career

Before the Bundesliga, until 1965

From the amateur team of 1. FC Nuremberg , Walter Rauh moved to the 1960/61 round to BC Augsburg, who played in the second division south . With Helmut Haller - the national player scored 31 goals in the round - the BCA won the championship in the south and with it the promotion - together with the urban competition of TSV Schwaben - in the football league south. The Rauh, mostly used in the position of the right outer runner, played all 30 league games for the blue and white team from the Rosenaustadion in 1961/62 under coach Hans Hipp and took eleventh place with teammates Herbert Ammer , Haller and Otmar Maurus . He made his debut in the league on the start day of the first half of the season, on August 6, 1961, with a 3-1 home win against FC Bayern Munich ( Fritz Kosar , Karl Borutta , Willi Giesemann , Peter Grosser , Rainer Ohlhauser , Werner Olk ), with Helmut Haller distinguished himself as a two-time goalscorer. Since the outstanding BCA player Haller moved to Bologna after the 1962 World Cup and the prospects for the nomination of BC Augsburg in the new Bundesliga tended towards zero from the 1963/64 round, it was the last year of the 1962/63 Oberliga with BCA no more. The newcomer Gert Fröhlich managed 17 goals, but Rauh and colleagues finished the final round of the Oberliga Süd as bottom of the table. After 54 league games with one goal, Rauh moved to FC Winterthur in the Swiss National League B in the summer of 1963. He was active for two rounds in the white and red from the Schützenwiese stadium before he was signed by the Baden Bundesliga club Karlsruher SC in 1965 and returned to Germany.

After two rounds of permanent fight against relegation to increase their performance, the Karlsruhe team relied on the newcomers Heinz Crawatzo , Arthur Dobat , Helmut Kafka and Walter Rauh. Coach Helmut Schneider first used the newcomer from Winterthur on the sixth match day of the 1965/66 season in the Bundesliga. KSC lost the away game against Bundesliga newcomer Bayern Munich with defensive formation Manfred Paul in goal and Horst Saida , Kafka, Rauh, Gustav Witlatschil and Willi Dürrschnabel in the defensive division with 1: 5 goals. In the course of the round, Rauh established himself with 28 appearances in the regular formation of the Wildparkelf. The KSC - he had replaced coach Schneider by Werner Roth on October 19, 1965 - finished 16th at the end of the round and had thus received the class. In the second KSC year of Rauh, 1966/67 , two prominent offensive reinforcements came with Christian Müller and Dragoslav Šekularac and with Jürgen Weidlandt from Hamburg a defensive hope came to the blue-whites. After a weak start to the season with only one win out of eleven games, the Strasbourg football strategist Paul Frantz took over as coach in Karlsruhe on November 2, 1966 . Thereupon improvement came in the wildlife park and the KSC finished the round in 13th place. Walter Rauh had played his last Bundesliga game on March 18, 1967 in a 3-1 lost away game at Rot-Weiss Essen. The KSC defense formed on Hafenstrasse with goalkeeper Siegfried Kessler and in the field with Eugen Ehmann , Rauh, Weidlandt and Kafka. After 45 Bundesliga appearances, Rauh left Baden in the summer of 1967 and returned to his Franconian homeland . He joined the 1967/68 round of SpVgg Fürth in the South Regional Football League.

When coach Fred Hoffmann was in charge in Fürth in his second year , stopper Walter Rauh completed all 34 rounds for the game association and scored three goals. He met the Bundesliga relegated from Karlsruhe on December 1, 1968 in the Ronhof Stadium at home and lost the home game against his ex-club with 0-1 goals through a goal by Horst Wild . In his third season, 1969/70 , in the Regionalliga Süd, 20 clubs competed and the defender was not absent in any of the 38 round games. Among them was the derby on September 28, 1969 in front of 25,000 at 1. FC Nürnberg that the “Club” won 1-0 with a goal from Dieter Nüssing in the 27th minute. The second leg ended with the same result on March 6, 1971, this time Rudi Kröner scored the winning goal for the Nuremberg hosts in the 90th minute.
