Kurt Schauppmeier
Kurt Schauppmeier (born June 19, 1921 in Schwabach , Middle Franconia ) is a former German sports journalist . He mainly worked for daily newspapers in Regensburg in eastern Bavaria , but also appeared several times as a book author.
He was a keen amateur athlete all his life and once won a table tennis tournament . He played tennis at TC Rot-Blau Regensburg until he was seven years old. He had to give up playing football when he suffered an open fibula fracture in a game between the press and the city theater in 1962. "Back then, the audience believed it was staged," he once said of the event.
After the war, the former officer of a intelligence force first studied civil engineering at the Regensburg Polytechnic . He began his career as a sports journalist when he began a traineeship in 1951 at the Regensburger Tages-Anzeiger. Later worked for the Mittelbayerische Zeitung .
In 1956 he wrote his first book with Today plays the Uridil about the Austrian football legend Josef "Pepi" Uridil , who worked as a coach at SSV Jahn Regensburg after the war . The book of winter sports and the new sports book followed in 1963 . In 1964 he published the work From the petrol carriage to the jet car - a foray into the history of the motor vehicle . In 1969 and 1970 books followed about the two football clubs FC Bayern Munich and Borussia Mönchengladbach, which were emerging in Germany at the time . In 1972, together with Oskar Klose from Bayerischer Rundfunk, he wrote the boxing history work They never come back - the greatest boxing matches of the century , which was also prepared as a series for television.
In 1961 he shortened 20 novels by Karl May to 32 pages each for the Fritz Vogl publishing house in Regensburg , so that they could be marketed inexpensively in the form of booklets. In 1963 an illustrated complete publication was published in book form.
In 2011, Schauppmeier was made an honorary member of SSV Jahn, to which he has been a member since shortly after the war. Kurt Schauppmeier has been married since 1947.
