Kurt Moonshine

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kurt Mondschein (born March 22, 1926 , † January 14, 2009 in Puchheim ) was a German football player. He played for TSV 1860 Munich from 1949 to 1959. The right half-forward came in this time to 118 league games (42 goals) in the Oberliga Süd and 86 games (52 goals) in the 2nd League South .

career

The technically adept half-forward "Kurti" Mondschein made his debut on October 30, 1949 in the away game of the "Löwen" at Kickers Offenbach in the Oberliga Süd. He came in his first league year 1949/50 on only three missions in the team of coach Max Schäfer . The “blues” took ninth place and Georg Pledl , Franz Hammerl , Helmut Seemann , Helmut Fottner , Max Link , Engelbert Schmidhuber and Otto Thanner formed the circle of regular players. From the second league year, 1950/51, he formed the right attacking side of the "lions" together with right winger Ludwig Zausinger . Due to their small body size - both were smaller than 1.70 m - the storm duo was also known as the "Zwergerl-Sturm" in 1860. Already on the first round match day, August 20, 1950, they successfully messed up the defense of Swabian Augsburg in a 2-0 home win. The agile and tricky offensive player played his first league game against the “Reds” from FC Bayern on November 12, 1950 in front of 35,000 spectators in the stadium on Grünwalder Strasse . He contributed the third “Löwen” goal to the 3-2 success of his team. The filigree technician was also one of the top scorers in the unexpectedly high 6-0 away win at the front runner 1. FC Nürnberg on December 10, 1950. He also impressively demonstrated his combination of dribbling skills in connection with hit quality in the 8-1 home win on February 18, 1951 against SSV Reutlingen. He ended the hit sequence with a hat trick by scoring the goals to 6: 1, 7: 1 and 8: 1. 1860 Munich was only sixth in the Oberliga Süd at the end of the round, but had the most scoring attack with 97:67 goals. Mondschein scored twelve goals in 24 league games alongside his offensive colleagues Zausinger (28-5), Thanner (18-13), Fottner (26-18), Link (28-13), Kurt Lauxmann (25-12).

With the new trainer Fred Harthaus , the 1952/53 round increased the focus on their own offspring. With center forward Ernst Wechselberger (17-13) a talent was able to make a name for itself straight away, but the upheaval ended - also aided by massive injuries - in a disaster. The moonshine, mostly used in the half-forward positions, could not prevent relegation with his nine hits in 26 league matches. With a 5-2 home win on April 26, 1953 against 1. FC Nürnberg, the “Löwen” finished the round as penultimate and were relegated to the II. Division. Now Max Schäfer took over the coaching position again and "Kurti" Mondschein was one of the main guarantors of the league return of 1860 Munich with his 25 goals in the 1954/55 season. With Johann Auernhammer and Alfons Stemmer, hopeful new people came to the league in 1955/56 and Mondschein proved his still existing league quality with eight goals in 23 league games, but with only 19:41 points rose immediately back to the second division in 1860 South off. There the “lions” won the championship in the second division with a record of 103: 47 goals and immediately returned to the top division.

"Kurti" Mondschein was from 1957 still two rounds in the upper division squad of the "Blue", but only as a supplementary player. The new trainer Hans Hipp relied on Helmut Albert , Ferdinand Börstler , Rudolf Kölbl , Peter Lihl and Johann Auernhammer in the attack . With his use on September 7, 1958 in the away game against Eintracht Frankfurt, the senior league career of the youth idol of Franz Beckenbauer ended.

After the re-amateurization, he played again for his hometown club FC Puchheim near Munich.

Word games with his name offered themselves. "Moonlight shone" or "Moonlight outshone everyone", it was said in the newspapers after strong appearances.
