Willy Reitgaßl (born February 29, 1936 in Landshut ; † August 23, 1988 in Groß-Umstadt ) was a German football player who played for Karlsruher SC and 1. FC Kaiserslautern in the Oberliga and Bundesliga from 1958 to 1967 and in 1960 played a game for the German national soccer team.

Reitgaßl came to Karlsruher SC via SpVgg Landshut (until 1955) and VfB Coburg (1955-1958) , for which he played in the Oberliga Süd from 1958 to 1962 . Already in the 1958/59 season the striker had fought for a regular place, a year later he won the South German championship with the KSC and reached the final of the DFB Cup in 1960 , which was lost 3-2 to Borussia Mönchengladbach .

After 95 league games and 33 goals as well as 4 appearances in the DFB Cup, in which he scored 3 goals for Karlsruhe, Reitgaßl moved to the Palatinate for 1. FC Kaiserslautern in 1962, one year before the Bundesliga start . With his 16 goals in 28 games, he made a significant contribution to the direct qualification of Lauterer for the newly founded Bundesliga in 1963 , in whose first four seasons Reitgaßl was a regular at the FCK and scored 32 goals in 126 games. In his last season 1967/68 he came to three other missions, the last time on December 2, 1967 against Borussia Dortmund.

From Betzenberg he moved to the 1968/69 round to Sittardia Sittard in the Netherlands and then returned to the Palatinate and joined the amateur club SV Kirchenbollenbach (1970–1972).

In the amateur camp, the dangerous right wing striker had won the regional cup against Westphalia with 5-2 goals with the Bayern association team in 1955 - his teammates were Fritz Semmelmann and Johann Zeitler - and on May 19, 1957, shortly before his time in Karlsruhe, he had an international international match against England contested and formed the right wing of the DFB amateur team with Matthias Mauritz . Reitgaßl came to the KSC in 1959 for a short assignment in the B selection against Hungary and was appointed to the senior national team by Sepp Herberger in 1960 and scored a goal at 5-0 in Iceland. Despite the goal, he fell short of the expectations placed in him in this game, so that it was his only appearance for the German national team.

Willi Reitgaßl died on August 23, 1988 at the age of 52 in Groß-Umstadt .
