Werner Schwenzfeier (born April 10, 1925 in Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg , † December 30, 1995 ) was a German football player and coach. As an active player only active in Berlin, he later coached numerous teams in the GDR Oberliga and GDR League . He achieved his greatest success when he won the GDR Cup as coach of 1. FC Union Berlin .

Player career

Schwenzfeier began playing football at the neighboring Prenzlauer Berger club BFC Alemannia 90 when he was ten . After an interruption due to the war, he first registered with SC Charlottenburg in 1947 and switched back to Alemannia that same year. At the same time he began his full-time activity as a teacher of physics and geography at the 14th high school in Prenzlauer Berg. With Alemannia he was an integral part of the Berlin City League ( West Berlin's highest football class) until he moved in 1952 . Then he went to 1. FC Neukölln , with whom he was promoted to the second-rate Berlin amateur league in 1953. After Neukölln was able to hold the league in the following season, Schwenzfeier switched to East Berlin BSG Motor Oberschöneweide in 1954 (from 1955 Motor Berlin, from 1957 TSC Oberschöneweide), where he ended his career as an active soccer player in 1959. Schwenzfeier had little success with the Oberschöneweidern: The club, which was relegated from the GDR Oberliga to the GDR League in 1953, could no longer hold its class in the league in 1955 and was relegated to the 2nd GDR League , from where one joined Schwenzfeiers Active time no longer made the return to the higher-class football.

Coaching career

At the beginning of the 1950s, Schwenzfeier completed an apprenticeship as a football coach. As an active football player in Oberschöneweide, he trained the offspring of the army sports club Vorwärts Berlin from 1955 . From 1957 to 1962 he was also a youth coach at the German Football Association (DFV; the GDR Football Association). After his career as an active athlete, he took over the junior department at TSC Oberschöneweide in 1960. He also turned down an offer from Bundesliga club Werder Bremen , who wanted to hire him as an assistant coach. In his two years he won the GDR Junior Cup with the A-youth in 1961.

A year later, Schwenzfeier moved up to the men's division, where he initially trained the TSC's second team and in 1965 took over the training of the GDR league team (now renamed TSC Berlin ). In his first season in 1965/66 he saw the establishment of 1. FC Union Berlin, which emerged from TSC Berlin, and he and the team returned there 13 years after relegation from the league. In the first league season, his team finished sixth and was the best Berlin team ahead of FC Vorwärts (8th) and BFC Dynamo (13th and relegated). A year later Schwenzfeier achieved the greatest triumph of his football career when he won the FDGB Cup on June 6, 1968 after a 2-1 victory for his team over the favored GDR champions Carl Zeiss Jena . In addition, he formed his player Wolfgang Wruck as a national player.

When Union had to relegate to the second division in 1969, Schwenzfeier left Berlin and took over the third division Stahl Finow for one season . At the beginning of the football season 1970/71 he moved up to the second-rate GDR league and took over the team of the former upper division Lok Stendal . There the goal was to return to the league, but Schwenzfeier did not succeed in realizing this plan within four years. So it came in 1974 to return to Finow, whose team had just been promoted to the GDR league. Schwenzfeier's commitment lasted two years, after Finow's relegation after the 1976/77 season he continued his hike through GDR football.

His next station took him back to Berlin in 1978, where he took over the coaching position at the Lichtenberg 47 district division . With the Lichtenbergers he failed twice to get promoted to the GDR league before the team succeeded in 1981. In addition, you could win the Berlin FDGB district cup in 1980 and thus qualify for the FDGB cup. After promotion, he moved to the district league competitor Rotation Berlin . There he also succeeded in league promotion in the following season. In the GDR league, Schwenzfeier rotation initially led to two tight leagues before the team established itself in the midfield of the league. Nevertheless, he and Rotation parted ways in 1987 and he went back to Stendal, where he managed to stay up with the league promoted at the time. His last coaching position was Motor Nordhausen in the 1988/89 season . There, however, he had less success and was relegated from the GDR league.
