career

At the age of 21 Hundertmark came to the season 1949/50 from the district club Sportfreunde Ricklingen in the league team of Hannover 96. The "96er" had also been able to win the players Erich Loth , Hans Krämer (goalkeeper) and Hans Tkotz as newcomers. Under coach Robert Fuchs , the man from Ricklingen made his debut on the third match day, September 25, 1949, in the Oberliga Nord. At the club of Felix Gerritzen and Ernst-Otto Meyer , VfB Oldenburg, Hanover prevailed with a 3-2 victory. At the end of the round, Hundertmark had played 24 league games (2 goals) and his new club was seventh. Right from the start he was part of the regular line-up of the “96”. In his second year Oberliga Nord, 1950/51, the squad was reinforced by Werner Müller, Ludwig Pöhler and Heinz Wewetzer . But only with the new coach Helmut "Fiffi" ​​Kronsbein , as well as the new additions to the squad by Rolf Paetz , Rolf Gehrcke , Herbert Helfenbein , Wolfgang Piechotta and Hannes Kirk for the 1952/53 season, the perspective in the table was directed forward again.

In the 1953/54 season Hannover 96 surprisingly won the championship of the Oberliga Nord and qualified for participation in the final round of the German soccer championship . The 96ers opened the league round on August 9, 1953 with a 1-0 home win against the northern series champions Hamburger SV. After the eleventh game day, November 1, 1953, Hundertmark and colleagues led the table with 22-0 points, nine points ahead of their pursuers. The defense had only conceded 26 goals in 30 point games. The main line-up of the north champions consisted of Hans Krämer (goalkeeper), the defender couple Helmut Geruschke and Hannes Kirk, the runner row with captain Werner Müller , center runner and defensive boss Heinz Bothe and the left wing runner Hundertmark (29-0), as well as the attack row with Heinz Wewetzer , Rolf Paetz, striker Hans Tkotz , Klemens Zielinski and the two left wingers Wolfgang Piechotta and Helmut Kruhl together. Substitute players were the second goalkeeper Werner Schadly and the two field players Heinz Elzner and Rolf Gehrcke. Coach Kronsbein described the outside runners Müller-Hundertmark and the two half-strikers Paetz and Zielinski as the “magic square” of his team.

The first game of group I against Berliner SV 92 won "96" with 2-1 goals; but Willi Hundertmark was injured and was canceled for the rest of the final round. The 21-year-old Gehrcke joined the team for him. The decisive group game against the southern champions VfB Stuttgart took place on May 16 in Düsseldorf. In front of 40,000 spectators, Hanover finally prevailed with 3-1 goals against the team of coach Georg Wurzer and moved into the final.

In the final on June 23, 1954 in Hamburg, Hanover 96 met defending champions 1. FC Kaiserslautern , whose ranks included numerous national players who were to win the World Cup a little later . The team around Fritz Walter , the outstanding German soccer player of his time, was the declared favorite. The outsider from the Lower Saxony capital - without a hundred marks and a battered Hannes Kirk - won against the high favorites from the Palatinate with 5: 1 and became German football champion for the second time after 1938 .

As the North runner-up in the 1955/56 season , Hundertmark moved into the finals a second time. But now the performance was no longer comparable to 1954; With 3: 9 points, the “96ers” took fourth place in the group. On August 11, 1956, the strong defensive runner came in the representative selection of Northern Germany in the 4-3 victory in Hanover in front of 52,000 spectators against the selection of West Germany on the side of his club colleagues Bothe, Geruschke, Friedel Schicks and Wewetzer.

In his last league season as a regular player, 1958/59 , the 31-year-old came under coach Fritz Silken at the side of the newcomers Walter Gawletta and Gerhard Gollnow again on 19 missions; the "96s" took sixth place. He played his last league game on September 27, 1959 in a 1-1 away draw against Eintracht Osnabrück. Under coach Günter Grothkopp he formed the runner row together with Friedel Schicks and Hubert Wiezorek.
