Athletic career

Under coach Alfred "Fred" Hoffman, the 19-year-old young players Siegfried Werner belonged to being a player of Upper Franconia clubs from the stadium Green Au on, the FC Bayern Hof, which took second place in the in the season 1958/59 II. Division South had occupied and thus rose to the first class of the Oberliga Süd. The midfield and attacking player , who was versatile in the World Cup system played at the time, made his debut in the league on December 6, 1959 in a 2-0 away defeat at VfR Mannheim on the left wing position. At the end of the round, the newcomer finished in 13th place and Werner had made his contribution in 17 league appearances alongside top performers such as Otto Beyerlein, Alfred Horn , Heinz Hörath and Adolf Lindner. When Hof surprisingly reached sixth place under coach Gunther Baumann in the 1961/62 round , Werner had scored four goals in 27 games and the technician Siegfried Stark had topped the club's internal scorer list with 15 goals. Outstanding in this strong round of black and yellow were the successes against VfB Stuttgart (3: 1), FC Bayern Munich (away with 5: 0), 1860 Munich (2: 1), 1. FC Nürnberg (3: 1; Home win on April 1, 1962 in front of 17,000 spectators) and in the catch-up game on April 21, 1962 a 5-1 home win against Kickers Offenbach, to which Werner contributed two goals. In this successful round from Hof, he and his teammates Horst Kästner (goalkeeper), Heinz Murrmann, Walter Feilhuber, Walter Greim, Klaus Fischer, Paul Richter and Siegfried Stark formed the framework for Upper Franconia. In the last year of the old league top class, 1962/63, Werner only made 14 appearances (1 goal) due to injury and Hof finished the league era in 13th place. Werner had played 87 games in the Oberliga Süd from 1959 to 1963 and scored six goals.

In 1963/64 the new division of the DFB started with the Bundesliga and the regional regional leagues below. Hof competed in the Regionalliga Süd and had problems getting used to the new class in the first year; The losses of Alfred Horn (already in 1961/62 to Eintracht Frankfurt) and Siegfried Stark (1963/64 to Karlsruher SC) now made themselves less athletic. Only the 1-0 success on May 3, 1964 in the home game against FC Bayern Munich ( Sepp Maier , Werner Olk , Rainer Ohlhauser , Herbert Erhardt , Dieter Brenninger , Dieter Koulmann , Peter Kupferschmidt ) clearly stood out. In the second regional league year, 1964/65, Hof and Werner and colleagues were able to finish the round in ninth place with a balanced point account of 36:36 points. Werner had scored nine goals in 28 league appearances and thus aroused the interest of Bundesliga club FC Schalke 04. After the first half of the series in 1963/64, Schalke had finished second behind the eventual champions 1. FC Köln with 20:10 points and came home disappointed with 29:31 points and therefore had coaches on April 25, 1964 Georg Gawliczek replaced by Fritz Langner . The second Bundesliga year 1964/65 was even worse at FC Schalke 04: With 22:38 points, the Langner-Elf finished 16th and last place.

Langner was allowed to continue his work in Schalke in 1965/66 and built on unspent strengths or veterans whom he knew from previous coaching work in Herne ( Alfred Pyka ). Werner von Bayern Hof was among the newcomers to the “Knappen” -Elf, as well as Klaus Fichtel , Heinz-Dieter Lömm , Heinz Pliska , Josef Elting , Klaus Senger and the Siegen amateur national player Gerhard Neuser . Werner made his debut at the start of the round, August 14, 1965, in a 0-1 away defeat at VfB Stuttgart in the Bundesliga. He formed the attack of Schalke on the right wing with Neuser, Günther Herrmann , Karl-Heinz Bechmann and Werner Weikamp . In the first five starting games he always belonged to the zero-four starting formation. On the third matchday, August 27, he scored the consolation goal for the team from Gelsenkirchen in a 5-1 away defeat at Meidericher SV. After that he was only used twice in the Hinserie and Schalke finished the preliminary round with 13:21 points in 14th place. The man from Upper Franconia received his first probation in the second half of the season on February 26, 1966 in the Westfalenderby against Borussia Dortmund. The Revierderby was lost with 0: 7 goals; the BVB attack with Reinhard Libuda , Sigfried Held and Lothar Emmerich showed the Schalke attack how to do it and the Schalke defense with Elting, Hans-Jürgen Becher , Friedel Rausch , Pyka, Fichtel and Pliska was overwhelmed. Werner saw his last Bundesliga appearance a month later. Schalke joined Bayern Munich on March 26, 1966 and Werner Grau , Neuser, Siegfried Werner, Manfred Kreuz and Senger attacked on the 16th of the table. Namesake Peter Werner scored the winning goal for Munich in the 33rd minute. After nine Bundesliga appearances (1 goal), the round was over for the man from Hof, and Schalke finished 14th at the end of the round (May 28, 1966).
