books on football state GDR there are now some of Hans Leske's " Encyclopedia of the East German football " about by some as a "master shot" acclaimed work " The history of the East German Oberliga " by Andreas Baingo and Michael Horn, to biographies, which indirectly also with the matter , Employs about Bernd Stange " coach between worlds" and of course especially Jörg Berger wonderful book "My two halves " I have discussed here some time ago .
More by chance I am (carried over twenty authors to work with) on Willmanns some years ago published collage encountered, which retains comfortable with statistics and tables and, instead, to just under 200 pages a superbly researched and extremely atmospheric insight granted in everyday life in the GDR-league kicker. Of special Transfer System ("Delegation") on salaries and trust deposits of "non-amateur" (a few months before the end of the GDR announced the DFV to this status of his players to FIFA), local derbies and international games to player revolts like the one in Dresden, as the kickers coach Walter Fritzsch wanted to get rid of, the authors draw on a variety of topics, which in their totality a fascinating mosaic. There are a variety of photos and newspaper clippings, and - in my eyes dispensable - team logos and caricatures that complete the picture. One learns that in the DDR-Oberliga in the late sixties, trust deposits went up to 20,000 marks, that the football dwarf were steel Brandenburg princely salaries paid up to 5,300 marks, that the Magdeburg successful coach Heinz Krüger (European Cup winner 1974) because of "insufficient development of the Olympic squad," degraded to the hall warden and was a native of Thuringia midfielder Reinhard Häfner actually been in front of a Change to FC Carl Zeiss Jena was when he put the gun to the DFV's chest: "After Dresden or Eggesin!" Eggesin time was a notorious military base in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
The fact that participated were so many journalists and writers (including Horst Friedemann, Edgar Külow , Annett Gröschner and Wladimir Kaminer ), like the change of topic and the order of contributions can sometimes seem a bit bumpy and jumpy, but that detracts from the overall impression is negligible.
Conclusion: Who less for accurate statistics and more interested in the everyday life of the East German league football player, is served with Will's book very well. Buy!
