Athletic career

When a new second-rate league was introduced in GDR football with the GDR league for the 1950/51 season , the company sports community (BSG) Mechanik Jena was also part of the field. The squad included 22-year-old striker Wolfgang Fischer. Usually playing as a half-left striker, he was used in 13 of the 18 league games and scored a goal. In the 1951/52 league season, BSG started under the new name BSG Motor. This time Fischer scored four goals in 19 out of 22 point games, mainly playing on the half-right. He had a significant part in the rise of Jena in the GDR league. There, Fischer was used flexibly by the two coaches Kurt Findeisen and Bernhard Schipphorst in 31 of the 32 league games in 1952/53, both in midfield and as a striker. He didn't score a goal. Since Motor Jena did not manage to stay in the league, Wolfgang Fischer played another season for Jena in the second division in 1953/54 . Called up in 24 of 26 league games, he was still part of the regular squad, but now playing continuously in midfield without scoring again. After the end of the season he said goodbye to BSG Motor Jena and joined BSG Motor Warnowwerft in Warnemünde in northern Germany . In the team that had just been promoted to the GDR league, Fischer was exclusively left midfielder in his 23 appearances in 26 point games in 1954/55 with a one-time goal. Subsequently, the GDR league, which had previously played three seasons, was reduced to one season. Since the BSG Warnowwerft only reached ninth place in their squadron, they did not qualify for the next GDR league season and had to compete in the new third-class II GDR league from 1955 . Warnemünde did not return to the first GDR league until 1970; Wolfgang Fischer's career in higher-class football was over with relegation. Within five seasons he had come to 31 league games (without goals) and 79 GDR league games (six goals).
