from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kurt Viertel (born October 19, 1929 - July 19, 2020 ) was a German football player . In the GDR Oberliga , the highest soccer league in GDR soccer , he played between 1952 and 1960 for BSG Wismut Aue and SC Wismut Karl-Marx-Stadt . With SC Wismut he was three times GDR champion and 1955 GDR cup winner.

Athletic career

With the last league game of the 1951/52 season on April 30, 1952, Kurtviertel began his career in the GDR league. In the encounter between Wismut Aue and Motor Gera , he was used by coach Karl Dittes as a left half-forward. With his goal to the 2-0 final score, he justified his nomination. Nevertheless, he had to wait until January 18, 1953 for his next league assignment. After two games as a substitute, he was used on the 19th match day from the start and scored two goals as a right winger. Then he was placed in the attack of the bismuth team and was used twelve times by the end of the season. The 1952/53 season had to end with a playoff for the championship, as Wismut Aue and Dynamo Dresden were tied at the top. Quarter was called up as a left winger, but lost with his team 2: 3 after extra time.

In the 1953/54 season too, Viertel was only used regularly after the winter break, after having only been in the starting line-up of a league game three times in the first half of the season. Of the 28 games played in the league, he finally played 22 games and was BSG Wismut's second-best goalscorer with 11 goals. He could not play through the season 1954/55 fully, because he was injured so badly in the 22nd point game that he could not play the last season point games. But he was able to play again for the cup final on June 19, 1955, played a center forward and got the 2-1 lead in the 3-2 win over SC Empor Rostock . At that time his team was already playing under the name SC Wismut Karl-Marx-Stadt, but still competed in Aue .

The next league season did not begin until March 1956. Previously, a transition round with 13 games had been played in order to be able to align the football season with the calendar year in the future. Quarter was used in all 13 matches. The SC Wismut finished the season in 1956 as champions. Viertel played 25 of the 26 point games as a winger on the right and left and was again the second best scorer in his team with 13 goals. This was able to defend its championship title in 1957, with quarter again playing a decisive role. He completed 23 point games, and twelve goals were enough to become SC Wismut's most successful goalscorer this time. In the fall of 1957, the SC played five games in the European Cup , after the preliminary round he failed in the first main round at the Dutch champions Ajax Amsterdam . Quarter was used in all five games, but was not involved in the six goals of the Wismut team. In the 1958/59 European Cup season, SC Wismut made it to the quarter-finals, where it was finally defeated by the Swiss champions BSC Young Boys . Quarter, who could only be used eleven times in league games in the 1958 league season, played only the first two European Cup games against the Romanian representative Petrolul Ploieşti , where he contributed two goals in the 4-2 win in the first game.

What had already emerged in 1958 was confirmed in the 1959 league season, Viertel had exceeded its performance horizon. In the third championship title of SC Wismut quarter was only involved with two appearances on the 16th and 17th matchday, for the first time in his league career he remained in a season without scoring. He played his last season in the top GDR soccer class in 1960. He was used in seven point games, in which he scored his last two championship goals. On August 7, 1960, he played his last league game in the encounter between SC Wismut and SC Chemie Halle (0: 2). It was the 144th league game in ten seasons in which he scored 57 goals.
