career

For the 1947/48 round , the offensive player Kurt Lauxmann came from VfB Kirchheim to Stuttgart and joined the “Blue” in Degerloch . He made his debut on the fourth match day, September 28, 1947, in a 4-0 home win against 1860 Munich in the Oberliga Süd. Lauxmann scored the 1-0 lead for the Kickers in the 28th minute. Together with Edmund Conen , Siegfried Kronenbitter , Hellmut Schmeißer , Günter Sosna and Reinhard Schaletzki , he belonged to the legendary "Hundred Gates Storm" in Degerlochs heights. The Kickers finished third in the south with 113: 58 goals behind champions 1. FC Nürnberg (88:37) and runner-up 1860 Munich with 77:63 goals. The season started on September 6, 1947 and ended with a catch-up game on August 29, 1948, which 1. FC Nuremberg had to contest at Eintracht Frankfurt. The league was occupied by 20 clubs and 38 competitive games were played. The home games against the top teams from Nuremberg (5: 1), 1860 Munich (4: 0) and their local rivals FC Bayern Munich (7: 3) were decided by the Kickers in a sovereign manner. The defeats in the local derbies against VfB (0: 1 and 3: 4) and the relegated Sportfreunde Stuttgart (0: 3), on the other hand, cost at least a place in the final round of the German championship, for which only the top two winners of the Oberliga qualified. The class of the offensive game of the kickers was also evident in the clear successes against VfL Neckarau (9: 0), Schwaben Augsburg (5: 0), Wacker Munich (6: 0), Viktoria Aschaffenburg (5: 0), Waldhof Mannheim ( 5: 1) and the 5: 3 against Rot-Weiss Frankfurt. Lauxmann, the dynamic attacker with outstanding shooting power, distinguished himself as a three-time goalscorer in the games against RW Frankfurt, Bayern Munich and Wacker Munich. With a total of 26 goals, he finished third in the scorers list this season in the south behind Robert Schlienz (31) and Max Morlock (30).

The author and sports journalist Hans Blickensdörfer writes about the "Hundred Gates Storm":

“ I would never want to miss the memory of the overcrowded tram that squeaked down the Neue Weinsteige into the city that greeted with sad ruins. There sat and stood hot arguing men and adolescents, whose eyes did not shine from alcohol, and on their tongues they let goals melt that were nowhere more beautiful and more numerous than in Degerloch. It is a pity that there is no videotape that could enlighten people who only know the athletic hiccups of our day about the sophistication with which goals were produced in this square when you could not look down from a television tower. "

After only one season, Lauxmann moved to Tübingen to study dentistry, where he joined the local Tübinger SV . In the two rounds of 1948/49 and 1949/50, the Red-Yellows in the right bank of the Rhine part of the French occupation zone belonged to the group south of the Oberliga Südwest . The goals of the dangerous attacker Lauxmann helped the sports club to two runners-up championships. In 1949 behind the champions Fortuna Freiburg (behind them the old champions Freiburg FC hid) and in 1950 behind SSV Reutlingen. The multiple student national player joined TSV 1860 Munich after two years in Tübingen for round 1950/51 and thus returned to the Oberliga Süd. Like Max Morlock, he also met the moonlight with the Lions and proved his ability to score goals with 29 hits in a further 64 league appearances. In the seasons 1950/51 and 1951/52 he was part of the regular cast of the Sechzger . 1952/53 he played less than half of the games and could not prevent TSV from being relegated at the end of the season. The dentist completed his last competitive game in the Oberliga Süd on April 26, 1953 in a 5-2 home win against 1. FC Nuremberg, where he also distinguished himself as a goalscorer. After relegation, Lauxmann stayed in Munich for another year and scored eight goals in 19 games in the II. Division South.
