Willi Kostrewa (born January 14, 1940 in Gelsenkirchen-Ückendorf , † July 17, 2016 ) was a German football player . The defender played 54 league games (1 goal) in the Bundesliga with 1. FC Kaiserslautern from 1963 to 1967. In the last year of the old first-class football league southwest , 1962/63, he managed to win the championship in his first season at FCK.

Career

At Eintracht Gelsenkirchen in the 2nd League West , the higher-class career of footballer Willi Kostrewa began in 1958/59. After his youth, he immediately played in the first team of the blue-reds from the south of Gelsenkirchen. The defender played with other talents such as Ernst Kuster , Franz-Josef Sarna , Rainer Schönwälder , Karl-Heinz Bente and Heinz Pliska at Eintracht. However, financial constraints regularly made the sale of hopefuls necessary, so that the desired promotion to the Oberliga West was not possible. Kostrewa completed 104 league games for Gelsenkirchen from 1958 to 1962 in the 2nd League West, scoring five goals.

For the 1962/63 season, the player from Eintracht Gelsenkirchen left his home and moved to the upper division (then top division) 1. FC Kaiserslautern in the Palatinate. With coach Günter Brocker they qualified as champions of the Oberliga Südwest for the newly created soccer Bundesliga . Kostrewa had his share of it with 19 missions and one goal. In the league he made his debut on August 19, 1962 in a 2: 4 away defeat at Saar 05 Saarbrücken as a middle runner in the World Cup system at that time . On matchday 30, May 12, 1963, when FCK ended the round with a 9-1 away win at SC Ludwigshafen, he and Roland Kiefaber formed the defender pair . In the final round of the German soccer championship in 1963, the "Red Devils" started on May 25th in the Südweststadion in Ludwigshafen with a 1-1 draw against Hertha BSC. In all six group games in the final against Berlin, 1. FC Köln and 1. FC Nürnberg, coach Günter Brocker relied on the defenders Kiefaber - Kostrewa.

On the second match day of the Bundesliga round 1963/64, August 31, 1963, the man from Gelsenkirchen made his debut in a 2: 3 home defeat against FC Schalke 04 in the Bundesliga. For three rounds he was part of the FCK team, which was permanently fighting for relegation. When in the fourth year, 1966/67, under coach Gyula Lóránt the advance to 5th place succeeded, he was no longer used. Kostrewa played his last Bundesliga game on April 23, 1966 in a 2-1 home defeat against Bundesliga promoted Bayern Munich. Referee Horst Herden sent four players off the field: Jürgen Neumann , Uwe Klimaschefski and Willi Wrenger on the side of the home team, and Dieter Koulmann from FC Bayern. The defender was featured 54 times in the Bundesliga until 1967.

From the 1967/68 season he went on for the Koblenz TuS Neuendorf in the second-class Regionalliga Südwest . In his first season at Oberwerth, 1967/68, Kostrewa and his teammates won the runner-up in the southwest with Hugo Dausmann and Dieter Weinkauff after a 3-2 draw on May 13, 1968 in a playoff for 2nd place against FK Pirmasens . At the side of teammates like Rudolf Krätschmer , Hans Sondermann , Otto Jaworski , Helmut Horsch , Rudolf Stracke , Werner Hölzenbein and Günter Funke (25 goals), the defender had participated in 27 league appearances (1 goal) under coach Herbert Rappsilber . In the Bundesliga promotion round, he played all eight group games against Kickers Offenbach, Bayer Leverkusen, Tennis Borussia Berlin and Arminia Hanover. In his second regional league year at Neuendorf, 1968/69, Kostrewa was only able to play five league games due to injury problems. On December 8, 1968, he completed his last regional league assignment as a substitute in a 2-0 home win against SVW Mainz.
