Kurt Ritter (born December 12, 1948 ) is a former German soccer player .

The defender Ritter, who came from the youth of Hanover 96 , first went through the B-youth and became North German A-junior champion in 1967. Then he was in the amateur team and came in the 1968/69 season for the first time to the squad of the first team playing in the Bundesliga. There he made his debut on March 22, 1969 when he came on as a substitute for Rainer Zobel in the 73rd minute of the home game against Hamburger SV . Only on the last day of the match in the 2-1 defeat at Bayern Munich , who were already champions , did he play another season. This time, however, he played from the start and scored his first and only Bundesliga goal for the 96ers with the 1-0 opening goal. In the following season, in which he was also represented on the official team photo for the first time, he was initially not considered by coach Zlatko Čajkovski . During the season he came three times as a substitute in the first half of the season. In his third and final Bundesliga season for the Hanoverians, he completed five other Bundesliga games. With ninth place in the table, his team achieved the best result in their squad. For the 1971/72 season he then joined the Frankfurt Eintracht after the local trainer Erich Ribbeck had him auditioned as part of a trial training. With the fifth place in the final table, the season was more successful than its previous seasons. However, he could not add another Bundesliga game to his statistics and left the club. In the following years he played for DJK Gütersloh (1972/73) in the Regionalliga, the upper division club Karlsruher FV and Preußen Hameln in the 1976/77 season, for which he ran 14 times and scored a goal. The last stop was VfB Peine in the 1977/78 season. Even after his professional career, he was back in the ranks of the 96s and was active there in the over 30s, over 40s and over 50s.
