Career as a player
Youth and youth players
Minge began to play organized football at BSG Stahl in his hometown of Prösen when he was nine . In 1972 he moved to the TSG Gröditz youth team , who took him over to their GDR league team at the end of the 1977/78 season - still at the age of 17 . After another league season that ended with relegation, Minge played another year with TSG in the third-class district league and was then delegated to the top division and GDR runner-up Dynamo Dresden for the 1980/81 season .
League player
The 1.85 m tall Minge made his league debut on October 25, 1980. On the 9th day of the 1980/81 season he was substituted on in the game against Chemie Bohlen in the 73rd minute. At the beginning of 1981 he benefited from the dismissal of the center forward Peter Kotte , whose position he took over and established himself as a regular. From 1981 to 1988 Minge was the standard center forward at Dynamo Dresden . In five seasons he was Dresden's top scorer. In his second season at Dynamo he won his first title, on May 1, 1982 with Dresden in the GDR Cup final that was won against FC Dynamo from Berlin on penalties. Minge was also involved in the cup wins in 1984 , 1985 and 1990 . In 1988/89 and 1989/90 he was GDR champion with Dynamo Dresden. From the 1988/89 season on Minge was mainly used in midfield, 1989/90 he played only the first six league point games. He was used 21 times in his last league season, his last league game he played on May 25, 1991. He had come to 222 league games within twelve years. With his 103 goals, Minge is in third place in the Dynamo Dresden ranking, behind Hans-Jürgen Kreische and Torsten Gütschow . During his time in Dresden, Minge played 34 European Cup games with Dynamo , in which he scored nine goals.
National player
In 1981 Minge was included in the squad of the GDR youth national team, for which he played eleven international matches until 1983. During this time he had developed into a goal-scoring player in the league, and so he was appointed to the squad of the senior national team in early 1983. On April 13, 1983, he played his first A international match when he was substituted on in the friendly game GDR - Bulgaria in the 46th minute. Despite his exceptional position at Dynamo Dresden, he did not get beyond the status of a substitute player in most of his 36 international matches, he was substituted on four times and replaced 17 times. During his time in the senior national team, he played his last game on April 12, 1989, the GDR completed 20 qualifying games for the European and World Cup. Minge played 13 matches. In total, he scored eight goals for the A-selection. Between 1983 and 1984 he was used in seven qualifying games of the GDR Olympic team. Because of the GDR's Olympic boycott, Minge was denied participation in the 1984 Olympics.

With the Bayer 04 amateurs, he made it to the Regionalliga Nord in 2005. Subsequently, until September 30, 2005, he became head of the Bayer Leverkusen youth performance center.
Minge returned to Dresden and began on 1 October 2005 studying psychology, but he dropped out after half a year after a contract as assistant coach on 9 January 2006 Klaus Toppmöller in the national team of Georgia had signed . Although the contract ran until December 31, 2007, he was elected to the Supervisory Board of Dynamo Dresden on September 21, 2006, where he was committed to the development of the sporting sector. This included, above all, the presentation, creation and support of concepts that should keep the club permanently in professional football. On July 1, 2007 he was given the post of Managing Director Sport (Sports Director) at Dynamo. On March 1, 2010, Minge received a two-year contract with the DFB as coach of the German U19 national team . However, on April 27, 2011, Minge was released from his duties by the DFB. Christian Ziege was his successor . Various substantive views were given as reasons.
For the 2012/13 season he returned to the amateurs of Bayer 04 Leverkusen as head coach . On February 3, 2014 Dynamo Dresden announced that Ralf Minge will be the new sports director of the club with immediate effect and will receive a contract until June 30, 2016.
