Rudi Fischer (born November 29, 1925 in Frankenthal , Pfalz , † June 18, 2012 in Karlsruhe ) was a German football goalkeeper .
Career
Rudi Fischer grew up in Frankenthal, Palatinate, and moved from his home club VfR Frankenthal to Wormatia Worms . For Wormatia he was in two seasons from 1948 in the Oberliga Südwest , the top division at the time, in goal and made 41 appearances in these two years. Through his achievements he drew the attention of the southern league club 1. FC Nürnberg . His commitment to round 1950/51 caused unrest in the "club", as the goalkeeper there Eduard Schaffer saw his regular place in danger and fought fierce competition with Fischer, which was not conducive to the performance of both. Fischer came to 21 games and won the South German championship with the Franks, but moved to Karlsruhe for the following season 1951/52 to league rivals VfB Mühlburg . He was in the Mühlburg goal 28 times this season before he became the record player for Karlsruher SC during the club's successful days in the 1950s. After the merger of VfB Mühlburg with KFC Phönix to form Karlsruher SC, he guarded the goal of Karlsruhe in 211 games between 1952 (the year of the merger) and 1960. Fischer was South German champion and German runner-up with KSC in 1956, won the DFB Cup twice in 1955 and 1956 and was South German champion two more times in 1958 and 1960.
Fischer had his strengths both in his reflexes and in controlling the penalty area. His trainer Adolf Patek once said that Fischer was “mentally often one move ahead”. National coach Sepp Herberger also became aware of Fischer and appointed him twice (1950 and 1956) to his squad, but Fischer had to give way to Toni Turek and Fritz Herkenrath and therefore did not make an international appearance.
After his active career, Fischer worked as a coach at various amateur clubs in his Palatinate homeland, including FV Speyer . From 1968 to 1990 he was involved in the youth work of the KSC, the last eleven years of which as a youth leader. After that, Fischer was youth leader at Karlsruher SV. Most recently he was honorary youth leader of the Karlsruher SV and namesake for the Rudi Fischer tournament , an international youth tournament with great popularity. In addition, on February 4, 2013, at the extraordinary general meeting of the KSC, it was decided to add the name Rudi-Fischer-Haus to the young talent center.
On June 18, 2012, Rudi Fischer died in Karlsruhe after a brief, serious illness.
