Peter Lux (born October 4, 1962 in Salzgitter ) is a former German soccer player and today's coach . He was the first footballer to move from West Germany to East Germany in 1990 after the fall of the Berlin Wall .

Player career

The defensive player Lux went through the youth departments of the Union and Sportfreunde clubs from Salzgitter in Lower Saxony until he switched to Bundesliga club Eintracht Braunschweig in 1979 . Within two years in the youth department of Eintracht, during which the Braunschweiger men's team in 1979/80 relegated to the 2nd Bundesliga and in 1980/81 achieved direct promotion , Lux made the transition from youth to men's division.

With his substitution on the second match day of the 1981/82 season Lux made his debut in the top German division and was able to score his first Bundesliga goal on his second appearance on the twelfth match day of the season. In total, he came to 15 missions for the Braunschweig team during the season, which finally took eleventh place in the final table. Also in the 1982/83 season , in which Braunschweig as fifteenth in the final table could only just avoid relegation, Lux could not earn a regular place in his team and only completed 14 goalless appearances in the Bundesliga. In the following season 1983/84 , however, Lux was one of the top performers of Eintracht with 32 games and also contributed eight goals to ninth place in the table at the end of the season.

Through his performances in the Bundesliga viewed Lux also had five appearances in the overall Olympic team of the German Football Association can recommend that - although not originally qualified - for the sake of the boycott of the states Warsaw Pact still at the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles participated . Lux was used in the preliminary round matches against Saudi Arabia and Morocco that were victorious for Germany , but the team was eliminated in the quarter-finals without Lux's participation. In September 1984 Lux was also nominated by the newly appointed team boss Franz Beckenbauer for his first game with the national team in Düsseldorf against Argentina (1: 3), but was not used for the DFB team.

1984/85 Lux ran into another 27 Bundesliga games for Braunschweig, scoring six goals, had to finish the season but the relegation of his team as Table accept, and he left the club and for the season 1985/86 the Hamburger SV joined. Although Lux was one of the top performers of his team in his first season in Hamburg with three goals scored in 32 appearances, HSV, seventh in the final table, missed the international competitions. In the following season 1986/87 , however, the runner-up and could DFB Cup Finals 1987 are obtained from Hamburger SV. In addition to the cup final, Lux had played a further 24 appearances in the Bundesliga, but was handed over to Bundesliga rivals SV Waldhof Mannheim by HSV for financial reasons .

In Mannheim, Lux immediately established himself as a top performer, scored four goals in 30 missions in 1987/88 and finally took sixteenth place in the table with Waldhof, which forced the club to two relegation games against the third-placed table in the second division. Against SV Darmstadt 98 they managed a 2-1 home win and a 3-2 away defeat in these games, after which a third game on a neutral pitch decided the outcome of the relegation. Mannheim won this on penalties and was able to prevent relegation to the second division. In the 1988/89 season, however , the relegation succeeded early on through twelfth place in the final table, but in 1989/90 the penultimate rank meant the direct descent of Waldhof. Lux had only played 24 games in the relegation season and was without a goal for the first time since 1982/83.

Lux then initially aimed at a move to his former youth club Eintracht Braunschweig , but then went to the GDR upper division Dynamo Dresden at the time of the political change in the German Democratic Republic . He became the first footballer to move from West Germany to East Germany after the fall of the Berlin Wall . For Dresden, Lux then completed five missions in the first half of the 1990/91 season , in which the German reunification finally took place. During 1990, however, Lux went back to West Germany, where he was again signed up by Eintracht Braunschweig. In the seasons 1990/91 and 1991/92 Lux occupied places in the middle of the table with Braunschweig in the 2nd Bundesliga and was able to play in the regular team of Eintracht in 1991/92 with three goals scored in 23 appearances. However, disagreements with the Braunschweig coach Uli Maslo meant that Lux only made 13 appearances in the 1992/93 season, in which Eintracht was relegated to the third-class football league. Lux then ended his career in the professional field and let his active career at the Lower Saxony league club Wolfenbütteler SV end.

After professional football

In April 1995, Lux was the coach of Wolfenbütteler SV in Lower Saxony , which finished the 1994/95 season as second in the fifth-rate association league. With Lux as a trainer, the championship of the association league and thus the promotion to the fourth-class league was achieved in the following season 1995/96 . Lux remained coach of the league club until November 1999, when he resigned after a dispute over the expectations of the club's management.

From 2000 Lux worked as a golf trainer in the Wolfenbüttel region , and from 2003 he also worked as a soccer trainer for local clubs. From October 14, 2008 to March 1, 2014, Lux was again the trainer of Wolfenbütteler SV, which is now known as MTV Wolfenbüttel .
