Athletic career

In December 1949 the German Sports Committee of the GDR conducted an 18-day course for soccer trainers in Leipzig under the direction of ex-national player Helmut Schön . Kurt Findeisen from Halle was among the 30 participants, each well-known soccer player .

For the first time as a coach in the GDR-wide soccer game operation, Findeisen appeared in the 1950/51 season at the company sports community (BSG) Mechanik Jena . As they were promoted to the second-rate GDR league, the Jenaers experienced a turbulent season with several coach changes. As fourth in a row, Kurt Findeisen took over the BSG Mechanik at the end of the season and secured her relegation. In 1951/52 he consolidated the team, which was now running as BSG Motor, and led them to promotion to the GDR league. The BSG Motor was not up to the top league, however. After just eight game days of the 1952/53 season, there was a falling out between the BSG and Findeisen, as a result of which he was replaced as coach.

Findisen moved to BSG Motor Süd Brandenburg , whose soccer team had just been promoted to the GDR league. In their first season in 1953 he led them to sixth place out of thirteen teams. After the first half of the 1953/54 season, BSG Motor Süd was last in the table and Findeisen was dismissed. In the 1954/55 season he took over the newly promoted East German league BSG Motor Warnowwerft Warnemünde . With him he reached 9th place, which was not enough to qualify for the GDR league in 1956, as the league was reduced from three seasons to one season. The last stop in high-class football was the BSG Rotation Babelsberg. Findisen took over the GDR Oberliga team in the fall of 1955 when a transition round to change to the calendar year system was held in GDR football . In his plan to rejuvenate the aging team, he encountered considerable resistance and gave up coaching after the end of the transition period.

Then he did not appear in the higher leagues. In the seasons 1958 and 1959 he coached the BSG Motor Süd Brandenburg again in the third class II. GDR league .
