Athletic career

Patzer's football career began with the company sports association (BSG) in Orlamünde, Thuringia . As a junior he played for SC Motor Jena, the East Thuringian football center. At the age of 19, Patzer moved to the central Saxon football stronghold SC Motor Karl-Marx-Stadt. There he was involved in the 1961/62 season with 38 appearances as a defender in promotion to the GDR league. In his first league season 1962/63 he played as a left defender all 26 point games. In the following season, the newcomer Albrecht Müller occupied this position and blunder came only in the second half of the season to two league appearances.

For the 1964/65 season, Patzer returned to SC Motor Jena, where he was initially only used in the reserve team. Only in the last three league games of the league team he was called up as a left defender. Patzer played his best season in Jena in 1965/66, when he played 13 point games as a midfielder between the 13th and 26th round and scored five goals. During this season, the football section of the sports club switched to the newly founded FC Carl Zeiss Jena. 1966/67 Patzer came back to only seven goalless league appearances, and the first match day of the 1967/68 season Rot-Weiß Erfurt - FC Carl Zeiss (2-1) on August 12, 1967 was his last league game. Since the FC were champions at the end of the season, Patzer still had a minimal share in this success. By the end of the season he was used in 23 point games of the 2nd team, which played in the second-rate GDR league .

In Jena, Patzer added another 24 first division games to his 28 Karl Marx Städter league games. In addition to his five league goals, he had scored one goal for the Karl-Marx-Städter Klub. In the summer of 1968 he ended his career as a football player in the performance area and worked as a math and physical education teacher.
