Wolfgang Trapp (born August 1, 1957 in Hattersheim am Main ) is a former German soccer player. He played a total of 189 Bundesliga games and scored 12 goals.

life and career

Trapp comes from Hattersheim am Main and came through the youth and the amateurs of Frankfurt Eintracht in the first half of the Bundesliga season 1977/78 to his first two appearances in the professional team. On November 8, 1978 he was employed in the German national soccer team of amateurs at the international match against Holland in The Hague. In those years, Eintracht were among the best clubs in Germany, winning the UEFA Cup in 1980 and the DFB Cup in 1981 . In the team, which is peppered with experienced players such as Grabowski , Pezzey , Körbel , Nickel and Neuberger , the young defender Trapp was never able to play his way into the regular eleven in his first four professional years and only played a few games over the full season.

During the current season 1981/82 Trapp moved to SV Darmstadt 98 . There he immediately won a regular place and became captain of the "Lilien" under coach Manfred Krafft . After relegation to the 2nd Bundesliga, he stayed with the club for another year. Then he followed the call of Lothar Buchmann , under whom he had already played at Eintracht, and in the summer of 1983 switched to Offenbacher Kickers , who had just been promoted to the Bundesliga. Trapp also developed into one of the pillars of the team at OFC and scored five goals in 32 appearances as a defensive midfielder in the Bundesliga season 1983/84 . The Kickers could not keep the class, but like two years earlier in Darmstadt, Trapp stayed with the club even after relegation. However, he did not get along with the new coach Fritz Fuchs and was even temporarily excluded from the squad by him. Before the end of the first half of the 1984/85 second division season , Trapp left the club in November 1984 and joined league rivals Union Solingen . The Solingen team, dubbed the “Eleven of the Nameless” by experts, achieved sixth place under Eckhard Krautzun in this round and the quarter-finals in the DFB Cup.

It was again Lothar Buchmann who called Trapp to his next football station. Buchmann took over the relegation-threatened Bundesliga club Karlsruher SC in March 1985 . Although he could no longer prevent relegation, in the second division season 1985/86 he was supposed to rebuild the team. In addition to Trapp, there were five new players in the squad this season: Bogdan , Lars Schmidt , Pilipovic and the KSC “home grown” Kreuzer and Schütterle , who were to establish the club as top performers in the Bundesliga in the following years. The reshaped team needed some time in this first year before they performed well, so that it was foreseeable early on that a direct promotion was out of the question. Internal disagreements between the coach and the board ensured that Buchmann left before the end of the season. Trapp, however, stayed with the Badeners, who were trained by Winfried Schäfer from the new 1986/87 season . Under Schäfer, KSC was promoted to the Bundesliga, and Trapp was one of the pillars of the team with 34 appearances (3 goals) as in the first Bundesliga seasons. In the course of 1990, however, the now 32-year-old was rarely considered by coach Schäfer for the starting eleven and finally made his last appearance in the Bundesliga on matchday 8 of the 1990/91 season . The opponent was FC St. Pauli ; the team against whom he had made his Bundesliga debut almost exactly 13 years earlier, on October 22, 1977, at the Waldstadion in Frankfurt.

In total, Trapp played 189 Bundesliga and 109 second division games, in which he scored 12 and 16 goals respectively.
