from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rolf Döbbelin (born January 30, 1955 in Tangermünde ) was a football player in the GDR Oberliga , the top football class in GDR sport. There he played for 1. FC Magdeburg .

Athletic career

Döbbelin began to play organized football at the company sports association Empor in Tangermünde . In 1967, at the age of twelve, he switched to the region’s football focus, 1. FC Magdeburg. There he had his first career highlight in 1969 when he won the GDR student championship with the FCM student team. After graduating from school, he completed an apprenticeship as a mechanical engineer.

Döbbelin came to the league team in the 1977/78 season via the Magdeburg junior and junior team. However, he was only used in a league game on April 22, 1978 as a right defender against FC Carl Zeiss Jena (1: 1). He also lacked the cup victory of FCM in 1978 and only came in the season 1980/81 in the first team properly for the course when he played 15 league matches for the first time more than half of the league matches of the season. Already on September 19, 1979 he had made his debut in the European Cup matches of the Magdeburg team in the encounter between FC Wrexham and 1. FC Magdeburg (2: 3 defeat).

Between May 1982 and March 1983 Döbbelin was not available to the FCM because of his military service and was not used when the Magdeburg team won again in 1983. From the summer of 1983 Döbbelin played his way back into the club's regular formation and had his most important game of his career on September 28, 1983, when he had to play for the second leg in the European Cup Winners' Cup at FC Barcelona. After the 1: 5 defeat in the first leg (without Döbbelin), the Magdeburg team retired after a 0: 2 in the first round. The 1.82 m tall Döbbelin had meanwhile been converted from defender to midfielder.

In the period that followed, 1. FC Magdeburg moved further and further away from the top of the league, so that Döbbelin had no chance of winning the title. In his last two seasons between 1986 and 1988 he was in great shape again, so that he came to 25 point games in 1986/87 and a year later to 23. On the penultimate match day of the 1987/88 season Döbbelin was in the game Rot-Weiß Erfurt - 1. FCM (3: 1) for the last time in a league game in the ranks of the Magdeburg team. For the league team he had played 131 point games in eleven years and scored seven goals. There were also 13 appearances in the national cup competition and ten European Cup matches.

In the summer of 1988 Döbbelin registered with third-rate district division BSG Kali in Wolmirstedt , for which he played for one season. He then returned to Magdeburg, where he finally ended his career as an active soccer player with the district league team Motor Mitte. Afterwards Döbbelin, who had acquired a diploma as a sports teacher, worked as a football coach. From 1994 to 2000 he coached the first soccer team of SV Fortuna Magdeburg and led them from the 7th league to the amateur league . When Fortuna fought against relegation in the league in 2000, Döbbelin had to go during the winter break. Then he took over the training of the national league club VfB Ottersleben in Magdeburg until the end of the season 2008/09, in order to then, in his own words, “take a break”. For the 2016/17 season Döbbelin took over the training of the association league team of Magdeburg SV Börde 1949 , but was released from his position in January 2017 after the club was in danger of relegation.
