Katrin Prühs

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Katrin Prühs , née Erdmann , (born January 9, 1962 in Rostock ) is a former German soccer player . In 1990 she was named soccer player of the year in the GDR.

Career

Prühs was one of the best female soccer players in the GDR at the time . As early as 1979, at the age of 17, she was part of the BSG Post Rostock team , which came third in the first GDR assessment of the best in women's football ; with several goals she had contributed to this success. At that time she was still playing under her maiden name Erdmann. In the 1980s she kept her form and scored many goals for her club, which was able to place itself among the best GDR teams. In 1990 she won the double from the last GDR championship and cup competition . In the final of the GDR championship on July 1, 1990, she scored two goals in the Rostock Ostseestadion and thus contributed significantly to the 4-2 victory against Wismut Chemnitz.

After the political turning point , she played the 1990/91 season in the newly established Oberliga Nordost which was finished fourth at the end of the season and thus missed qualification for the 1991/92 Bundesliga . In 1991 she joined Hansa Rostock with the women's soccer department ; In 1993 she moved with the police department at SV Rostock in the then second-rate Regionalliga Nordost , from which she emerged as champion at the end of the 1994/95 season and rose to the Bundesliga , which was divided into two groups for the first time . In the two seasons she scored 66 goals and became the record scorer of her team. But at the end of the 1995/96 season , when she was 33 years old when she was one of the top performers, she was relegated from the North group as ninth out of ten teams. With the team she reached the round of 16 in the DFB-Pokal 95/96 , but was eliminated from the competition after victories over Hamburger SV and SG Thumby on penalties against VfR 09 Saarbrücken . In 2007 , at the age of 45, she played again for Tennis Borussia Berlin in the 2nd Bundesliga , and also scored a few goals again, which was presented as a spectacular comeback in an article in Focus . A cruciate ligament rupture in May 2007 forced her to finally end all of her further sporting ambitions.

National team

Prühs worked under coach Bernd Schröder in the only international match of the GDR national team , which lost 3-0 on May 9, 1990 in the Karl Liebknecht Stadium in Potsdam 's Babelsberg district against the national team of the ČSFR in front of about 800 spectators.
