from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Oskar Bahlke (born December 3, 1923 ) is a former German soccer player from VfL Neckarau and SSV Jahn Regensburg , who played a total of 104 league games from 1946 to 1955 as a goalkeeper in what was then the first-class soccer Oberliga Süd .

career

The career of goalkeeper Oskar Bahlke began with the blue-whites of the Altriper ferry in the industrial suburb of Mannheim, at VfL Neckarau. As a master of the Landesliga Nordbaden, VfL rose to the Oberliga Süd in 1945/46. Headed by the later international striker Fritz Balogh , Neckarau took 16th place in 1947 and 1948; after the round of 1947/48 you could not prevent relegation by reducing the league to 16 clubs for the 1948/49 season. In these two rounds of the Oberliga, the former goalkeeper during the successful Gauliga times, Otto Diringer , was the regular player in the VfL housing. Then the Mannheim suburbs needed two rounds in the Landesliga Nordbaden to return to the Oberliga. After the national league championship in 1949/50 in front of 1. FC Pforzheim there was a tie of 8: 4 with Ulm in the promotion round against TSG Ulm 1846, FC Bayern Hof and Viktoria Aschaffenburg, so that on June 25, 1950, a play-off took place in Heilbronn. With a hat trick in the second half, VfL goalgetter Fritz Balogh ensured the 3-0 win and the much-acclaimed promotion to the Oberliga Süd. In the playoff, Willi Nenninger was in the Neckarauer Tor, who also made 16 appearances in the 1950/51 top division, in which Oskar Bahlke was just ahead of the game with 18 appearances. Bahlke and colleagues finished 11th, one point ahead of VfR Mannheim and four points ahead of SV Waldhof. Karl Gramminger (22 goals) and Willi Preschle (20 goals) were among the top scorers in the south. However, the round was overshadowed by the tragic accidental death of VfL idol Fritz Balogh on January 15, 1951. While the playmaker and striker had worn the national jersey in front of 115,000 spectators in Stuttgart in the first international match after the end of the Second World War against Switzerland on November 22, 1950, his tragic death tore a gap in the VfL structure that could not be filled, especially in the following years.

Bahlke was missing in only one round game in 1951/52 (29-0), with 17:43 points Neckarau rose in year one after Balogh but from the Oberliga Süd. The downward pull continued in the 2nd League South 1952/53 and VfL landed in the North Baden amateur camp in the summer of 1953. Master and league promoted Jahn Regensburg signed Bahlke for the league season 1953/54 and the Mannheim goalkeeper moved to the Upper Palatinate bishop's city.

Jahn managed surprisingly well in his debut year 1953/54 with the sixth place. Bahlke had proven his skills in 28 games and center forward Josef Hubeny his scoring qualities with 15 goals. In the second year in Regensburg, 1954/55, the table clearly went backwards, but with 14th place one could at least keep the class by a narrow margin. Bahlke had come to another 24 missions. For the round 1955/56 he was replaced in the SSV case by Adolf Niemann , who completed all 30 round games for the Upper Palatinate.

Bahlke returned to his homeland in Mannheim and joined SpVgg Sandhofen in the 2nd Amateur League North Baden for the 1957/58 season . Sandhofen won the championship with Bahlke in the Rhein-Neckar Season 2 and also prevailed in the promotion round against FC Neureut, TSG Plankstadt , ASV Hagsfeld and FC Freya Limbach and achieved promotion to the 1st Amateur League North Baden. The decision in favor of Sandhofen was made on June 1, 1958 in a 1-0 win against toughest rivals FC Neureut, when Bahlke was able to prevent the team from Karlsruhe from having any chance of scoring. The former senior league keeper then stood in the goal of Sandhofen until 1960/61.
