Werner Hilbert

Werner Hilbert (born October 24, 1936 ) was a football player in the GDR . In the 1961/62 season he played four games in the East German league , the highest East German division , for SC construction Magdeburg .

Hilbert began his football career as a young player with the company sports community (BSG) Motor Mitte Magdeburg . After a stopover at Motor Dessau , Motor Mitte Magdeburg brought the talented striker back at the beginning of the second half of the 1954/55 season. This happened as part of a rejuvenation campaign after the initially targeted promotion to the GDR upper league no longer seemed achievable. At the end of the season, the Magdeburg team narrowly missed promotion as second in the GDR league . Even in the 1956 season, which was switched to the calendar year, Hilbert had to continue to play in the second division with the middle engine. Together with Günter Hirschmann , he was Magdeburg's top scorer with 15 goals.

In the meantime, Hilbert played again at Motor Dessau in the fourth-class Halle district league . The football section of BSG Motor Mitte Magdeburg had become SC Aufbau Magdeburg in 1957, which rose to the league in 1959. After several players left the team in 1960, the club brought Hilbert von Dessau back to Magdeburg at the beginning of the 1961/62 season. However, the almost 25-year-old was unable to assert himself in the SC structure and only played four league point games.

Hilbert then moved in the summer of 1962 to the newly promoted GDR league BSG Turbine Magdeburg . There, too, he only stayed one season and then went to the GDR league competitor Stahl Eisenhüttenstadt . Here he managed to gain a foothold in the long term, and he stayed in the steel town until he was promoted to the major league in 1969. Hilbert, now almost 33 years old, ended his career as a competitive athlete in the summer of 1969 and ended his football career with the third-rate district league club Aufbau Eisenhüttenstadt .
