In the third league round with Gera - 1951/52: 14th place in the final table - he experienced crowd trouble against the referee after the game against bismuth Aue on October 21, 1951, led to a space lock. In the fourth year of the descent was made. Since the descent of Gera was clear early on, the Gera district wanted to at least secure the other team (Jena), the league membership and Manfred Kaiser should go for reinforcement to Jena. He coached already in Jena, but the GDR sports committee did not issue exchange release and therefore played the Emperor in March 1953 for Gera. This indirect " forced break " He came in this round only 23 games with four goals. In the second class, it was enough 1953/54, behind chemistry Chemnitz to second place, so that the ascent target was narrowly missed.

The team of coach Karl Dittes ( November 2, 1952 to May 24, 1955) was on the way to develop into a top team. At the latest after the additions of Gera had one with the brothers Karl and Siegfried Wolf, Willy Tröger, Armin Günther, Erhard Bauer ( Captain 1954-1959 ) and Klaus Thiele a framework of outstanding rounders available. The strengths of Manfred Kaiser, the speed and technique, the tactical behavior and early detection of the game situation as well as its direct game, his long passes and the onset of the players could be performance-enhancing develop and mature to the true mastery in this framework. This was followed in the transition Round 1955, the first course and three championships in 1956, 1957 and 1959. During the third title Dieter Erler worked with, who was also changed from Gera to Aue and at that time was regarded as the greatest talent in the GDR football.
