Athletic career

Rechkemmer began his career at Union Böckingen . With the club he played in the third class 1st amateur league Württemberg in the 1970s . At the end of the 1977/78 season, the team missed the qualification for the newly founded Oberliga Baden-Württemberg . He then moved to VfB Eppingen , who played in the fourth-class Verbandsliga Nordbaden . As a champion, he rose with the club in the league, where the team was surprisingly runner-up behind the amateur team of VfB Stuttgart . Since this was not eligible for promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga, the North Baden club moved up. The second highest German division turned out to be too strong for the club, with seven wins from 38 games at the bottom of the club's direct relegation. Rechkemmer had participated in 28 league games under coach Heiner Ueberle . The rapid rise was followed by sudden relegation - even in the 1981/82 league season , only eight wins of the season were achieved and Rechkemmer was relegated to fourth division with the club. However, he moved within the league to VfR Heilbronn , where he was still active for one season and scored a goal in 21 games.

Later Rechkemmer worked as a coach in Heilbronn amateur football.
