Wilhelm Stute (* 1919 ; † March 15, 2005 in Bielefeld ) was a German bookseller and football official.

Life

The trained textile merchant got into the Niemeyesche book and music shop after the end of the Second World War . There he headed the book department and started his own business in 1965 under the company name Opponent & Stute . The shop was in Bielefeld's old town on Niedernstrasse. He passed the business on to his daughter in the 1990s before the bookstore closed in March 2008.

In September 1969, Wilhelm Stute became Arminia Bielefeld's club president , after he had previously been vice-president. Like his predecessor Hans Kastrup, Stute wanted to lead the club into the Bundesliga , but was also prepared to take risks. Two months later, he signed Egon Piechaczek as a trainer who led the Bielefeld team to promotion. When the barely reinforced team was quickly involved in a relegation battle, the board of President Stute began to bribe opposing teams in order to achieve the necessary points for maintaining the league. Those in charge of Arminia were of the opinion that other clubs would also bribe. Coach Piechaczek heard from goalkeeper Peter Kunter from Eintracht Frankfurt that Eintracht could not win as quickly as the others would smear .

The bribes were financed with the help of the building contractor Rupert Schneider. Mare wanted to repay Schreiner his money with the income from the season ticket sales for the 1971/72 season . Arminia won for 40,000 marks at FC Schalke 04 and for an unknown sum against VfB Stuttgart . On the last day of the match, the Bielefeld team paid 200,000 marks to Hertha BSC and 40,000 marks to Eintracht Braunschweig so that this team could defeat Arminia's rivals Rot-Weiß Oberhausen at the same time . Bielefeld managed to stay in the league. A day later, the president of the relegated Offenbacher Kickers Horst-Gregorio Canellas exposed the manipulation . Stute initially rejected the allegations and is quoted with the words "I'd rather have my hand chopped off - we didn't shove." It was only when the burden of proof became too overwhelming that Stute confessed and resigned as president on October 24, 1971 . After lengthy legal proceedings, Stute was finally acquitted because he acted without self-interest to save the club from ruin.
