Herbert Burdenski: The first football hero after dark times

At first glance, this balance does not read very remarkably: Herbert Burdenski scored two goals in five international matches for Germany between 1941 and 1951. His career was interrupted as many others through the Second World War. Who knows what would have been possible for the man who would have celebrated his 100th birthday this Thursday. History wrote "Budde" - father of the Bremen Torwartide Dieter Burdenski \ - but despite all the historical adversities. Or especially in connection with these.

In the first international match after the war, the midfield player scored the 1-0 winning goal against Switzerland by penalty. For many, this November 22, 1950 in Stuttgart marked no less than one (further) act of resuming Germany to the international community. And the name Herbert Burdenski became a synonym nationwide for a new sporting pride.

discovery and teammate of the great Schalke Ernst Kuzorra

As a twelve -year -old, Burdenski had started playing football at the Gelsenkirchen district club Erler SV 08, a year later he joined the big FC Schalke in 1935. He had been discovered at Ernst Kuzorra school championships, who also took care of the youth work in parallel with his player career at the Königsblauen. With the club's idol, almost 17 years older, Burdenski then played together in the first team of the narrow from 1940 and 1943 - and won the German championship twice as part of the famous "Schalke gyroscope" in 1940 and 1942. Burdenski celebrated his international debut on October 5, 1941 at 6-0 against Finland in Helsinki under coach Sepp Herberger.

Assauer, Reck, Rost and Özil entered his footsteps

During the war, Burdenski was stationed in East Prussia, there for a season for VfB Königsberg on the ball for a season in 1943/44. In 1949, the trained businessman moved to the Hanseatic city of Bremen for professional reasons. There Burdenski played for five years for SV Werder - and thus justified a long tradition of prominent actors who left deep traces on Schalke as in Bremen.

Big names such as Rudi Assauer, Oliver Reck, Frank Rost, Ailton, Mladen Krstajic, Fabian Ernst or Mesut Özil followed. And last but not least: son Dieter, who was born in Bremen in 1950, but grew up in the Ruhr area after the family returned and played his first Bundesliga games for Schalke. Before "Budde Junior", after the short intermediate station Arminia Bielefeld, shaped a goalkeeper era on the Weser from 1972 to 1988.

Sprößling Dieter Burdenski remained "the son of..." as a national player himself as a national player "

Despite the overpowering competitors Sepp Maier and Toni Schumacher, Dieter Burdenski overtook his father with twelve A international matches. However, as he remembers, "still remained" even after several years in the Bundesliga: the son of... ". Herbert Burdenski coached as a trainer in the 1960s and 1970s RW Essen, Borussia Dortmund, Union Solingen, the Wuppertaler SV - and in the 1975/76 Werder Bremen season with his own Filius between the posts.

A time that Dieter Burdenski looks back with mixed feelings: "That was very complicated. After all, there was no talk, he would prefer me, I was completely undisputed as number 1. But I was quite insulated in the cabin. The conversations often fell silent when I came. It was already clear to me: it was about the coach. "

Rot-Weiß Lüdenscheid In the 1978/79 season, Herbert Burdenski's last stop marked the football coach. Afterwards he acted as a member of the supervisory board of FC Schalke for around two decades until shortly before his death in September 2001, as did his son Joachim, who died in 2014. "Schalke," says Dieter Burdenski about his father, "was his great love". He passed on the love of football and a large portion of talent for generations. Dieter's son Fabian Burdenski (30), midfielder like the grandfather, is currently active for the regional league FSV Frankfurt. The name Burdenski remains present in the collective football memory for many reasons.
