Rainer Schlutter (born September 14, 1946 in Greiz ) was a football player in the GDR Oberliga , the top division of the East German Football Association . With FC Carl Zeiss Jena he was twice GDR champion and cup winner. He is a five-time GDR national player. Schlutter later worked as a football coach.
Football career
youth
The company sports associations chemistry and progress in his Thuringian hometown Greiz were at the beginning of Schlutter's football career. In 1963 he was delegated to SC Motor Jena , the football focus of the region. There he first played in the junior team. From the early 1960s to 1965, Rainer Schlutter attended the extended secondary school in Jena. There he passed the Abitur in 1965.
FC Carl Zeiss Jena
When Schlutter, who is only 1.64 meters tall, played his first game in the GDR league in the 1966/67 season at the age of 20, FC Carl Zeiss Jena had already been founded from the SC Motor football section in early 1966. In the match on the 7th match day, played on October 1, 1966, between BSG Wismut Aue and FC Carl Zeiss (0: 1), he was called up on the right side of the storm. In his 14 missions this season he continued to play in attack, but came only to one goal. In the next season 1967/68 he was part of the regular squad of the Jena Oberliga team, played 25 games and scored seven goals. He was thus instrumental in the Jena’s second championship title. The GDR soccer newspaper fuwo then named him as the top division player of the season with the best points.
Over the next few years, Schlutter proved to be a robust, less prone to injury and versatile player. Although his domain was midfield, he was often called up in attack and helped out in defense from time to time. Until 1975 he never played less than 21 of the 26 point games per league season. In 1970 he won his second championship title with 21 league games. He won the GDR Cup twice , on May 14, 1972 he was the left midfielder in the Jena team, which won 2-1 over Dynamo Dresden, and in the same position he won with FC Carl Zeiss on April 13, 1974 with 3: 1 again against Dynamo Dresden.
In 1975/76, before the start of the season with 66 kilograms in the top division of the Jena team, the first signs of the approaching end of career appeared. Schlutter only played 16 point games, in which he was substituted several times. He played his last league season as a 30-year-old in 1976/77. As a midfielder, he came back to 15 league games and scored his last two first division goals. He said goodbye to the East German House of Lords on May 21, 1977 in the 1-0 victory of Jena on the last day of the season against 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig .
After twelve years in the league, he was able to look back on 235 point, 28 European and 43 national cup games. As an offensive player, he scored a total of 41 goals in these games, 29 of them in the major league.
Selection bets
In the year he moved from Greiz to Jena, he was included in the squad of the GDR junior team. Schlutter played his first international junior game on October 13, 1963 in the game GDR - Romania (4: 1). He was the team captain at the UEFA youth tournament in 1965 and on April 25 was part of the team that won the tournament, an unofficial European youth championship at the time, after beating England 3-2. By June 17, 1965, the second of the two official games on a trip to Algeria, he had completed 15 international junior matches (four goals)
After Schlutter had already played nine international matches with the youth team between 1967 and 1969 , he made his first international appearance in the senior team on July 26, 1970 . In the 5-0 win over Iraq in the home stadium in Jena, he played center forward. At that time, however, the supply of good-class players in attack and midfield was plentiful, so that Schlutter could not prevail in the national team in the long run. In 1970 and 1971 he was used in three qualifying games for the 1972 European Championship . The European Championship elimination game GDR against Yugoslavia (1: 2) on May 9, 1971 was the last of a total of five A-internationals in which he remained without a goal.
In addition, Schlutter was used in two qualifying matches of the GDR Olympic selection in 1971, but was not part of the final line-up for the 1972 Olympic football tournament in Munich.
Further sporting career
Because of a hip operation, Schlutter had to say goodbye to competitive sports at the age of 31. In 1981, together with Jürgen Werner , he took over the training of the junior league team of FC Carl Zeiss Jena. From 1985 he coached the club's second team, which played in the second-rate GDR league until 1988 .
In 1988/89 he led the BSG Jenaer Glaswerk team to the Gera district championship title, along with many former league and league players, including from his ex-team FC Carl Zeiss II . In the promotion round , the works team of the VEB Jenaer Glaswerk did not make the leap into the second division of GDR football .
In 1996, FC Carl Zeiss honored him with the Golden Badge of Honor. In the 1999/2000 season Schlutter was coach of 1. SV Gera in the NOFV-Oberliga , but was dismissed before the end of the season when the team was in acute danger of relegation. He then became a regional trainer and district instructor in the Thuringian Football Association.
