Wolfgang Lischke

Wolfgang Lischke (born July 4, 1947 ) is a former German football player who played in the GDR Oberliga , the highest league in GDR football, between 1969 and 1980 . With Dynamo Dresden he was GDR soccer champion in 1973.

Athletic career

As a teenager, Wolfgang Lischke first played handball. At Chemie Premnitz he made it up to the junior national team, but had to give up this sport at the age of 19 due to a complicated cross break.

He therefore turned to football and joined the BSG Chemie Piesteritz , with whom played in the fourth class district class until 1968. In the summer of 1968 Lischke moved to the second-rate GDR league for BSG Chemie Zeitz . As a striker, he played all 15 point games of the first half of the 1968/69 season and scored three goals. He was then banned for six months. From the 1969/70 season on, Lischke played for BSG Stahl Riesa in the GDR major league. In Riesa, too, he was only used in the first half of the season. Up to the 11th matchday he was used in ten league games, but was only seven times in the starting line-up as a striker and did not score a goal. On the 11th matchday he injured himself so badly that he was out for the rest of the season. Lischke made his breakthrough in the major league in the 1970/71 season, when he played 24 of the 26 major league games for Stahl Riesa and was usually called up as a center forward with thirteen goals. Also in 1971/72 Lischke was the undisputed center forward at Stahl Riesa. In the 26 league games he was used 22 times, but could not score a goal. The entire team was poor in goal, so they had to relegate.

In order to stay in the league, Lischke moved to Dynamo Dresden at the beginning of the 1972/73 season. There his hopes were only partially fulfilled. Lischke could not prevail against Dynamo's selection storm with Frank Richter , Dieter Riedel and Gert Heidler . Only when Riedel was injured in the middle of the first half of the season did coach Walter Fritzsch use the newcomer in five league games as a center forward. Lischke also played a half in the second round match of the UEFA Cup against Ruch Chorzów . After that, Lischke only came on at the beginning of the second half of the UEFA Cup quarter-finals against Liverpool over the entire game and on the 21st Bundesliga matchday as a substitute. In the rest of the time he played with the GDR league team Dynamo Dresden II, which he helped to win the relay with 13 of 22 point games and four goals. After all, with six league games he also had a share in winning the GDR championship for the first team.

In view of the low number of appearances in Dresden, Lischke made another change and joined the top division chemistry Leipzig . There he was able to gain a foothold immediately in 1973/74 and played 21 of the 26 league games mainly as a center forward. Like Lischke, who only scored two goals, Chemie had few goals overall and had to be relegated. In the GDR league season 1974/75, the new coach Karl Schäffner Lischke, who had previously played almost without exception as a striker, played as a right defender for the entire season. Lischke only missed one point game and was called up in all eight promotion games. Chemie Leipzig won the promotion round and returned to the league for the 1975/76 season. Even in the second year under Schäffner, Lischke kept his position on the right side of the defense, but was nevertheless, together with Bernd Trunzer, the chemists' top scorer with five goals. The team again missed relegation and then played for three seasons again in the GDR league. Chemie Leipzig was the relay winner three times, but only managed to rise again after the third attempt. Lischke played 52 games of the 66 league games and was in 22 of the 24 promotion games. In 1976/77 coach Schäffner initially let him continue playing in defense, but put him back in attack in the last six promotion games. There he also played in the following two seasons and was in the promotion year 1979, now under coach Dieter Sommer , with 16 goals again top scorer of the Leipzig. The 1979/80 league season was Lischke's last season at Chemie Leipzig. Playing as a striker again, he only missed one point game and took the top scorer's crown at Chemie Leipzig for the last time with six goals. This time, too, the team failed to keep up.

For the 1980/81 season, Lischke moved at the age of 33 to the district division chemistry Markkleeberg . There he immediately got the top scorer's crown with 23 goals, both with his team and in the district league. He also helped TSG win the district cup. A year later he made it to the GDR league with Markkleeberg. In the following two GDR league seasons Lischke secured the team as a regular player the league, played 35 of the 44 league games and was the best scorer at Chemie Markkleeberg with eight goals each. At the age of 27 he moved to the 2nd team in the district league, where he remained active as a football player until 1986.

After the end of his career as a football player, Lischke worked as a football trainer or trainer. He only trained lower-class teams such as TSG Schkeuditz , Chemie Markkleeberg and LVB Leipzig , as well as teams in Wolfen , Weißenfels and Markwerben . He led the Leipzig club Knautkleeberger SC twice to promotion and to the city cup. Most recently, from 2009, Lischke was the coach of the Leipzig city division TSG Blau Weiß in Großlehna .
