Career

society

The midfielder was on the ball in a total of 90 second division games . He did not make the leap into the upper house of German football until the end of his career.

Ratkowski's career began in the youth team at ESV-AW Oppum and in the youth department of what was then FC Bayer 05 Uerdingen . With SC Rot-Weiss Essen , the talent made the leap from the then third-class regional league to the lower house of German licensed football in the 1995/96 season . The three seasons on Hafenstrasse were followed by years of traveling between leagues 2 and 3, which led him to SV Waldhof Mannheim , 1. FSV Mainz 05 , Rot-Weiß Oberhausen and Chemnitzer FC , among others . In the 2002/03 season a second stay followed in Mannheim with the Waldhof boys.

At the end of his time as a professional footballer, the former young talent was also under contract with SG Wattenscheid 09 and FC Sachsen Leipzig . The last known player station for Ratkowski is listed with SG Eintracht Kaiserslautern from the beginning of 2006.

National team

With the DFB-B youth under Bernd Stöber , Ratkowski became U-16 European champion in 1992 . At the side of Lars Ricken , Kai Michalke and Marcus Wedau , the player from the Bayer-Uerdingen youth team won the tournament in Cyprus with the German team 2-1 against their Spanish peers in the final. In the semifinals, the midfielder converted the last German penalty in a 6-5 win in the shoot-out against the Italian U-16s.

Two years later, Ratkowski was back among the successful German penalty takers when Germany's U-18s made it into the finals in the intermediate round of the Junior European Championship in 1994 after two goalless draws against Belgium in April. The almost 19-year-old was also part of Hans-Jürgen Dörner's DFB squad at the final tournament in Spain in July 1994 , but was not used in the lost final against Portugal due to a suspension. At the time, the trade journal kicker sports magazine rated him as follows: “He played a good role on the right wing and was missing in the final because of the second yellow card. Ratkowski moved from Uerdingen to Essen and should prove himself in the regional league. “For the U-20 World Cup in 1995 , for which Germany had qualified second in the European Championship, he was one of six regular players in the Dörner-Elf from his club Rot- Weiss Essen no release.

Coaching career

In the middle of the 2nd decade of the 21st century, Ratkowski was temporarily active as a trainer for TSG Kaiserslautern.
