Peter Klepatz

Peter Klepatz (born November 18, 1937 in Königsberg ; † March 13, 2001 in Bremen ) was a German soccer player who took part in the promotion games to the Bundesliga with 1. SC Göttingen 05 in 1967 and 1968 .

career

Amateur, until 1966

In the north of Bremen , with the blue-reds from Blumenthaler SV , in the Burgwall stadium there , the young footballer Peter Klepatz earned his first sporting merits. In the 1958/59 season he won the state championship in the Bremen Association League with the BSV and competed in the promotion round to the Oberliga Nord with VfB Lübeck , VfB Oldenburg and Eimsbütteler TV . With coach Erich Hänel the championship win was again celebrated in 1963/64, but also the superiority of SC Göttingen 05, VfL Pinneberg and FC Kilia Kiel had to be experienced in the promotion round to Regionalliga Nord .

After the runner-up in the 1964/65 season, Peter Klepatz played a game for the German amateur championship with Blumenthal against BC Augsburg . Now the DFB had also become aware of the footballer from Bremen. Klepatz made his debut on May 2, 1965 at the international match in Heilbronn against Italy as the right wing runner in the German national soccer team of amateurs . Two more missions on May 15 and June 2 followed against Thailand and Holland. With Blumenthal, he surprisingly experienced the fight to stay in the 1965/66 round. Klepatz completed four more international matches for the DFB amateurs this season. His seventh and last appearance was the encounter on June 29, 1966 in Bamberg against Turkey in the competition of the UEFA Amateur Cup . In the 1-0 victory, he scored the winning goal and, with Dieter Zorc and Friedrich Giegeling, formed the game-defining runner row. For the round 1966/67 he accepted the offer of the regional league team Göttingen 05 and ended his activity at Blumenthaler SV.

Regionalliga Nord, 1966 to 1970

The man from Bremen was immediately a member of coach Fritz Rebell's team at Göttingen 05. The 05er repeated the runner-up from the previous year and moved into the promotion round to the Bundesliga in 1967. But against Alemannia Aachen , Kickers Offenbach , 1. FC Saarbrücken and Tennis Borussia Berlin , Lower Saxony had no chance of advancement. The ex-amateur national player had played all eight games in the promotion round, mostly as an outside runner on the side of center runner Reinhard Roder . In the second year in Göttingen, the SC landed again in second place and thus moved back into the promotion round. This was surprising, because in the summer of 1967, Reinhard Roder and Dietmar Mürdter, two top performers, moved to 1. FC Köln in the Bundesliga. The 68 promotion round began for Klepatz, who is now in the middle position, with an impressive 3-0 home win in front of 18,000 spectators against SV Alsenborn . Since the following home games against Bayern Hof (3: 1), Hertha BSC (0: 0) and Rot-Weiss Essen (1: 0) were also successfully played, the narrow away defeats at Hertha BSC (0: 1 in the 84th Minute), RW Essen (0: 1 in the 88th minute by Willi Lippens ) and the 2: 3 defeat in Alsenborn, for Klepatz and his teammates to have played more than just a respectable promotion round in 1968. In the next two rounds, Göttingen and veteran Peter Klepatz landed fourth and fifth in the Regionalliga Nord. After 116 missions, the ex-Bremer ended his career at Göttingen 05.
