Peter Brändel (born April 20, 1943 in Zwickau ) was a football player in the GDR Oberliga , the top division of the GDR football association . There he played for the company sports association (BSG) Motor / Sachsenring Zwickau .

Before Brändel began his career in the upper league, he had last played in the second-rate GDR league for the BSG activist "Karl-Marx" Zwickau . At the beginning of 1967 he was delegated to the local rival and top division club BSG Motor Zwickau. On March 11, 1967, the 17th matchday, Brändel made his debut in the league. In the encounter between Berlin FC Dynamo and Motor Zwickau (2: 2) he was used as a left winger. By the end of the 1966/67 season he was used in another four league games. In the 1967 cup final, which Zwickau won 3-0 over Hansa Rostock, he was not involved.

After a year and a half interlude in the 2nd team, the 1.72 m tall Brändel only became a regular in the top division team from 1970 at the age of 27. Already at the end of the 1969/70 season he was regularly used on the left attacking side, and in 1970/71 he played for the first time an almost complete series with 24 of 26 possible point games. The BSG had since been renamed Sachsenring Zwickau. Until the end of the 1972/73 season, Brändel remained the standard left wing of Zwickau, he completed 67 of a total of 78 league games played within three seasons. During the 1973/74 season, his performance stagnated, and he was only used in nine league matches.

During his league time Brändel scored 15 goals.

At the beginning of the 1974/75 season, Brändel moved to the GDR league club BSG Motor Werdau .
