Siegfried Kronenbitter (born November 27, 1923 - October 1, 1997 ) was a German football player . For the Sportfreunde Stuttgart , the Stuttgarter Kickers and the TSG Ulm 1846 he played first division football in the Gauliga Württemberg and in the Oberliga Süd .

From 1941 to 1945 Siegfried Kronenbitter played at times together with his brothers Kurt , Leo , Heinrich and Franz as a striker for Sportfreunde Stuttgart. During this time, the sports fans were represented in the Gauliga Württemberg, one of the up to 38 highest divisions at that time. For a short time he also played for Baden's FC Rastatt 04 in the 1941/42 season . In February 1943, Kronenbitter was invited by Reich coach Sepp Herberger to a preparatory course for the international match planned for April 18 in Spain. Because of the declaration of "total war", however, neither the Spain game nor any other international matches took place until the end of the Second World War.

When football games resumed in 1946, Siegfried Kronenbitter joined the Stuttgarter Kickers, which were one of the founding clubs of the new Oberliga Süd. Of the 38 league games in the 1946/47 season, Kronenbitter played 26 games and scored nine goals. In the next season he was already promoted to the regular player with 35 appearances and stayed that way until 1956. After that he had to pay tribute to his advancing age and was only used in 20 of the 30 league games in 1956/57 at the age of 33. However, Siegfried Kronenbitter is with a total of 139 goals, to this day the record scorer after 1945 of the Stuttgarter Kickers.

In the summer of 1957, Kronenbitter moved to the 2nd Oberliga Süd for TSG Ulm 1846, which he helped advance to the Oberliga within a year. After he still secured the league for TSG in 1958/59, he returned to the Stuttgarter Kickers after 32 point games and eight goals for Ulm, but was no longer used in the first team. For the Kickers he had completed a total of 313 competitive games in which he had scored 136 goals.

After the end of his career as a football player, Kronenbitter initially worked as an employee and later became self-employed as the owner of a tobacco shop in Stuttgart .
