Athletic career

Steel Brandenburg

Until he was called up for military service, Schoknecht played in the company sports club Traktor Gnoien in the third-rate GDR district league in Neubrandenburg . During his time in the army, Schoknecht was able to continue playing football in the same league with the army sports community Vorwärts Löcknitz . After his discharge from the army, he joined the second division club BSG Stahl Brandenburg in 1980 . In the 1981/82 season he was the top scorer of his team with twelve goals. 1982/83 he was with Stahl Brandenburg relay winner in the GDR league, but the team missed promotion to the GDR league in the qualifying round. Of the eight qualifying games, Schoknecht played seven games in which he scored two goals. A year later, the BSG Stahl reached the promotion round again thanks to the 13 point goals by Schoknecht, who thus became the top scorer of the league season B, and was able to prevail this time. Schoknecht was in all eight games and scored two goals again.

In his first league season, Schoknecht was used in 24 of the 26 first division point games, but mostly only came on the field as a substitute. He was only in the starting line-up in nine matches. On the last day of the first half of the season he scored his first league goal in the game at Stahl Riesa (2-0). Schoknecht showed himself to be more accurate in the 1985/86 season, when he was the best steel scorer to score six goals. He reached 23 league appearances, in which he always played as a striker and was used 16 times from the start. In 1986/87, from the start of the season, coach Peter Kohl gave preference to the young national player Jan Voss over Schoknecht, whom he then only treated as a substitute. Until the winter break, Schoknecht was only in the starting line-up in two league games, and he was only substituted on in another nine league games. However, Schoknecht came in all four games in the UEFA Cup competition 1986/87 , for which the BSG Stahl had qualified with the top division five in the previous season, used. After he was no longer used in the second half of the season, Schoknecht Stahl Brandenburg left before the end of the season and moved to the top division 1. FC Union Berlin in May 1987, which earned him a four-month ban.

1. FC Union Berlin

His first league game for Union Schoknecht could not deny until the 7th matchday of the 1987/88 season (September 26th). Initially used in attack, he found his regular place in midfield over the course of the season and finally made 20 league appearances with two goals. Since Schoknecht had several dropouts in the second half of the 1988/89 season, he only made 19 point games (goalless) in his second season in Berlin. At the end of the season, Union had to relegate from the league. In the 1989/90 GDR league season, Schoknecht played seven point games in the first half of the season, only one of them from the start.

Last clubs

At the beginning of 1990, again in the course of a football season, Schoknecht moved to BSG Chemie Böhlen , which, like 1. FC Union, played in the GDR league, but in the parallel season "B". In the remaining 17 league games, Schoknecht was called up 14 times and, together with his two league goals, played a key role in the team's promotion to the league.

As a 31-year-old, Schoknecht was no longer included in the new squad for reasons of age when Chemie Böhlen merged with BSG Chemie Leipzig to form FC Sachsen Leipzig . At the beginning of the 1990/91 season he moved to the second division club Stahl Hennigsdorf and played there until the summer of 1992. At this time, SV Stahl announced for economic reasons from the now third-class NOFV-Oberliga and the squad fell apart. Schoknecht was able to join SV Lichtenberg 47 , which was represented in the fourth-class Association League Berlin . There he finally decided his career as a competitive athlete.
