons could not hold their own in the first class and played again from 1987/88 in the GDR league . Petersohn remained a regular player until he ended his career as a footballer at the end of the 1988/89 season.

Trainer

Since he was already in possession of the sports teacher diploma, he took over the training of the junior league team from progress Bischofswerda in 1989. In the summer of 1990 Petersohn returned to Dresden and became a football player again at Dresdner SC . With the DSC he succeeded in the following two seasons of promotion in the state league and in the then third-class amateur league . He then became a coach at DSC, where he mainly worked as an assistant coach - apart from brief phases in 1994 and 2001/02, in which he was head coach. Most recently he coached the 2nd team of the DSC. From the summer of 2004 he was a trainer for the district league team Radebeuler BC 08 , with whom he was promoted to the sixth-class Landesliga Sachsen in 2009 .
