career

Karsten Surmann, who played for JSG Lammetal and SV Wehrstedt 65 as a youth, joined Hannover 96 in 1980 and remained loyal to the Reds as a midfielder until 1992. In his first season in the 2nd Bundesliga North , he made 27 appearances, 18 of them from the start. But only after three seasons with a total of 74 games did he become a regular player in 1983/84 . After the big bloodletting, he was team captain alongside the veteran Franz Gerber who had returned from Canada and was one of the few permanent players at the beginning of the 1984/85 season . Under coach Werner Biskup , the team, which many saw as the “first relegated” at the beginning of the season, achieved a sensational promotion to the 1st Bundesliga .

But at the end of the 1985/86 season , Surmann, who was also one of the regular players in the upper house, experienced direct relegation with Hanover, but also an equally prompt rise in 1986/87 . This was followed by two years of first class, at the end of which Surmann 96 accompanied again into the second division. In his last year for Hanover, Surmann was able to celebrate his greatest success and won the DFB Cup in 1992 with Hanover 96 . The final against Borussia Mönchengladbach was his last competitive game for Hannover 96.

After 260 appearances in the 2nd and 91 in the 1st Bundesliga for Hanover, he moved to league rivals FC St. Pauli , for whom he came again to 28 appearances in the 1992/93 season .

But after only a year he followed Werner Biskup's call again and, like the other Hanoverian heroes of promotion from 1985, Frank Hartmann , Bastian Hellberg and Martin Giesel , went to the second division VfL Osnabrück , where he was the mainstay of the team as captain and sweeper belonged to. First, he and the team qualified for the new Regionalliga Nord . In 1994/95 the return to the 2nd Bundesliga seemed within reach. But on the last day of the match, VfL lost the long-distance duel against VfB Lübeck for promotion. Surmann played a tragic role in the decisive 4-2 defeat at VfB Oldenburg . First he missed a penalty, then he was innocent of both 2: 2 and 2: 3. The final win of the German Amateur Championship in 1995 against the Stuttgarter Kickers was little consolation for the missed promotion.

In his subsequent activity as manager of Hannover 96 in the second division season 1995/96 he failed: For the 96er his term of office ended with relegation to the regional league.

After that, he played for VfV Hildesheim instead , before a cruciate ligament tear reduced his footballing activities to a minimum. Since then he has been working as a real estate agent. He also runs Soccer & Racket Park GmbH , a hall for soccer, tennis, squash and badminton in Hannover-Wülfel, together with his former teammate Frank Hartmann , and is still working as a scout for Hannover 96.

Surmann runs a sports school in Harsum and supports clubs in the Hanover region in training children as trainers.
