Biography

Konietzka started his football career at his hometown club VfB 08 Lünen. Max Merkel, coach of Borussia Dortmund at that time, discovered his talent and included him into the Dortmund squad. Together with fellow striker Jürgen Schütz, he formed the most dangerous attack of the Oberliga West. Konietzka played a total of 100 Bundesliga matches for Borussia Dortmund and TSV 1860 Munich and scored 72 goals, being the second best scorer of the league from 1964–66 in the process. He was also capped nine times (three goals) from 1962–1965.

He won the German championship with Dortmund against 1. FC Köln in the last final before the introduction of the Bundesliga in 1963.

Konietzka earned his place in football history books when he scored the very first goal of the newly founded Bundesliga in the first minute of a match between SV Werder Bremen and Borussia Dortmund on 24 August 1963. His biggest successes as a player were a DFB-Pokal title with Dortmund in 1965 and championship titles with Dortmund in 1963 and TSV 1860 Munich in 1966.

His coaching career included stints with Borussia Dortmund, Bayer Uerdingen, FC Zürich, BSC Young Boys and Grasshopper-Club Zürich. He won three Swiss championships with FC Zürich between 1974 and 1976 and reached the semifinal of the European Cup 1976–77, where his Zürich side was knocked out by Liverpool FC. As coach of BSC Young Boys he twice reached the final of the Swiss Cup between 1978 and 1980.

Konietzka is married with his wife Claudia. He also took the Swiss citizenship in 1988.
