from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Walter Ochs (born October 28, 1912 , † April 30, 1991 in Wattenscheid ) was a German football player and coach. During the Second World War , the Gauliga player of SV Höntrop was in the final of the Tschammer Cup in 1943 with the military team LSV Hamburg and in the 1944 final of the German football championship . After the Second World War, he worked for many years as an association trainer in the Football and Athletics Association of Westphalia .

Player career

In Höntrop , a small community in the south of Wattenscheider, at the Hellweg stadium with the red and whites of SV Höntrop , the youth and senior footballer Walter Ochs developed and established himself. In the Gauliga Westfalen , he celebrated the greatest success alongside fellow players Bruno Stein (goalkeeper), Willi Happel, Fritz Przetak, Paul and Jupp Timpert, winning the two runner-up championships in 1934 and 1935 behind the series champions FC Schalke 04. On October 21, 1934, Höntrop crowned the game with 1-0 goals in the Schalke Glückauf-Kampfbahn .

Ochs was stationed as an air force soldier in a flak division in the Hamburg area during the Second World War and joined SC Victoria Hamburg as a guest player . With the Gauligameister von Hamburg of the war round 1942/43, the Victoria came in 18 league games to 29: 7 points and scored 79:25 goals and won the championship three ahead of Hamburger SV, he was in the game against on May 2, 1943 Eintracht Braunschweig active in the final round of the German championship. On the side of teammate Ludwig Alm (goalkeeper), who was injured before the break, and center runner Hans Schwartz , he was able to use the right defender position in the World Cup system at the time, but could not prevent the clear 1: 5 defeat with ten players against Lower Saxony .

In the second half of the year, Ochs was delegated to the Luftwaffensportverein Groß-Hamburg (LSV). The military team, which consisted of so-called “anti-aircraft fighters”, was able to play through the two years of its existence in an almost unchanged formation, which is why it was unpopular with the old clubs.

In the autumn series - from the end of August to the end of October 1943 - of the 1943/44 season , the Luftwaffe SV competed as a representative of the Hamburg district in the “Tschammer Cup” , the forerunner of the DFB Cup. After victories over SpVgg Wilhelmshaven 05 (1: 0), Luftwaffen-SV Pütnitz (3: 2), Holstein Kiel (4: 2) and Dresdner SC (2: 1), Hamburg reached the final in Stuttgart. In this, however, Vienna Vienna retained the upper hand 3-2 after extra time and won the last competition held until the end of the war. With the middle runner Heinrich Gärtner and the left outer runner Robert Gebhardt, Ochs formed the runner-up of the LSV. In the 2-1 semi-final victory against the top team of Dresdner SC on October 17th, the test in front of 25,000 spectators against the DSC indoor storm with Heinrich Schaffer , Fritz Machate and Helmut Schön was successful. In the final in Stuttgart, however, the LSV defense could not prevent the narrow enforcement of the blue-yellow Vienna around the two outstanding half-strikers Karl Decker and Rudolf Noack .

The man from Höntrop and his playmates belonged to the Gauliga Hamburg with the LSV in the 1943/44 season . The selection trained by ex-national player Karl Höger won the championship in Hamburg with 35: 1 points and 117: 13 goals. On January 16 and March 19, 1944, the LSV and the Rote Jäger soldiers carried out two propaganda games in Hamburg. In January the LSV lost 2: 3 goals, in the second leg they took revenge with a 5: 1 win.

The unrivaled team in Hamburg, due to numerous player commitments from all over the Reich - including Willy Jürissen , Robert "Zapf" ​​Gebhardt , Ludwig Janda , Karl Miller , Heinz Mühle , Reinhold Munzenberg , Heinrich Gärtner , Jakob Lotz - defeated the German team in the final round Championship one after the other Wehrmacht-SV Celle (4: 0), SpVgg Wilhelmshaven 05 (1: 1 after extra time and 4: 2), war syndicate Duisburger SpV and TuS 48/99 Duisburg (3: 0). In the semifinals, the hurdle of the Heeres-SV Groß Born was overcome with 3-2 goals, with their attackers Edmund Conen , Kurt Hinsch and Ernst Plener demanding everything from the LSV defensive. Thus, after the cup final of the previous year, the LSV was again in a final. In front of 70,000 spectators in Berlin on June 18, 1944, it was not enough to win the title this year: the defending champion Dresdner SC took revenge for the semi-final defeat in the Tschammer Cup and clearly beat LSV Hamburg 4-0. The quality of the DSC attack, grouped around old master Richard Hofmann and Helmut Schön , could not stand up to the LSV defense in the course of the second half. As the right wing runner, the Westphalian had played all six final round matches for the military team.

After the Second World War, Ochs was again active for SV Höntrop. In the rounds of 1946/47 and 1947/48 Höntrop played in the Landesliga Westfalen . From November 3, 1947 to August 21, 1948, Ochs was a graduate of the first soccer teacher course at the German Sport University in Cologne . Under the direction of Sepp Herberger and alongside other course participants such as Fritz Langner , Fritz Pliska , Helmut Schneider , Hennes Weisweiler and Herbert Widmayer , he successfully completed his training as a licensed football coach of the highest level.
