Peter Engler (born September 3, 1936 ) is a former German soccer player .

Player career

Engler began his career in the amateur league at VfB Hermsdorf . In 1957 he moved to Tasmania Berlin in the top division . With the Tasmanians, the attacker immediately became a regular player and was in 5th place at the end of the season. In the following season he and his team were surprisingly ahead of the Spandauer SV Berlin champions . This qualified for the final round of the German championship in 1959 . However, they could not prevail against Kickers Offenbach , en Hamburger SV and Westfalia Herne and ended the group stage with only one win as the last one.

Then Engler moved to local rivals Hertha BSC . With the blue-whites he was able to win the first title before the start of the season by winning the Berlin Cup final in 1959 , in which Engler scored three goals in a 4-1 against Spandauer SV. In the following league season, too, things went well for Peter Engler and he scored twelve goals in 25 appearances. Only Helmut Faeder (19 goals) and Lutz Steinert (13) were even more accurate. In the league, however, things did not go that well and the hoped-for title win was missed by one point behind Engler's ex-club Tasmania. The defense of the cup title after a 5-2 win against Wacker 04 in the Poststadion led to a conciliatory end to the season . Engler scored as many goals in four appearances throughout the competition.

In 1960/61 Tasmania was also the toughest competitor in the league, but this time it was able to distance itself from the Herthaners trained by Hanne Sobek . And Engler also scored double-digit again with ten hits. By winning the Oberliga title, the Elf vom Gesundbrunnen qualified for the finals of the German championship in 1961 , in which Engler played all six games. However, he couldn't prevent his team from finishing last in the group behind 1. FC Nürnberg , Werder Bremen and the Cologne billy goats .

Then Engler moved back to Tasmania for one season, with whom he immediately won the league title in addition to the regional cup title (4-1 against BFC Meteor 06 ). This allowed Engler to take part in a final round of the German championship for the third and last time . The entry into the final was just missed behind the club from Nuremberg as second in the group.

Nevertheless, he had convinced those responsible at 1. FC Nürnberg and switched to a club outside of Berlin for the first time. In the Franks , however, Engler could not prevail and played only eleven games in the Oberliga Süd , in which they narrowly missed defending their title behind TSV 1860 Munich . He also made three appearances in the finals for the German championship in 1963 . Internationally, however, things went better for the Glubberer and they reached the semi-finals in the European Cup Winners' Cup . Despite a 2-1 win in the first leg against Atlético Madrid , Engler, who played five of the six games, was eliminated with a 2-0 draw in the second leg.

After only one season, Engler moved to Lausanne-Sports in Switzerland in 1963 . The West Swiss he was Swiss cup winners .

But after only one season he returned to West Berlin and made a third attempt at Tasmania. And although they only finished third in the Regionalliga Berlin behind Tennis Borussia and Spandau , they suddenly found themselves in the 1st Bundesliga for the 1965/66 season , as Hertha BSC had paid its players some unauthorized hand money and thus had to be relegated. However, since the DFB wanted a team from Berlin in the top division and Tebe had already failed in the promotion relegation and Spandauer SV waived promotion as a runner-up, Tasmania came to promotion honors. With 26 appearances, Engler was one of the regular players in an eleven that was supposed to set almost all negative records and ended up being the bottom of the table without a trace. But even after the disastrous relegation, Engler stayed with the blue-whites for another year.

In 1967 he still moved to 1. FC Neukölln , where Peter Engler ended his playing career in 1969 at the age of 32 after two years in the regional league.
