Robert Pischke (born August 16, 1941 in Danzig ; † March 11, 1996 in Rostock ) was a German football referee and football official.

life and work

From 1951 to 1958 Pischke played himself as a runner for the lower class team of Traktor Diekhof . After taking his referee examination at the age of 16, he directed his first game in the GDR league between Dynamo Schwerin and Motor Koepenick on September 4, 1966 . Four years later, on August 29, 1970, he made his debut as one of the youngest at the age of 29 and 13 days in the GDR Oberliga in the game of Hallescher FC Chemie against 1. FC Union Berlin .

From 1974 on, Pischke whistled a total of 29 international games before a penalty whistle on September 21, 1974 was his undoing. At the encounter between Dynamo Dresden and Berlin's FC Dynamo , he awarded the Saxons a not undisputed penalty in the 89th minute, which led to the defeat of the BFC, favored by the Minister for State Security Erich Mielke . As a result, the referee was never again scheduled to play in the major league. After he was also removed from the international list by the DFV and he could not accept an invitation to lead an international match in Sweden, he gave up his office as referee.

In 1978 Pischke, who worked as a ship broker in the Rostock port , took on a managerial role at the GDR league club BSG Schiffahrt und Hafen Rostock . In 1986 he took over the chairmanship of FC Hansa Rostock . At the top division, Pischke had a lot to do in times of political change . The aim was to create structures that would enable the club to move into paid football. Before FC Hansa was converted into a registered club , it was necessary to conclude contracts with the players that prevented the team from being sold out, as was the case with the major league competitors. The transfer fee, which Pischke and Manfred Wimmer subsequently negotiated for Axel Kruse from Hertha BSC, helped in particular . The former Rostock striker had fled the GDR a year before and was not allowed to play without the consent of the Hanseatic League.

In February 1991 Pischke handed over the presidency to the deputy mayor of Rostock, Wolfgang Zöllick . He was not available for re-election and instead worked as a management consultant.

Robert Pischke died of cancer in 1996 at the age of 54.
