Career

Walter Szaule came from Hessian amateur football from TSV Heusenstamm in 1966 to FSV Frankfurt in the second -rate regional football league south . He stayed with the blue-blacks from Bornheimer Hang for two years, during which he played all 68 games and scored 12 goals. The FSV fought permanently to stay in the league and finished 13th and 16th respectively. The man from Heusenstamm made his debut on August 20, 1966 in a 4-0 home defeat against the Stuttgarter Kickers as a center forward under coach Heinz Baas in the Regionalliga. On October 29, the main rival Kickers Offenbach defied a 0-0 in front of 16,000 spectators. With newcomers like goalkeeper Erich Wolf , Günter Heiden and Reinhold Nedoschil , they tried to improve their performance in the second year, but they missed it with 16th place. The Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund signed the lively dribbler and combination footballer for the 1968/69 season and Szaule switched to the black and yellow team from the Rote Erde stadium .

In addition to Szaule, the players Klaus Beckfeld , Dietmar Erler , Helmut Heeren , Friedrich Lehmann , Klaus Günther and Werner Weist were brought to BVB. Szaule experienced three coaches in action in his round near Dortmund: Oswald Pfau (until December 16, 1968), Helmut Schneider from December 17, 1968 to March 17, 1969 and finally Hermann Lindemann from March 21, 1969, who then also did Relegation achieved with the 16th place for Dortmund. He was used for the Westphalia in the 1968/69 season four times in the Bundesliga; once he played from the start (March 7, 1969, home game against Eintracht Frankfurt), in the three encounters against Alemannia Aachen (in both games) and FC Schalke 04 he was substituted on. He could not hold his own against the offensive competition in the form of Lothar Emmerich , Sigfried Held , Dietmar Erler, Werner Weist and Willi Neuberger .

After a year at Borussia it was over and Szaule was hired for the 1969/70 round at Karlsruher SC in the second-rate regional football league South. The former Dortmund colleagues Friedhelm Groppe and Klaus Beckfeld also moved to Baden. At KSC he was one of the regular staff in the Regionalliga, which fought an exciting three-way battle for the top of the table with Kickers Offenbach and 1. FC Nürnberg. Offenbach was champions one point ahead of KSC and Nürnberg was one point behind the runner-up and an ungrateful third. Nuremberg was ten points ahead of Bayern Hof, which landed in 4th place. Outstanding in the second half of the season on May 20, 1970 was the 5: 1 home win in front of 35,000 spectators in the Wildpark Stadium at home against the OFC, with their top performers Helmut Kremers , Egon Schmitt , Hans Reich , Walter Bechtold , Roland Weida and Horst Gecks among them Wheels came. Szaule stormed it, as in the subsequent promotion round, on the right wing. Szaule made 36 league appearances with 12 goals and also played an excellent round of promotion. He scored three goals in all eight group games, but missed alongside fellow players like Rudolf Wimmer (goalkeeper), Eugen Ehmann, Günter Fuchs, Groppe, Jürgen Weidlandt, Theo Menkhaus, the outstanding playmaker and goal scorer Horst Wild, Gerd Becker and Hans Haunstein (had risen from his own youth) just about the Bundesliga promotion. One point behind newcomer Arminia Bielefeld, Szaule and colleagues took second place in the group. After three seasons with 93 league appearances and 16 promotion games, Szaule and Karlsruher SC parted ways.

He moved to FV Würzburg 04 and rose with Würzburg after the 1975/76 season from the Bayern League to the 2nd Bundesliga . Now the senior was active in defense and completed 110 second division games (4 goals) for the zero fours from 1976 to 1980. The senior played his last game in the 2nd Bundesliga on April 2, 1980 in a 4-0 home defeat against SSV Ulm in defense.
