Life

Rohde comes from a Rostock soccer-loving family with four soccer-playing brothers, of whom Rainer was the second oldest. His brother Frank Rohde , who was nine years his junior , made it 42 times as a GDR national player. Like his brothers, Rainer began his football career at Dynamo Rostock, where he was accepted into the children's team in 1958. As a 13-year-old, he was delegated to the football club of the Dynamo sports association, SC Dynamo Berlin , whose football section was converted to BFC Dynamo in early 1966. As a junior player, he was discovered in 1967 for the GDR junior national team, for which he played 15 international matches until 1970. On May 25, 1970, he was in Glasgow in the final of the UEFA youth tournament, which the GDR youth team won after a 1-1 draw against the Netherlands and drawing lots. After Rohde had become eligible to play for the men's division in 1970, the BFC initially used him in the 2nd team, which played in the second-rate GDR league . In spring 1971 he played three international matches with the GDR youth national team. In the meantime he had also completed his training as a mechanic.

For the 1972/73 season the 1.81 m tall Rohde was nominated for the first time for the league team of the BFC and was designated as a midfielder. However, he was only substituted on or off in the first two league games and then had to wait until the 7th matchday before he was used as a central midfielder for 90 minutes. Only in the second half of the season he was used more regularly with eleven appearances and now usually played in the right midfield. He was then injured for a long time and was only called up at the end of the 1973/74 season in five league point games. On the last day of the match he was injured again in the 13th minute. After that, he was no longer used in the major league for the BFC. In his 19 BFC league games, he had only scored one goal.

In February 1976 Rohde received the clearance for the GDR league club 1. FC Union Berlin, who used him on March 14 in the away game against Vorwärts Neubrandenburg. Subsequently, Rohde played all other point games as well as six of the eight games in the promotion round to the league and scored a total of six goals. Union finished second in the promotion round and returned to the league after three years. In the league season 1976/77 Rohde played the part of the attacking midfielder, played all point games and was second best Union scorer behind Michael Paschek (6 goals) with five goals. 1977/78 he took over the position of Libero and was used again in all 26 league league games. Also in the following two league seasons he was Union Libero and was missing in these two years only in one point game. In the 1980/81 and 1981/82 seasons he played in the GDR league due to relegation, but still belonged to the player base and played 62 of the 66 competitive games played. Rohde played his last season for 1. FC Union in 1982/83. After he had completed all 13 point games in the first half of the season in the league, he ended his career as a competitive athlete at the end of the season. For Union he had played 201 competitive games within seven years, 116 of them in the league, in which he also scored 18 goals. He then played as a recreational footballer for the East Berlin company sports associations Foreign Trade and Motor Lichtenberg.

After his football career, Rohde ran a newspaper kiosk.
