Mathias Pittelkow (born December 31, 1961 in Zeulenroda ) is a former German football player.

Athletic career

Born on New Year's Eve 1961 in the East Thuringian Slate Mountains , the defensive player began playing soccer at BSG Chemie Pausa and was delegated from there in 1975 to the FC Carl Zeiss Jena , the main club in the Gera district . From the youth of the GDR top club, in which he was part of the junior league squad of coach Uli Thomale from 1979 , he made the leap into the first team of Jena, which was coached by Hans Meyer in the early 1980s .

In the 1981/82 season he made his debut in the top division of GDR football , the Oberliga . On the 22nd matchday he was substituted on for Martin Trocha for the first time ten minutes before the end of the game in a 1-0 home win against 1. FC Magdeburg by Meyer . In the following years, the six-time junior selection player was unable to establish himself as a regular in the Jena Oberliga team. 16 matches in the 1984/85 season and 15 completed games in 1986/87 , then under Dietmar Pfeifer or his former teammate Lothar Kurbjuweit as the responsible coach, represent the high point of his playing times per season.

He ran more consistently in the mid-1980s with the reserve of FC CZ Jena , which had qualified for the second division as Gera district champion and loss point-free winner in season 3 of the league promotion round in 1984 . With the FCC second representation Pittelkow had won the Gera district league in the 1983/84 season and secured promotion to the league in the subsequent promotion round .

Overall, the 1.80 meter tall Pittelkow completed 67 league games in which he hit a single goal (in his second season he equaled the lead of the North Germans in the 4-1 home win of the FCC against FC Hansa Rostock with "a magnificent flat shot" ) scored in the House of Lords. In the European Cup , he played seven games for FC Carl Zeiss and was in the last two appearances of the Jena on the international stage in the 1988/89 cup winners' competition against Sampdoria Genoa (after a 1: 3 in Italy after 1: 1 in the first leg in the GDR ) on the ball in autumn 1988.

Due to the possibility created in the summer of 1989 to be able to be used in parallel with both a league and a league team, Pittelkow ran on the one hand for the Jena league team and on the other hand for the eleven of the BSG Wismut Gera in the second-class league season B in the turning autumn . From the game year 1990/91 he then played exclusively in Gera and came in the course of the dissolution of the independent East German league system after German reunification with his club in the third-class amateur league . In their first year on the territory of the former GDR , he took 8th place with the Wismut team.
