Career

societies

Before World War II

Rose began playing football as a nine-year-old student in the youth department of the Leipzig district club FC Viktoria 06 Leutzsch . Via the KG Rote Sporteinheit Leutzsch , for which he was active from 1930 to 1932, he came to SpVgg 1899 Leipzig , with which, after the successful promotion round in 1936/37, to the Gauliga Sachsen , in one of initially 16, later to 23 increased Gauligen at the time of National Socialism as a uniform top division in the German Reich , rose.

In February 1940 he was called up for military service on the Polish-Russian border. After six months he was transferred back to Chemnitz, where he was stationed until 1942. In the 1940/41 and 1941/42 seasons he played for the Gauligist PSV Chemnitz . In 1943 he came to the front in Russia in the Smolensk region . In Russian captivity advised he was released from that on 9 June 1945th

After the Second World War

From 1945 to 1949 he belonged to the SG Lindenau-Hafen , for which he played in the Leipzig district league from 1946/47 to 1948/49. After the FDJ succeeded in the spring of 1948 in overthrowing the district boundaries imposed by the Soviet occupying power, the championship of the German eastern zone could be held for the first time . No state championships have yet been played in Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia. For this reason, qualifying tournaments were held here in the spring of 1948 to determine the representatives for the 1948 Football East Zone Championship . Lindenau-Hafen was unable to assert itself in Leipzig. In 1948/49 the SG Leipzig-Leutzsch won the championship in the Leipzig district league. Lindenau took one of the lower places in the table. Immediately before the start of the first Saxony championship, the SG Leipzig-Leutzsch emerged into the new central sports association ZSG Industrie Leipzig . With the name change, the best players from Leutzsch and Lindenau-Hafen were combined into one team. In the finals in Saxony, the industry with the ex-national team took third place behind the champions SG Dresden-Friedrichstadt and SG Meerane and thus could not qualify for the East Zone Championship in 1949 .

DS-League / DDR-Oberliga

In the 1949/50 season , the championship of the German eastern zone was played for the first time in a league under the direction of the German Sports Committee (DS). Horch Zwickau won the championship ahead of SG Friedrichstadt Dresden. Walter Rose and his team from ZSG Industrie Leipzig took 8th place in the table. In 24 missions (2 goals) the veteran had played in the defense of the Leipzig. The ZSG was renamed BSG Chemie Leipzig on August 16, 1950 . The "Green-Whites" from Georg-Schwarz-Sportpark in Leutzsch won the decider on 20 May 1951 in Chemnitz with 2: 0 goals against Turbine Erfurt the Championship in 1950/51 . Walter Rose had played all 34 games and was added to the Allstart team for the third time after 1948 and 1949. At the age of 39, the 1937 national player celebrated winning the GDR championship in 1951. He was still one of the best in defense, played dynamically and shot the hardest free kicks and penalty kicks in GDR football. With the runner-up in the 1953/54 season behind Turbine Erfurt - at the age of 42 he still had 28 games to show - Walter Rose ended his playing career. He came to 151 league games with 26 goals. For two decades he was considered one of the best German defenders and was the great idol of the trade fair city.

Selection / national team

Together with Willibald Kreß , Walter Rose has the most appearances of all players in the Gau selection competitions from 1933 to 1942 with 28 games . In the two finals for the Reichsbundpokal 1935/36 against the district selection team Southwest , he was an active member of the winning team. As a cup defender, he experienced the 1: 2 final defeat in the Post-Stadion in Berlin on February 27, 1937 against the Lower Saxony regional selection team . In 1938 and 1939 , Saxony advanced to the semifinals with Rose in the runner row and the coach Georg Wurzer in charge . In the 1940/41 round he played his Saxony selection games as a member of PSV Chemnitz together with his club teammate Ernst Willimowski .

As an active member of Spielvereinigung Leipzig, Walter Rose was 23 years old and was a member of the national team for the international matches against Poland and Estonia on September 15 and against Bulgaria on October 20, 1935. Reich trainer Otto Nerz did not use it. In early May 1936 he took part in the first Olympic course and was also used as a middle runner on May 9, 1936 in Hamburg in a German selection against FC Everton . On August 15, 1937, a test match of a Germany selection with the convincing Leipzig player as the right runner against an SA selection took place. In the game of the Saxony selection against the Niederrhein selection in Cologne, he was able to collect plus points in front of the DFB officials Nerz and Herberger . On August 29, 1937, he came in the World Cup qualifier for the 1938 World Cup in Königsberg against the Estonian national team as a right wing runner. At the side of center runner Ludwig Goldbrunner , he acted in the midfield of the national team in the 4-1 victory over the Estonians. Due to the convincing 8-0 win on May 16, 1937 in Breslau against Denmark - that was the hour of birth of the " Breslau-Elf " - the positions in the defense and runner row in the national team were practically fixed. Hans Jakob im Tor, Paul Janes and Reinhold Münzenberg as defenders and in the runner row Andreas Kupfer , Ludwig Goldbrunner and Albin Kitzinger were firmly subscribed to their places. With Walter Rose, the class affiliation of his club was an additional difficulty. The game association only played once in 1937/38 in the Gauliga Sachsen . The "red-whites" from the Enders-Sportpark in the Lindenau district were mostly in the second class behind VfB , Fortuna and SV TuRa Leipzig . The class player was not allowed to change as a member of the DFB squad ; because of this, his attempt to transfer to VfB Leipzig failed.

Others

In the 1952/53 season he was active as a player-trainer for the BSG Chemie Leipzig and then got involved as a functionary (including as a section head). As a private person, he worked as a groundskeeper for ten years until 1983 .

His grandson Marco Rose was also a soccer player and was the head coach of FC Red Bull Salzburg from 2017 to 2019 . He has been coaching Bundesliga soccer club Borussia Mönchengladbach since the 2019/20 season .
