Career

Walter Hollstein as VFL coach at the final match for the German soccer championship 1951/52 TeBe Berlin - VFL Osnabrück (2: 1) in Berlin.

Hollstein's first coaching position was in the 1927/28 season at Tennis Borussia Berlin , where he a. a. Sepp Herberger trained. It is possible that the difficult relationship between the two led to their departure from the club. In 1929 he moved to the Swiss first division club FC Nordstern Basel for three years . When the DFB was looking for a successor to Reich trainer Otto Nerz in 1936 , there were two candidates: Sepp Herberger and his fellow student Walter Hollstein. Hollstein had been a successful coach at Werder Bremen since April 1935 and won the Gauliga championship in both seasons until 1937. In 1938 he took over the position at VfL Osnabrück , where he stayed until 1944 and was able to build on his successes in Bremen right from the start. The Osnabrück “Gartlager Elf”, which played twice for the German championship, is still famous today. After the war, he moved to Frankfurt as a sports lecturer to teach at the university there from 1945 to 1949. He also looked after the FSV Frankfurt team until 1947 . In 1948 he coached the league promoted 1. FC Rödelheim 02 until November and moved in January of the following year to Eintracht Frankfurt , which was also threatened by relegation , where he was able to secure relegation. A year later, in the summer of 1950, he resigned after another near relegation. He then moved to Lower Saxony and became NFV association trainer, head of the Barsinghausen sports school and coach of the German national soccer team for students . In April 1952, at the beginning of the championship finals , he took over the coaching position at VfL Osnabrück for a second time until 1954, together with Harry Hemmo.

With Tennis Borussia Berlin, Hollstein set a German first division record by giving up only one point in 18 games by April 1928 and having a goal difference of 93:16.
