Career

societies

Hantschik was a member of the BTuFC Union 1892 from 1906 to 1914 , for which he was used in the Berlin football championships organized by the Association of Berlin Ball Game Clubs until the 1910/11 season , and from the 1911/12 season onwards in the Berlin Football Championships organized by the Brandenburg Ball Game Clubs . When Union 92 won the German championship in 1905, the defensive player was not yet a member of the team; At that time he was studying in Frankfurt, where he trained as a painter and draftsman. In the Berlin championship 1907/08 he reached the runner - up with the team from Union-Platz Mariendorf behind Viktoria 89 . In 1908 Union 92 also lost the final of the Berlin State Cup against the then dominant BFC Viktoria 1889 . From 1910 to 1912 he came third with Union 92 three times in a row in Berlin.

Hantschik was an athletic defender who was characterized by determination, punching power and pronounced headball strength.

National team

Hantschik completed two international matches for the DFB. Both times against England's national team . The first - it was the second regular international match in DFB history - was lost on April 20, 1908 in Berlin with 1: 5 against an amateur selection from England. Their center forward Vivian Woodward scored four goals against Hantschik's teammate, goalkeeper Paul Eichelmann . Hantschik was a right defender and Arthur Hiller from Pforzheim led the German team as captain . The second international match took place on March 16, 1909 in Oxford and was lost 9-0. The enormous difference in performance in this phase between German and English football is illustrated by the fact that the German goalkeeper "Adsch" Werner von Holstein Kiel is ascribed an outstanding performance despite the new goals conceded. In Bitter the "Daily Telegraph" is quoted as saying: "The only obstacle to England was Adsch Werner."

In the competition for the Crown Prince's Cup in Hamburg on February 21, Hantschik represented Berlin against Northern Germany (4: 1) and on April 18, 1909 in the final in Berlin against Central Germany with a 1: 3 defeat. Club colleague Ernst Poetsch ran as the right wing runner.

Others

Hantschik studied painting and drawing in Frankfurt am Main before moving to Berlin .
