But even the " native " Rotation Dresden, the Micktener newspaper people, made the "foreign" People's Police in Dresden competition. Sporty the result with the reached fifth place in the VP was satisfactory. Günter Schröter came with 32 gates on the second place scorer and was also included as a right-winger in the Allstar team of the round 1950/51. When viewers resonance neither Dresdner football teams could follow in the footsteps of Frederick 's Town.

The development of the guys around the brilliant goalkeeper Heinz Klemm, the captain and outstanding defender Herbert Schoen and the outstanding players attack Günter Schröter, Rudolf Möbius, Gerhard Hänsicke and John Matzen sat 1951/52, but continued successfully. In the league, it was enough for the runner-up behind the turbine hall and on September 14, 1952 they won 3-0 against the bottom-placed unit Pankow GDR Cup.

SC Dynamo Berlin, 1954-63

The season 1954/55 was marked by serious upheavals in the East German football. The dictated by the GDR sports management sports club training took place in the rule against the will of the players and communities. In a league of nine of the 14 communities during the 1954/55 season were umprofiliert in sports clubs. Up Lauter, the team from the small town Erzgebirge Aue at Lauter, was transplanted to the Baltic Sea, in November 1954, she ran under the name SC Empor Rostock. There large carrier companies were selected in which the Club Footballer received an employment contract, also got its corresponding content, but their activity usually could not exercise because they had to work out in the morning and afternoon.

Demoralizing the club training had an effect on the players of the remaining five league teams as well as the Communities of the following leagues. The sports clubs could take place at any time from them what they wanted. The " non " - clubs were exposed to these goings almost defenseless. Dynamo Dresden was renamed in November 1954 in SC Dynamo Berlin and delegated to the Friedrich -Ludwig -Jahn -Sportpark in Berlin. Sporty is not paid out for the Master of 1953. The SC Dynamo Berlin came with 26:26 points in mid-table in seventh place one. With the encouragement of the fans, it was very hard for Günter Schröter and his comrades. With an average of 9,653 the usual support was not comparable from Dresdner times. After the successful launch 8-0 points it was with the relocation to Berlin but soon with good form over. In January 1955 they came up with a yield of 00:10 points, setting a negative record.

The lack of traditional effect and that the SC Dynamo Berlin was virtually become the operating team of the State Security, led with this sporty dilemma. In the transitional round 1955 GDR football was changed technical and organizational Soviet model from the autumn / spring - rhythm on the calendar year. In this round, the East Berlin fans took the dynamo with the worst average attendance even less, and the points at 10:2 and 22:7 goals in home games. Schröter scored in the 13 games of the transitional round eleven goals. The Dynamo 's team lived by the ideas, play arts and gates to the outstanding player Günter Schröter.

In 1956, the class of semi- striker Schröter did not help out, the SC Dynamo dismounted from the league. With 5:21 points you had the worst away record with 7,308 spectators and the least popular with the home games. Nevertheless, the decision on the descent was " green table " brought about. At the last game decided in the meeting SC Dynamo Berlin against SC Motor Karl- Marx-Stadt who had to leave the league as the second relegated next Empor Rostock. The relegation battle won 2-1 in was subsequently awarded the Saxons because of unauthorized participation of the player Dieter Legler and the SC Dynamo had to dismount. Schröter had 25 games contested and scored eight goals.

In the GDR - League in 1957 led his team to the championship director Schröter and thus to the chances of promotion. Runner-up and Mitaufsteiger was the SC Empor Rostock. The solidarity of the fans with the club is documented by the audience of the round. The runner- Rostock came in home games on the cut of 13,769 and third-placed, SC Magdeburg construction, to 10,000 spectators. The Master and Movers SC Dynamo Berlin had to settle in the home games, on average, with 3,358 fans. Negative record was the 150 stalwarts on December 1, 1957 in a 3-2 home win against chemical Zeitz Walter Ulbricht Stadium in Berlin. Captain Günter Schröter labeled with the climber in the round in 1958 to sixth place, won the championship Zask Vorwärts Berlin. Again the team of dynamos occupied in the audience resonance the last place of the table: only 4,985 wanted to pursue their home games on average. The new master Zask was at least on 12,385 spectators. With a home record of 22:4 points - with an average attendance of 5,731 - took the team captained by Günter Schröter in 1959 season in third place. Schröter had completed all 26 Official matches and scored 13 goals. On 10 May 1959, he scored in the 5-0 home win against SC locomotive Leipzig all five goals. In the GDR Cup 1959 ( fdgb Cup ) succeeded in replay on December 13, 1959 Bruno tarpaulin Stadium in Leipzig against the master bismuth SC Karl- Marx-Stadt with a 3-2 success of the Cup win.

In the 1960 season captain Schröter came with his team in the league to second place. He had denied all 26 Duty games and scored 11 goals here. Profiled at his side in this round of young striker Emil Poklitar, the reach 14 goals in 19 locations. Poklitar then played the mid-60s when Freiburger FC to 1 FC Saarbrücken in the Regionalliga Süd.

When viewers resonance the same picture: With 4,469 average visitors the dynamo landed on the 13th place of the standings. Günter Schröter was again confirmed as an outstanding playmaker. The football people respected at least partially the footballing achievements of the two Berlin league teams. However, many sympathies were neither the Army team and especially not the "operating crew of the Stasi " met with.

On June 10, 1962 - a significant way for the sports strategists of the GDR football found the quarter-finals of the football World Cup in Chile in 1962 on this day instead - was Günter Schröter again in a cup final. Cup Winners' Cup but was SC Chemie Halle with a 3-1 success. With 36 years he graduated in the round 1962/63 again 25 games in the league and scored twelve goals.

International, 1952-62

At the championship successes Günter Schröter was, who had become a key player in the inside forward position from the winger in the National Team of the GDR not match. The causes were varied. The directives and procedures of sports political scientists in the management structure, the Squad, the League operation and the training process were in the early years of mostly national athletic upward trend is not relevant. The fight against the growing tradition by all means, this was one of the most momentous mistakes. The selection and deselection of the coach also wore a share to the non- success of the national team. By Willi Ölgardt ( 1952-53 ) starting over Hans Siegert (1954 ), János Gyarmati ( 1955-57 ), Fritz Gödicke ( 1958-60 ) and Heinz Krügel ( 1960-61 ) to Károly Soos ( 1961-67 ) experienced Günter Schröter in ten years, six national team coach. From a continuous structure as could be no question. Personally Schröter should have thought much on the Functioning of the Hungarian coach Gyarmati and Soos. The first international match on 21 September 1952 in Warsaw against Poland Schröter debuted at half- right in the national team. It was a sobering 0-3 defeat. Three years later he experienced as captain the first victory of the selection in the 3-2 success against Romania in Bucharest. In three unsuccessful qualifying participations for World and European Championships, he was in too. The qualification for the World Championships 1958 in Sweden and 1962 in Chile and the European Championships in 1960 were not crowned with success. His last international match played Schröter, who was still in the first decade of the premier league 1962/ 6 of the outstanding offensive player, on 18 November 1962 in Berlin in a 2-1 home victory over runner- Czechoslovakia. He again certain rhythm and playing culture of the national team. On the inside left position - between Peter and Roland Ducke - he acted in his 39th international game.
