Werner "Eia" Krämer (born January 23, 1940 in Duisburg ; † February 12, 2010 there ) was a German football player . Since his childhood he played for Meidericher SV (from January 1967: MSV Duisburg) and then for Hamburger SV and VfL Bochum . With the MSV, he qualified for the newly founded Bundesliga in 1963 and became its runner-up a year later. He also reached the 1966 DFB Cup final with Meiderichern and the final of the European Cup Winners' Cup with HSV in 1968 . In Bochum he was involved in the club's first promotion to the Bundesliga in 1971. The offensive player was characterized by technical strength and was particularly known for his dangerous flanks. He is considered to be the greatest talent that the MSV has ever produced.

Krämer was appointed to the German national team between 1963 and 1967 and played 13 international matches. With her he became vice world champion in 1966 , although he was only called up once during the tournament.

biography

Youth and senior league time (1946–1963)

Werner Krämer came from the Duisburg district of Meiderich and began playing football at DJK Lösort-Meiderich in 1946, but switched to the youth team at Meidericher SV just one year later. His uncle Walter Krämer had already played for this club in the 1920s and early 1930s. He himself went through the various age groups of the youth teams, while his older brother Hans Krämer (* 1928) moved up to the first team at the end of the 1940s, was involved in the promotion to the then top division Oberliga West in 1951 and left the club in 1953. During the 1958/59 season, Werner Krämer showed good performances in the youth team, so that he was introduced to the league team as well as Werner Gräber , Dieter Danzberg and Hartmut Heidemann . On March 8, 1959, he made his debut in a 2-1 home win against Rot-Weiss Essen in the Oberliga West and played in the position of the right winger , while the brothers Kurt and Ludwig Nolden ran up as half-strikers. By the end of the 1958/59 season he played a total of five games and scored one goal. In the following season 1959/60 he became a regular player. In the following years he was able to keep his regular place in the Meiderich offensive. His team was not among the title contenders in the Oberliga West in the early 1960s, but was considered a promising candidate for a place in the Bundesliga , which was newly introduced after the summer break in 1963. The twelve-year evaluation established to determine the participants was not binding for the selection of the founding members, so that for a long time there was no clarity about the conditions for admission to the new premier league and a good performance in the 1962/63 season was of particular importance.

Krämer played himself in the foreground in this last year of the league and also aroused the interest of national coach Herberger. Even before, Krämer was considered a possible candidate for the national team, but Herberger should have appeared too small. The team started after a first half of the season ended seventh in the table, at the end of which several catch-up matches had to be played due to the long winter of 1962/63 and the associated lost games. Since the Meidericher were able to improve further in the table, admission to the Bundesliga in the spring of 1963 was considered likely and each subsequent game as potentially decisive. On May 4, 1963, the MSV met their Duisburg city rival Hamborn 07 . Immediately before the end of the encounter, Krämer took out a free kick, took it over himself and prepared the 2-1 winner with a cross on Dieter Danzberg . The Hamborner defender Rolf Schafstall denied in retrospect that he had actually fouled Krämer in the previous situation. Two days after the victory, the Meidericher SV was informed by telegram that they were among the 16 founding members of the Bundesliga. The last season in the league ended the MSV in third place. Krämer had made a total of 111 missions with 28 hits in the Oberliga West.

First Bundesliga years and runner-up with the MSV (1963–1967)

After qualifying for the Bundesliga, a little-known coach, Rudi Gutendorf, was brought in from TSV Marl-Hüls ; The major new players were former world champion Helmut Rahn , goalkeeper Manfred Manglitz and Heinz Höher . The Meiderich experienced their Bundesliga debut on August 24, 1963 with an away game at Karlsruher SC , which was observed by national coach Herberger on site. During the game, Krämer played a key role in the Meiderich offensive game and scored both the first goal of the encounter and the goal to make it 4-1. The following month he was appointed to the senior national team for the first time, while at MSV he also appeared as an important game designer during the further course of the first Bundesliga season. Tactically, coach Gutendorf relied on a "latch system" that combined defensive stability with a quick switch from defense to offensive. In this way, Meidericher SV, previously considered a relegation candidate, took second place in the table behind 1. FC Köln and thus became the first runner-up in the Bundesliga at the end of the 1963/64 season. With eleven goals ahead of Heinz Versteeg (10), Krämer was the best goalscorer of his team and made twelve assists, so that he was directly involved in 23 goals in 22 contested games. His performances aroused the interest of several Italian clubs, but the MSV strictly rejected a possible move. A special feature of the runner-up team was the fact that nine players - including Krämer - came from the Duisburg district of Meiderich and grew up there. Most of them had known each other since childhood.

A chronicle of the 1963/64 season written by Ulrich Merk and André Schulin shows Meidericher as the best Bundesliga player of the year according to a grading system. Likewise, from 1963 onwards , Krämer was regularly listed by the kicker sports magazine in its ranking list of German football among the best half-strikers in German football. At Meidericher SV he remained one of the top performers, with the team not being able to build on the runner-up season and placing themselves in the middle of the table. With 13 goals and 15 assists, he was able to surpass his values ​​from the 1963/64 season. These included two goals that he scored on March 26, 1966 in a 9-0 away win against Tasmania Berlin ; that game represents the highest away win in Bundesliga history. In the 1965/66 DFB Cup , Meiderich made his first entry into the final, in which the Ruhr area team met FC Bayern Munich in Frankfurt am Main . Krämer played the final as team captain and remained in the 2: 4 defeat in the final without a goal of his own. Due to the defeat he finished second in the cup after the runner-up in 1964 with the MSV. In the season 1966/67 he was eleventh with his team and even fell out for a few weeks due to injury. The club, which was renamed MSV Duisburg in January 1967 by adding the city name, Krämer left for the summer break in 1967 after a total of 20 years and joined Hamburger SV , which also played in the Bundesliga .

Intermediate station in Hamburg (1967–1969)

For his move to Hamburg in the run-up to the 1967/68 season, a transfer fee of 175,000 DM was due, which was often described as the record transfer of the Bundesliga, which had existed since 1963. The book With the diamond in the heart, however, puts the amount paid at 200,000 DM. According to journalist Dieter Kürten , the Italian first division club Fiorentina was also interested in him and even offered 700,000 DM as a transfer. At HSV, he took a regular place on the offensive alongside Uwe Seeler and Charly Dörfel from the start, but according to his team-mate Willi Schulz he had considerable difficulties getting used to it. Before that he had always lived in Duisburg. With regard to his hits and goal preparation, he appeared significantly less than in previous years and he was no longer included in the ranking of German football. In addition to a mediocre performance in the league, HSV competed in the 1967/68 European Cup Winners' Cup as the German Cup Winner in 1967/68 and made it into the final with a 1-1 and 3-2 in the semi-finals against Cardiff City from Wales. The final against AC Milan was held in Rotterdam. Krämer and his teammates were inferior to the Italian opponent with 0: 2, which again narrowly missed a possible title win. His contract in Hamburg was valid until 1971, but in April 1969, Krämer asked for a dissolution at the end of the 1968/69 season, for which he gave family reasons. In the previous period, some of his performance had deteriorated significantly. Hamburger SV accepted the termination of the contract and announced through its treasurer Mechlen that “only a player who is wholeheartedly involved” would benefit the club. In his two years at HSV he had played 47 Bundesliga games with nine goals of his own.

Promotion and last years with Bochum (1969–1973)

After leaving Hamburg, Krämer initially planned to move to a strong Bundesliga team, but received no corresponding offer. Ultimately, it was with VfL Bochum, a club from the second-class Regionalliga West, that signed the former national player. The transfer fee paid to HSV was around 80,000 DM, well below the previously set amount of 125,000 DM. Bochum's coach Hermann Eppenhoff , who had already trained the player at MSV from 1965 to 1967, was largely responsible for the commitment . In Bochum, near his hometown Duisburg, Krämer found himself much better personally than in Hamburg before. In the team, he shaped the offensive game with the new goal scorer Hans Walitza . Bochum became champions of the Regionalliga West in 1970 , which entitles them to participate in the promotion round to the Bundesliga. Krämer was a key player in his team and prepared the goal to make it 1-0 in a decisive match against Kickers Offenbach with an extraordinary cross on Hans Walitza. Due to a gross foul by an Offenbacher, he was incapacitated later in the game, had to accept a 1: 2 defeat by VfL and also missed the further promotion round. Ultimately, Offenbach rose and Bochum remained in second class. The striker initially wanted to end his career in this situation, but ultimately decided differently. At the beginning the Bochumers could not build on the previous season and in January 1971 did not seem to have a realistic chance of promotion, but were champions of the Regionalliga West with 27: 1 points from the last 14 meetings of the season. In the subsequent round of promotion, they clearly prevailed and rose to the Bundesliga for the first time in the club's history.

The first Bundesliga team of VfL Bochum in the 1971/72 season consisted to a large extent of players of Bochum origin and, for example, still had deficits in terms of professional structures in the design of training. At the beginning, Krämer kept his regular place and placed in the middle of the table with the newcomer in the first two years. In the 1972/73 season he was only rarely called up by the new coach Heinz Höher and played his last Bundesliga encounter on February 17, 1973 at the age of 33 in a 2-1 home win against Eintracht Frankfurt . At the end of the 1972/73 season he ended his professional career. For Bochum, he had played 63 regional league games with nine goals and 39 Bundesliga games with three goals.

National player (1963-1967)

National coach Sepp Herberger called the offensive talent of Meidericher SV in the 1961/62 round for the first time in a DFB team. On October 8, 1961 Werner Krämer came to Gelsenkirchen in the 5-0 win against Poland in the German junior national team U-23 for use.

A few weeks after the start of the first Bundesliga season in 1963/64, Krämer was appointed to the senior national team for the first time and made his debut on September 28, 1963 in a 3-0 win against Turkey. In December 1963 he scored his first goal for the selection of the Federal Republic in an international match against Morocco (4-1). He missed the last games under Sepp Herberger and was initially not taken into account by his successor Helmut Schön , who took over the office in the summer of 1964. In May 1965, however, he returned to the team. In a 3-0 win against the Soviet Union, he came to his only appearance in the German B national team on September 1 of the same year and scored one goal. On September 26, 1965, Germany met Sweden in Stockholm as part of qualifying for the 1966 World Cup . In the encounter that was decisive for participation in the tournament, Krämer equalized to the interim 1: 1 immediately before the half-time break and was ultimately able to win with his team 2: 1.

The Meidericher SV player was also part of the final squad for the 1966 World Cup in England. Shortly before the start of the tournament, he had an argument with national coach Schön, who accused him of excessive beer consumption and asked him to stop. As a reaction to this, a statement from Krämer has been passed down: “If you talk to me like that, coach, then I'd rather go home. Because you can't take that beer away from me! ”The player remained part of the squad, for which the author Ben Redelings sees the great support of Krämer among his teammates as an important factor. He was used in England, however, only in the last group game against Spain. In the further course of the tournament, Germany reached the final without Krämer's participation, which was lost 2: 4 after extra time against the hosts England. Thus, Krämer and his teammates finished the tournament as vice world champion.

For his sporting achievements, he was awarded the Silver Laurel Leaf on July 30, 1966 together with other players from the World Cup .

After the 1966 World Cup, Krämer was only considered once by national coach Schön and played his last international match on March 22, 1967 in a 1-0 win against Bulgaria. In total, he had participated in 13 games in the national jersey and scored three goals, all during his time at Meidericher SV and MSV Duisburg. At MSV he is on the one hand the first national player in the club's history and, after Bernard Dietz (53 appearances), has the most appointments to the German national team during his club membership. The former national coach Herberger is said to have said about Krämer that he could have played 80 international matches if he had consistently given up alcohol and tobacco. Werner Krämer, on the other hand, took the following point of view: "With Helmut Schön, only those players who were in the Bild-Zeitung and in the kicker were allowed to play, and I was never there."

Further career

After leaving VfL Bochum, Krämer was active for the amateur club Weseler SV before concentrating on his professional career. The trained lathe operator retrained as a businessman and ran an awning and sporting goods store in Meiderich. Due to his career in football, Krämer had not achieved much wealth and later he was temporarily unemployed. When he found himself in a difficult personal situation, his former teammate Michael Bella, who also came from Meiderich, offered him the opportunity to work in his company. Kramer worked there as a freelance lathe operator because he refused to be paid by Bella. According to the description of the film Meiderich Vice Champion , he carried out this activity until he was unable to continue due to illness.

Around his 60th birthday in February 2000, Krämer had to undergo a bypass operation . A short time later he was kidney failure on dialysis patients . In the 2000s he suffered from the serious consequences and at the end of 2009 both legs had to be amputated. In February 2010 he died at the age of 70 as a result of his serious illness.

Play style, character and reception

Krämer was considered technically strong, fast and tricky. He had a close control of the ball and was particularly known for hitting dangerous crosses. One of his strengths was also the passing game, which was particularly evident in his often surprisingly played through passes. In terms of physique, Krämer was relatively small and not very muscular, which meant he was light-footed in his movements and acted without a great deal of physical activity. Both as a goal scorer and through assists, he appeared regularly and was most successful in this regard with 13 goals and 15 preparations in the 1965/66 season. In the tactical system of his coach Rudi Gutendorf, he also regularly took part in defense work. His former teammate Günter Preuss described him as "the greatest talent that the MSV has ever produced". The MSV Duisburg also described him in its obituary as "probably the greatest talent" in the club's history. The then national coach Herberger said in March 1964 about Werner Krämer and the Cologne player Wolfgang Overath with regard to their potential: “I can't remember that we ever had two half-strikers who promise as much as Overath and Krämer. I am not excluding Fritz Walter myself in this assessment. ”Apart from the championship of the Regionalliga West in 1970 and 1971, he never won a title in his career, but in the Bundesliga season 1963/64, in the DFB Cup 1965/66, second place in the 1966 World Cup and in the 1967/68 European Cup Winners' Cup.

In terms of character, Krämer was described as down-to-earth and attached to his home country. When he left his hometown Duisburg in 1967 to move to Hamburg, this was a considerable burden for him. However, his move to Bochum and the associated return to his home region made him feel better again. He was also considered honest and loyal. The latter was expressed, for example, in the fact that after moving to Hamburg he bought his car from his team-mate Horst Schnoor . He also kept in touch with former teammates and was visited by Dieter Danzberg in the hospital shortly before his death . Krämer was also known for his beer consumption, which led to a conflict with national coach Schön in 1966. He also smoked during his playing career and sometimes even did so in the players' dressing room.

In the MSV club song “Zebra-Twist”, which was played in public for the first time on January 11, 1964 in the Wedaustadion , Krämer is mentioned in a line of text: “Where all men fight with Helmut Rahn, they attack. Shortly blocked, and again forward. Then Krämer, Pass und Tor. ”The documentary film Meidericher Vizemeister , released in 2014, focuses on Krämer's biography and relies primarily on the descriptions of his two sons and Michael Bellas. The coach of the runner-up team Rudi Gutendorf says in the film that Krämer is the greatest talent that he has trained in his long career.

family

Several members of the Krämer family were or are also active in football. His uncle Walter and his brother Johannes "Hans" Krämer had played for MSV before him. Hans then continued his career at Schalke 04 and Duisburger SV . On September 1, 1961 Werner Krämer married the Meidericherin Christel Kiepura. The international had two sons named Christian and Michael. Christian Krämer played for the amateur team of MSV and later was captain of the former rival Hamborn 07 . Michael Krämer ran for the board of directors of MSV Duisburg e. V., but lost to Markus Räuber. A year later, however, his renewed candidacy for the Board of Directors was successful. He was a member of the committee from 2014 to 2017.
