Athletic career

Klaus Büchner played for the second-rate GDR league club BSG Chemie Agfa Wolfen until 1955 . As an 18-year-old he was Wolfens top scorer in 1955 with 14 goals. As a result, he was accepted into the squad of the GDR junior national team. With the junior team he played four internationals in 1955, including an encounter with the DFB junior team , in which he scored his only international goal in the 1: 2 defeat. In autumn 1955 u. a. In the GDR league, a 13-game transition round to switch to the calendar year game rhythm in GDR football can be completed. Büchner initially played ten games for Wolfen, in which he continued to prove his accuracy with six goals.

As a junior national player and successful goalscorer, he drew the attention of SC Chemie Halle-Leuna, the football focus in the Halle district and relegated from the GDR upper league, and the club arranged for Büchner to be delegated to his team during the transition period . Büchner played the last two transition games in the GDR league for SC Chemie and successfully scored three goals. In the following GDR league season in 1956, Büchner played 23 of the 26 point games and with his 17 goals was one of the most successful strikers in Halle. Nevertheless, Büchner switched back to BSG Chemie Wolfen before the end of the season, which had since dropped the addition of Agfa. There he was used in the last three league games. On December 16, 1956, Büchner returned once more for a game at SC Chemie Halle-Leuna. It was the final of the GDR soccer cup that the Halle residents won 2-1 against ZASK Vorwärts Berlin . Büchner was used as a left winger and scored the opening goal in the 18th minute.

Büchner continued to play in Wolfen in the 1957 to 1959 seasons in the GDR league. During this time he came in a total of 78 league games on 68 appearances and with his 52 goals was the top scorer of his team. In 1958 he was appointed to the squad of the GDR youth national team and played three international matches with her. For the 1960 season, Büchner made another change and joined the league rivals BSG Wismut Gera . There he continued his scoring danger and was again top scorer of his team with 17 (1960) and 22 goals (1961/62, return to the summer-spring game rhythm) and landed in second place on the league scorers list. Büchner played 52 of the 65 point games in these two seasons (1961/62 39). In 1960 Büchner came back to selection apprenticeships when he played two international matches with the B national team.

Towards the end of the 1961/62 season, three regular attackers had failed at the top division club SC Wismut Karl-Marx-Stadt and from April 1962 there was a lull in the storm. Then the SC Wismut borrowed from the central sports association Wismut Klaus Büchner from the Geraer BSG of the same name. Büchner was used in the last two league game days as a center forward, but could not resolve the storm of the league club.

At the beginning of the 1962/63 season, Büchner returned to the GDR division BSG Wismut Gera and continued to score goals there until the end of the 1964/65 season. In his 73 league appearances (out of a total of 78) he scored 39 goals and was again the team's best scorer in all three seasons. In 1964/65 he helped Wismut Gera to rise to the GDR league, but then ended his career in competitive sports. Until 1968 he was still with the 2nd team of Wismut Gera in the third-class district league Gera and helped her in 1967 and 1968 to the district championship.
