Athletic career

Werner Brock was a player in the Thuringia national soccer team in the late 1940s , with whom he played two games. In 1949 he became Thuringian soccer champion with SG Fortuna Erfurt . The team was thus qualified for the soccer east zone championship in 1949 and reached the final as opponents of the ZSG Union Halle . In this encounter, which Erfurt lost 4-1, Brock was set up as the right wing runner . As a championship finalist, Fortuna Erfurt received the right to start the East German soccer zone league (later DS-Oberliga, GDR-Oberliga ), which played its first season in 1949/50 and determined the East German soccer champions in the future.

The team from Erfurt, who competed as BSG KWU in the 1949/50 season, still had Werner Brock in the squad. He was used from the first day of play and played all 26 point games. At the end of the season, Erfurt, now renamed BSG Turbine, was in the final of the GDR soccer cup . Brock played as the right runner again, and Erfurt lost this final as well, this time 0: 4 against SV Stahl Thale . Also in the 1950/51 season Brock was part of the player base, he only missed three point games. However, he was also missing in the playoff for the championship, which Erfurt lost against the tied BSG Chemie Leipzig with 0-2.

While Brock was able to narrowly maintain his regular position as a midfielder in the mammoth 1951/52 season with 28 appearances in 36 point games, he was only used regularly until the 7th match day in the 1952/53 season, after which he was only called up sporadically in five other point games . Brock played his last game in the GDR league on March 1, 1953 in the encounter between Chemie Leipzig and Turbine Erfurt (3-2). It was his 99th Zone / Major League game within four seasons. He had mainly played in midfield, he did not score goals.
