Robert Faas

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Robert Faas (born April 3, 1889 in Pforzheim , † January 9, 1966 in Heidelberg ) was a German football player . The goalkeeper of 1. FC Pforzheim completed his only international match in the German national football team on May 16, 1910 in Duisburg in a 3-0 defeat against the Belgian national team .

Career

societies

Faas succeeded his older brother Emil , the defeated finalist for the German championship in 1906 , as goalkeeper at 1. FC Pforzheim and played in the position from 1907 to 1914 .

In the championship held by the South German Football Association in four districts, it was initially used within the southern district, in the Gau Mittelbaden . At the end of the 1912/13 season he finished with the team only because of the poorer goal quotient in second place behind FC Stuttgarter Cickers , who won the decider for first place 2-0 and then the South German championship . In the following season he and his team suffered the same fate, with the difference that the playoff was lost 4-0. Arthur Hiller , Marius Hiller , Julius Fink , Paul Forell , Hermann Schweickert and Gustav Stöhr were among his best-known players .

National team

He played his only international match for the senior national team on May 16, 1910 in Duisburg in the 3-0 defeat against the Belgian national team .

The unexpected defeat was due to the fact that the club players Alfred Berghausen , Andreas Breynk ( Prussia Duisburg ) and Lothar Budzinski-Kreth and Christian Schilling ( Duisburger SpV ) with the seven national players who happened to be in the stands and called on the field were in the stadium an hour before the start of the game, a playing team came together; Organizational deficiencies of the DFB meant that the final of the German soccer championship 1910 took place on the day before the international match in Cologne between Karlsruhe FV and Holstein Kiel and therefore no player in the final took part in the international match against Belgium.

Others

Faas, drafted for military service, survived the First World War as a soldier . Bitter's suggestion that Faas had fallen in 1914 has been overtaken by Tauber's research .

Faas was the guest of honor in the stadium for the friendly match between the German national team and Belgium on March 8, 1961 in Frankfurt am Main .
