Player career

societies

On June 9, 1940, at the age of just 16, Schreiner was first used in the final round of the German soccer championship at Gaumeister Südwest . Ironically, with a 1-0 home win against 1. FC Nürnberg, the youth made his debut on the right wing. In the line-ups for the Tschammerpokal 1940 in the three games against SV Dessau 05 (2: 2 n.V .; 4: 0) and 1. FC Nürnberg (2: 3) on August 11 and September 8, 1940, respectively, he is against not noted. Due to war-related circumstances, he ran for VfR Frankenthal in World War II and after the war, in the first season of Oberliga Süd, 1945/46 for VfR Mannheim. In the statistics, Schreiner is noted with five games and two goals for the Mannheim lawn players. Schreiner is explicitly mentioned twice in Gerhard Zeilinger's book about Mannheim football from 1945 to 1970: Once in the line-up in the 0-0 draw on June 16, 1946 at the association game between VfR Mannheim and 1. FC Nürnberg, where he was at the Side of teammates like Philipp Rohr , Karl Striebinger and Kurt Stiefvater was in action as a half-striker. The second listing concerned his use in the city game Mannheim against Karlsruhe on July 7, 1946 in Eppelheim, which ended 1: 1 and Schreiner from VfR Mannheim was again a half right. His real career in the Oberliga Süd began in the 1946/47 season after his return to Kickers Offenbach. Schreiner played there continuously from 1946 to 1955 under coach Paul Oßwald as a regular player.

In the third year, 1948/49 , the OFC achieved the championship success with great superiority: With 49:11 against 38:22 points of the runner-up VfR Mannheim, the southern title was brought to the Bieberer Berg. With the most goals (79) and the fewest goals against (29), the superiority of the Oßwald-Elf was documented. In the final round of the German championship, the southern champion started with two games against Wormatia Worms. The first game ended on June 12th 2-2 after extra time, in the replay eight days later in Karlsruhe on the KFV-Platz at the Telegrafen-Kaserne with 2-0. In the semifinals, the southern champion met the southern vice of VfR Mannheim. The game for the entry into the final took place on June 26th in the Schalke Glückauf-Kampfbahn in front of 55,000 spectators. After eight minutes, the decision was made: VfR's red-white-blue team led to goals by Ernst Löttke (1st), Schreiner managed to equalize 1: 1 in the 3rd minute, and Rudolf de la Vigne's goal in the 8th minute with 2: 1. At this score nothing changed until the final whistle; the OFC was left with the game for 3rd place. That was played on July 9th in Koblenz in the Oberwerth stadium in front of 33,000 spectators against the new top team of 1. FC Kaiserslautern. Here too, Schreiner stood out as an honorary goal scorer for the Kickers in the 1: 2 defeat after extra time.

In 1949/50 it was not enough to defend the title in the Oberliga Süd, but due to the increase in the final round to 16 participants, Offenbach's 3rd place was enough to be able to participate again in the games for the German championship. In the meantime, Schreiner had moved to the right wing position and the OFC usually attacked with Gerhard Kaufhold , Albert Wirsching , Horst Buhtz , Wilhelm Weber and Heinz Baas . Offenbach opened the preliminary round on May 21st in Munich against the Berlin champions Tennis Borussia. The game was won 3-1. On June 4, the Oßwald team turned the game in the second section after a 2-0 half-time deficit and prevailed 3-2 at Hamburger SV. In the semi-finals, the team around Drivers Schreiner needed two games to eliminate West Vice-Prussian Dellbrück on the way to the final. On June 11th, after extra time in the Neckarstadion in Stuttgart, they separated 0-0, in the replay Offenbach prevailed 3-0 in front of 45,000 spectators at the Niederrheinstadion in Oberhausen. Eight days later, on June 25, VfB Stuttgart (South Vice) won the final in front of 90,000 spectators in the Berlin Olympic Stadium with 2-1 against the third third from Offenbach. The OFC with Kurt Schreiner, Anton Picard and Willi Keim competed in the runner row . The players around VfB captain Robert Schlienz and coach Georg Wurzer had already led 2-0 at halftime.

After taking 3rd place in 1953/54 , Schreiner again celebrated the southern championship with Offenbach in 1954/55 . The 31-year-old veteran had again completed 27 league games in the league when he won the championship and scored four goals. In the final round, however, the southern champions could not convince: With just 4: 8 points Offenbach took third place behind Rot-Weiss Essen (10: 2) and TuS Bremerhaven 93 (6: 6). In the summer of 1955 Kurt Schreiner ended his 15-year playing activity in the Gau and Oberliga Süd.

Selection / national team

Sepp Herberger invited Kurt Schreiner to the 1st player course after the end of the Second World War in November 1947; In addition to Max Morlock (1. FC Nürnberg) and Alfred Boller (Hamburger SV), the Offenbacher was intended for the selection of the right half-striker. At the beginning of August 1950 he took part in another sighting course in Duisburg as a right wing runner. On November 12, 1950, a representative game took place in Frankfurt between southern Germany and western Germany. In the 5: 4 success of the southern selection, Schreiner was substituted on for Herbert Dannenmeier from VfB Mühlburg in the 46th minute . On April 14, 1951, the DFB carried out its first official international match in Karlsruhe with a B national team. The two Offenbachers Gerhard Kaufhold and Kurt Schreiner formed the right wing of the DFB selection. The international match was lost 2-0 to Switzerland. On November 24, 1952, Schreiner was used again in a DFB selection in a test match against the city eleven of Berlin . In the 4: 1 success he formed the outside runner pair with Kurt Sommerlatt .

Coaching career

Soon after the end of his active career, the trained sports teacher was hired as a trainer for TSV Heusenstamm . Under his leadership, the team succeeded in the 1958/59 season promotion to the then third-class Hessen League . Over the next two years, the carpenter, who still had very good connections to the OFC, brought the professional players under contract Karl Sperl (1958), Helmut Preisendörfer (1959) and goalkeeper Walter Zimmermann (1960) back to their former training club TSV Heusenstamm. Around them he continuously built a team that was one of the top clubs in their league at the beginning of the 1960s and was runner-up in their class twice in a row in the 1960/61 and 1961/62 seasons .

With these successes he finally recommended himself as a coach of the OFC, for which he was responsible in three stages between 1968 and 1970; first from March 1, 1968 to June 30, 1968, then from December 1, 1969 to December 31, 1969 and finally again from August 1, 1970 to August 31, 1970. From March 1968, Schreiner led the OFC to the runner-up in the second class Football Regionalliga Süd and then in the promotion round with 12: 4 points in the Bundesliga .

The time as a trainer at Kickers Offenbach was mainly characterized by my role as a kind of fireman and rescuer. So he took over the coaching post on an interim basis after the incumbent coach Aki Schmidt had a car accident. Schreiner's tactics for the final of the DFB Cup in the 1970 season are seen as a valuable building block for the victory.

Others

After his active time as a soccer player in Offenbach am Main, Schreiner ran various cinemas and was married.
