Paul Rudolf Wilhelm (born October 31, 1905 in Berlin - Moabit , † April 16, 1977 in West Berlin - Charlottenburg ) was a German football player.
Career
Wilhelm started playing football as a student at Hellas 04 Berlin and made his debut in the first team at the age of 17 before moving to Minerva 93 Berlin for the 1924/25 season. After his move, he was appointed to the Berlin city selection for the first time as a strong left defender. With Minerva 93 Berlin, he rose to the 1926/27 season in group A in the championship held by the Brandenburg Ball Game Association in a round- robin tournament, and took third place. In the following season he finished second in Group B behind the unbeaten Berlin tennis club Borussia .
Due to his good performance, he recommended himself for the top German team Hertha BSC , which had previously lost the final of the German championship four times in a row. Together with national player Willi Völker , he then formed a defensive bulwark, which even replaced the congenial duo Max Fischer and Emil Domscheidt and made them forget. Already at the end of his first season in the stadium at Gesundbrunnen he contributed with five final round matches for the German championship to win the title on June 22, 1930 in Düsseldorf, in a 5-4 victory over Holstein Kiel .
The following year, the title was successfully defended on June 14, 1931 in Cologne with a 3-2 victory - Willi Kirsei scored the winning goal in the 89th minute - over TSV 1860 Munich . Even if the great success did not materialize afterwards, Wilhelm and the old lady were able to secure the Berlin championship three times each, the Berlin-Brandenburg gaume championship and the Berlin Cup once. At the end of the Second World War he became a prisoner of war , from which he returned in 1947. He played his last season as an active soccer player in the Berlin City League , in which his Hertha was now a newcomer . For Hertha BSC, he played a total of 19 final rounds of the German championship and eleven games in the Tschammerpokal competition.
Even after the end of his career, he remained loyal to football and played for another nine years in the old men’s team in Berlin . Until his death he regularly attended the games of his Hertha as a spectator .
