career

In the west until 1967

The talented defensive player Klaus Bockisch came from the Landesliga Westfalen from Lüner SV for the 1960/61 round to Preußen Münster in the football league West . Coach Kuno Klötzer first used the newcomer on August 21, 1960 at the home game against Rot-Weiß Oberhausen in the West German football club. At the side of fellow players Harald Beyer , Falk Dörr , Herbert Eiteljörge and Hermann Lulka , he completed 25 league games and scored a goal for Münster. In his first year, the defensive player, who is strong in the field and in duels, finished ninth in the league with the Prussians. In the last two years of the Oberliga era, 1961/62 and 1962/63, the man from Lünen established himself as the indispensable support of the Münster defense. With coach Richard Schneider , fourth place was achieved in 1963, Bockisch had played all 30 games, and the DFB nominated Münster together with 1. FC Cologne, Borussia Dortmund, FC Schalke 04 and Meidericher SV for the 1963/64 round for the new football -Bundesliga. The runner-up with Dagmar Drewes , Bockisch and Werner Lungwitz was also built for the Bundesliga. From 1960 to 1963 Bockisch had completed 84 games in the Oberliga West and scored five goals.

Münster celebrated its Bundesliga debut with center runner Bockisch on August 24, 1963 with the home game against Hamburger SV . The game ended 1: 1 in front of a sold out house and Bockisch had shown his defensive qualities to the full in the duels against national center forward Uwe Seeler . One point behind, 23:37 compared to 24:36, behind the two competitors Hertha BSC and Karlsruher SC , Münster was relegated 15th at the end of the round from the Bundesliga with a goal difference of 34:52 goals. Due to the weak offensive - the fewest goals scored in the round - the reliable defense around Bockisch and colleagues - Dortmund in fourth and Hamburg in sixth in the final table had received more goals than Münster - could not prevent relegation. After the end of the round, a long previously planned multi-week trip to the Far East was carried out with the stops in Hong Kong, Singapore, Sydney, Wellington, Melbourne, Fiji Islands and the highlight of the trip, a four-day stay in Tahiti.

In the three following rounds from 1964/65 to 1966/67, Bockisch and Münster attempted in vain to return to the Bundesliga. Despite the talents of Klaus Ackermann and Erwin Kostedde , sixth place in 1966 was the best result of the effort. He played 92 games for Münster from 1964 to 1967 in the Regionalliga West and scored five goals. He signed for the 1967/68 round - an almost certain contract with Alemannia Aachen had failed at the last minute due to excessive transfer demands from the Münster team - a new contract with the southern regional league club FC Villingen 08 and moved from the Münsterland to the Black Forest. In total, he made 206 league appearances for Münster in which he scored 13 goals.

In the south, 1967 to 1972

The tall defensive specialist immediately took on a leading role in the black and white team from the Stadion am Friedengrund and became the unrestricted defense chief of the 08 back team. He also made a name for himself with his shooting power. His powerful direct free kicks were feared by the opposing "walls" as well as the goalkeepers. Bockisch completed his first round game for Villingen on August 13, 1967 in a 2-2 away draw against the Stuttgarter Kickers in the South Regional Football League . In the 1969/70 season he achieved the best placement with coach Rudolf Fassnacht and his teammates in ninth place. Outstanding was the 3-1 home win on November 16, 1969 in front of 11,000 spectators against the later champions and promoted Kickers Offenbach . Against their offensive strength with the Kremers twins Erwin and Helmut , Walter Bechtold , Horst Gecks and Egon Schmitt , the still existing class of liberos with cult status in the Friedengrund came into their own. After the round 1971/72, the 08ers were relegated with 28:44 points, Klaus Bockisch ended his playing career after 142 regional league appearances with nine goals for Villingen.

Bockish, he made Villingen his new home and celebrated his 70th birthday here on December 5, 2008, remained connected to the zero eight and made himself available to the black and white four times as a coach and player coach after his career ended. In 2018 Bockisch died in the Schwarzwald-Baar-Klinikum in Donaueschingen .
