career

BFC Südring Berlin, 1947 to 1959

Basikow, who came from the youth of the BFC Südring Berlin , still played center forward as a B-youth when he helped out in goal and his talent on a Berlin DFB inspection course in Wannsee (under the direction of Sepp Herberger , Fritz Walter , Dettmar Cramer and Georg Gawliczek ) has been discovered.

As a goalkeeper, the trained lathe operator rose with the BFC team in 1956 as a master of the Berlin Amateur League in the Berlin City League. As a Berlin representative, Südring took part in the games for the German amateur championship, but failed in the semifinals at the later German amateur champion Spvgg. 03 Neu-Isenburg . The climber rose as 11th after the 1956/57 season - Basikow had guarded the BFC goal in 17 out of 22 games - straight back to the amateur camp. In the year of the soccer world championship in 1958 Südring succeeded with goalkeeper Basikow as runner-up in the renewed promotion to the city league.

The 20-year-old Berlin goalkeeper was nominated twice this season for the German national soccer team of amateurs . On October 12, 1957, the international match against England took place in Ilford. The DFB team won the friendly game with 3-2 goals. Willi Gerdau and Karl-Heinz Schnellinger held the position of defense. The second international match against France on May 4, 1958 in Le Mans was lost with 2: 4 goals. Despite the experienced center runner and captain Herbert Schäfer , the defense could not convince.

In his second year in the city league with BFC Südring, 1958/59, Basikow completed all 33 competitive games. The efforts of the teammates Kurt Podratz and Peter Schlesinger could not prevent the relegation. The team from the Katzbachstadion in Dudenstrasse was relegated to the amateur league and Klaus Basikow accepted the offer from Tasmania Berlin and remained in the city league.

Tasmania Berlin, 1959 to 1966

With Tasmania Basikow was able to celebrate the championship in the Berlin City League in 1960 and 1962. In the finals of the German football championship, however, it was not used, Hans-Joachim Posinski successfully defended his regular place in the Tas housing. Only in the fourth round, 1962/63, was he able to dispute the place for “Jockel” Posinski with 14 appearances. In total, Basikow played 41 league games for Tasmania from 1959 to 1963. On September 12, 1962 he came to a use in the trade fair cup in the 3-2 defeat at DOS Utrecht .

In the two rounds of Regionalliga Berlin, 1963/64 and 1964/65 , Basikow was the undisputed number one goal in Tasmania. When he won the championship in 1964, he played 27 games, when the defending champion landed in third place in 1965, he played 26 games. In the Bundesliga promotion round in 1964, he played all six games against Borussia Neunkirchen , St. Pauli and Bayern Munich . Outstanding were the two home wins against Borussia Neunkirchen (5: 1) and Bayern Munich. The Munich team lost in front of 40,000 spectators on June 24, 1964 with 0: 3 goals in Berlin. He played a total of 53 regional league games for Tasmania.

Since Hertha BSC was transferred from the Bundesliga in 1965 for violating the statute for licensed players, the DFB accepted Tasmania Berlin for the 1965/66 round as Berlin representative in the Bundesliga. Without any sporting prerequisites, nothing changed the commitment of Horst Szymaniak , it was a disaster for the club and the players. The round started hopefully on August 14, 1965 in front of 81,000 spectators with the 2-0 home win against Karlsruher SC, Basikow guarded the goal, so at the end of the round there were a depressing 8:60 points on the credit side of the relegated Tasmania. Basikow, who was badly injured in his back while warming up before his start on matchday two against Borussia Mönchengladbach , had played another thirteen games after the start day. When he last played in the Bundesliga on March 26, 1966, 1,500 spectators were still in the stadium. In retrospect, Klaus Basikow, who had survived the game only with painkillers, was certainly happy about it, Meidericher SV won the game in Berlin with 9-0 goals - the highest home defeat of a team in the Bundesliga to date.

Trainer and functionary

Already during the Bundesliga season 1965/66 Basikow acquired the B license as a football coach . After he ended his active career as a player in 1966, he took over the coaching position at the BBC Southeast. In 1976, from Meppen, where he worked as a trainer, he added his A license to the German Sport University in Cologne . In 1969 he was promoted to the amateur league with the BBC Südost and in 1972 was Berlin champion and cup winner with Wacker 04. Klaus Basikow's last full-time coaching engagement was at Tennis Borussia Berlin in 1977, before he started another training for the Berlin administration. After being accepted into the Berlin Senate Service, he only worked part-time as a football teacher. Klaus Basikow died on March 5, 2015 in Berlin.
