Wolfgang Barthels (born November 23, 1940 in Marienburg / West Prussia ) is a former German football player. In the top division of GDR football , the Oberliga , he played for SC Empor and its football club spin-off, FC Hansa Rostock . Barthels played twice in the GDR senior national team .
Athletic career
BSG and club stations
Barthels, who grew up in Thuringia, played in his youth from 1950 to 1953 for Traktor Plaue. In 1954 he moved to Rostock , where he registered with the BSG unit Rostock , which was number 1 in Rostock football at that time. With the establishment of SC Empor Rostock in November 1954, Barthels moved to the football section of the sports club . After he was first used in the youth teams and the reserve eleven, Barthels came on May 18, 1959 in a friendly against the city selection of Shengyang (2-0) for the first time in the league team. A month later he played his first league point game against BSG Motor Zwickau (June 14, 3-0) in the right wing position.
In Rostock, Barthels had become a fixture in the right striker position. In his eleven-year league career (1959-1970) fell the so-called silver era of the Ostseestädter. The Rostock team won the runner-up four times and was twice in the final of the GDR football cup . Strangely enough, however, Barthels never played in the cup finals for the North Germans. When the qualified sports teacher said goodbye to the East German elite class at the end of the 1969/70 season, he had 221 top division point games in which he scored 45 goals. In the Rostock record lists, Barthels is among the top 10 in each case. He is 9th in the field and 7th place among all Hanseatic league shooters.

After his club days in Rostock , Barthels played for BSG Schiffahrt / Hafen Rostock from 1970 to 1975 . With the team he rose to the second-rate GDR league in 1972 and played 50 games (seven goals) for the Rostock port's company sports club .
Selection bets
As early as March 8, 1959, Barthels made his first international appearance in the GDR junior team game against England. In the 4: 3 win, he immediately contributed a goal. He played a total of eight times for the East German U-18s, with whom he finished fourth at the final round in Bulgaria in the spring of 1959 at the UEFA youth tournament, the unofficial European championship in this age group. In the early 1960s, he played three games for the youngsters and until 1965 nine appearances in the national B team .
On December 17, 1963 and January 12, 1964, he was used in the games of the GDR national team against Burma and Ceylon. In the 12-1 win against Ceylon, the GDR scored the first goal after just three minutes - it was also the 100th goal in the history of the national team. Although he scored another goal in this game, Barthels could not prevail against the right wingers Rainer Nachtigall and Hermann Stöcker , so it stayed with these two international matches. In 1964, Wolfgang Barthels was part of the GDR Olympic team , which won the bronze medal in Tokyo. He played two games in the European qualifying round as well as the encounter between the GDR and Mexico in the preliminary round of the Olympic soccer tournament in Tokyo, where he scored the opening goal in a 2-0 victory.
Further career
After finishing his active career, he worked as a sports teacher at a Rostock vocational school and was a trainer for the F-youth team at FC Hansa.
