With 10 goals in eight matches, the 20-year-old Paul Lipponer Jr., center forward of VfTuR Feudenheim, was the top scorer of Gauliga Baden in the 1944/45 season .

Associations, 1945 to 1959

From 1945 to 1954, the son of the Mainz goalscorer Paul Lipponer sr. 236 games in the Oberliga Süd for SV 07 Waldhof . The striker scored 115 goals. In addition, there are 33 games (10 goals) for SV Phönix 03 Ludwigshafen in the seasons 1957/58 and 1958/59, as well as a league appearance in 1945 for Mainz 05. Lipponer was still three years after the relegation of SV Waldhof in 1954 in action for the "Waldhof boys" in the 2nd South League, before he continued his higher-class career at Phoenix Ludwigshafen in the Oberliga Südwest and ended in 1959.

After the end of the Second World War , Lipponer belonged to the team that played the first approved game in Mannheim on September 9, 1945, at the traditional club from the classic working-class district of the north Baden square city, the blue-blacks of SV Waldhof . At the place at the breweries, Waldhof prevailed with 3-1 goals against VfR Mannheim. Lipponer stormed in the center forward position, Reinhold Fanz sr. acted as a half-forward and the later successful coach Helmut Schneider stood in defense. On November 4th, under the adventurous conditions of the post-war period, the chapter of the South Football League began. On the fourth matchday, the Waldhof center forward scored all four goals in a 4-0 win against Phoenix Karlsruhe. In the 4-0 victory of the Mannheim city selection on February 17, 1946 against Stuttgart, Lipponer distinguished himself as a three-time goalscorer. Club colleague Georg Herbold and VfR attacker Karl Striebinger stormed the wing . On April 28, 1946, he and Waldhof achieved a 2-1 home win against 1. FC Nürnberg in front of 33,000 spectators. At the end of the round, the team from the stadium on Alsenweg finished fourth in the Oberliga Süd.

In the autumn series of 1946 Lipponer first played for Mainz 05; in the first five games of the later canceled "Northern Zone League" he scored eight goals. Three other Waldhöfer, among them Helmut Schneider ( see above ) as player- coach, were active on Bruchweg at the time, but the club separated from three players in mid-November, among them Lipponer, because of allegedly excessive compensation claims. After the end of the spring round with only eight participants, the northern league in the southwest was expanded to 14 participants for the 1947/48 season.

Under coach Herbert Pahlke , Waldhof, now again with Lipponer , won the runner-up in the second year of the Oberliga Süd, 1946/47 . The entry into the final round of the German soccer championship was due to the competition, which had not yet taken place, for Lipponers and teammates such as Reinhold Fanz sr., Karl Vetter , Ludwig Siffling , Georg Herbold , Werner Hölzer , Georg Siegel , Helmut Schall , Willi Rube , Georg Krämer and Erich Rendler , therefore not possible. Lipponer distinguished himself from November 24, 1946 (2-0 against Eintracht Frankfurt) to June 15, 1947 (3-1 against TSV Munich 1860) in the course of the round as a goal scorer at runner-up Waldhof. In the two rounds of 1947/48 and 1948/49, the attacking leader of the Waldhöfer scored 14 goals each and the team belonged to the top group in the south with a sixth (1948) and fifth (1949) rank.

In the 1950/51 season, Lipponer played 13 league games and eight goals at Waldhof. According to Zeilinger, from October 1950 to January 1951 he belonged to the south-west upper division club SV Phönix Ludwigshafen, but then had to return to Waldhof after an association decision. Waldhof was able to just prevent relegation as 14th. The attack leader of the black and blue from Alsenweg was present in the next three rounds in 88 league games with 36 goals. In the year before the 1954 World Cup in Switzerland, 1952/53, Lipponer finished ninth with Waldhof in the Oberliga Süd. For the DFB Cup , which was first played in 1953 after the Second World War , he and his teammates qualified for the South German Cup in a group round against VfR Mannheim, SV Wiesbaden, VfL Neckarau, FV Daxlanden and ASV Feudenheim . About the stations Eintracht Braunschweig (2: 1; Lipponer scored the winning goal), SpVgg Fürth (5: 2; with Herbert Erhardt , Karl Mai , Richard Gottinger ) and Concordia Hamburg (2: 1; winning goal by Lipponer in the 69th minute of the game) he moved into the semi-finals with his team. He scored a goal against Rot-Weiss Essen on March 8, 1953 in Koblenz, but the men around Heinz Wewers , Helmut Rahn , Franz Islacker , August Gottschalk and Bernhard Termath prevailed 3-2 goals in the Oberwerth stadium and moved in the final, which they won on May 1st with 2-1 goals against Aachen.

Surprisingly, Lipponer rose with Waldhof under coach Hans Wendlandt in 1953/54 from the Oberliga Süd. The last round game on April 4, 1954 was lost with 0: 2 goals in the attacking line-up with Heinz Heim , Herbold, Lipponer, Reinhold Cornelius and Heinz Hohmann at VfB Stuttgart and thus the Stuttgart Kickers with the same number of points received the league membership. Paul Lipponer is listed for Waldhof Mannheim in the Oberliga Süd with 236 league appearances and 115 goals.

After three rounds with the blue-blacks in the 2nd South League, the veteran joined the Southwest Oberligisten Phönix Ludwigshafen in the summer of 1957, where he ended his higher-class playing career in 1959 after another 33 league appearances with ten goals. The 35-year-old attacker had his last league appearance on April 5, 1959 in a 1-1 home draw by Phönix against championship leaders and champions FK Pirmasens. As almost always in his career, he played in the center-forward position and had mostly had to deal with stopper Hermann Laag on the Pirmasens side in the World Cup system at the time.

Selection appointments

In the 1949/50 regional cup , the attacker represented the colors of the North Baden regional association in the games on August 21, 1949 against South Baden (3: 1) and on September 18, 1949 on the Waldhof Square against Pfalz / Rheinhessen (1: 4). The team around Fritz and Ottmar Walter prevailed in Mannheim in front of 22,000 spectators against North Baden, in whose ranks the attack was a VfR / Waldhof combination of Herbold, Kurt Stiefvater , Lipponer, Ernst Langlotz and Rudolf de la Vigne . In his first Phoenix section (October 1950 to January 1951) he stormed on November 11, 1950 in the game of Southwest against South Germany on the right wing next to Fritz Walter and scored both goals in a 2-2 draw against the South selection. On March 18, 1951, he represented the colors of southern Germany in the 4-2 victory in Hamburg against northern Germany. As a center forward he scored a goal on the side of Horst Buhtz and Ernst Kunkel . National coach Sepp Herberger honored his achievements with the appointment for the first official international match of the B national team on April 14, 1951 in Karlsruhe against Switzerland. In the 2-0 defeat of the German selection, the attack was formed in the line-up with Gerhard Kaufhold , Kurt Schreiner , Lipponer, Buhtz and Rolf Blessing .

At the close of the 1954 world championship year, at the end of the 1952/53 season, the center forward from SV Waldhof came in June 1953 for two additional appointments. On June 4th he scored two goals in Augsburg in the 5-3 success of the southern German selection against a DFB selection and was then nominated as a center forward for the international match of the B national team on June 14th in Düsseldorf against Spain. In the 5-2 victory of the German B-Elf, the left wing with playmaker Alfred Pfaff (2 goals) and left winger Hans Schäfer (3 goals) was particularly convincing . In the first round of 1953/54 Lipponer stormed on September 2, 1953 in Constance in a DFB selection, which was able to prevail with 2-0 goals against a Swiss selection. In the World Cup qualifier on October 11, 1953 in Stuttgart against Saarland (3-0), he was on the substitute bench for the national team, but was not used. On November 21, a test match between a German B-Elf and a team from the north took place in Hamburg; in the 5-1 success of the DFB men, he scored two goals on the right wing. A day later, on November 22nd, Lipponer was part of the squad for another World Cup qualifier against Norway. He stayed in the 5: 1 success of the Herberger team without commitment, which convinced especially in the attack with Rahn, Max Morlock , the Walter brothers and Richard Herrmann . After the Waldhof relegation to the 2nd League South in the spring of 1954, Paul Lipponer's selection appointments were over.
