Uwe Witt (born January 25, 1939 in Brunsbüttel) is a former German soccer player . The defender made his debut in the Bundesliga in 1968 .

Club player

Youth, amateur, upper league and regional league, until 1968

In his youth, Witt played at TSV Brunsbüttelkoog . He took part with the DFB youth national team in Spain in 1957 in the UEFA youth tournament and was used on April 18 in Madrid in the game against Spain as a left wing runner.

At the age of 18 he then moved to the amateurs of Hamburger SV for two years . With HSV colleague Gert Dörfel and Jürgen Kurbjuhn (Buxtehuder SV) he won the DFB regional cup with a 4-1 success against the Hesse selection in 1959 with the Hamburg selection .

From 1959 to 1961 he completed 46 league games with four goals in the soccer Oberliga Nord for local rivals Concordia Hamburg , before he had another 46 league appearances with three goals at FC St. Pauli until 1963 . At Concordia, the former HSV amateur made his debut on November 1, 1959 at the home game against Werder Bremen in the Northern Football League. In the first season he came to 19 missions and two goals, he was mostly used as a half-left. The old hands were with "Cordi" Günter Woitas and Günter Schlegel , goalkeeper Holger Obermann was only used in five games. In his second year at Concordia, Witt, who is now active as a left wing runner, was part of the permanent line-up with 27 league appearances and again two hits. In the last two rounds of the old first-class Oberliga Nord, 1961/62 and 1962/63, he experienced the games from the top half of the table at St. Pauli alongside fellow players Rolf Bergeest , Horst Haecks , Peter Osterhoff and Ingo Porges . In the first year at Millerntor, St. Pauli came fourth and in 1963 came sixth. Since St. Pauli had not been nominated for the newly installed Bundesliga either, he was drawn to SV Arminia Hannover in 1963/64 in the newly created regional football league North . In the first year he took third place with the “Blue”, St. Pauli celebrated the championship and runner-up and city rival Hannover 96 rose to the Bundesliga. Nevertheless, Arminia's performance was a success and the interaction with Lothar Ulsaß , Gerhard Elfert and Helmut Kafka was another experience in his personal development as a professional footballer. In the second round, 1964/65, he finished fourth with Arminia. After 61 regional league appearances with seven goals, he moved to Holstein Kiel in 1965 . The champions of the year 1965 made it to third places twice, but despite the teammates Peter Ehlers , Franz-Josef Hönig , Gerd Koll , Gerd Saborowski and Günter Tams again not to the Bundesliga promotion. Another 60 games with two goals were added in the two Kiel regional rounds.

After his engagement in Kiel , Witt moved to Hertha BSC in 1967 for DM 40,000  and made it to the Bundesliga in his first season in 1967/68 together with Hans-Joachim Altendorff , Volkmar Groß , Werner Ipta , Dieter Krafczyk , Rudolf Kröner and Tasso Wild .

Bundesliga, 1968 to 1972

In his first Bundesliga round, 1968/69, he completed all 34 league games for Hertha BSC under coach Helmut Kronsbein , as did his teammates Franz Brungs and Arno Steffenhagen . In the following two rounds - 1969/70 with Wolfgang Gayer , Lorenz Horr ; 1970/71 with László Gergely , Zoltán Varga  - Witt came third with Hertha and thus qualified for the games for the UEFA Cup. In addition to 123 games in the Bundesliga , he played 16 games in the UEFA Cup . Witt was in the international matches against B 01 Nyköbing, Spartak Trnava, Elfsborg Boras and against the international likes of Angelo Anquilletti , Fabio Cudicini , Pierino Prati , Gianni Rivera and Karl-Heinz Schnellinger provided AC Milan in action.

In the course of the Bundesliga scandal , he was banned in 1972, but has not yet paid his sentence.
