Hermann Nuber (10 October 1935 – 12 December 2022) was a German footballer who played as an Inside forward or libero for Kickers Offenbach. A one-club man, he reached the final of the 1959 German football championship with the club.
Club career
Nuber joined Kickers Offenbach as a youth in 1946.[2] In 1953, at the age of 17, he made his senior debut in a DFB-Pokal match against Wormatia Worms.[2] A regular starter from 1955 onwards, he helped the club reach the final of the 1959 German football championship against Eintracht Frankfurt.[2] When the Bundesliga was founded in 1963, Kickers Offenbach started in the Regionalliga, Germany's second tier at the time.[2] In 1968 Kickers Offenbach gained promotion to the Bundesliga while Nuber was placed second behind Franz Beckenbauer in Germany's footballer of the year awards.[2][3] Nuber retired from playing in 1969, after Kickers Offenbach's relegation from the Bundesliga, missing the club's win of the 1970–71 DFB-Pokal.[2] He briefly returned to play in the Bundesliga for coach Rudi Gutendorf in 1971.[2] He made 408 league appearances scoring 164 goals between 1953 and 1971.[2]
International career
Nuber played for Germany at youth level.[2] He was part of the West Germany national team's 22-man squad for the 1958 FIFA World Cup, being one of four players remaining in Germany waiting to be called up.[2]
Style of play
Nuber played as an Inside forward and later as a libero.[2] He was an ambidextrous free-kick specialist, good on the ball and known for his competitive spirit.[2]
Coaching career
Nuber was twice interim coach at Kickers Offenbach, one of those occasions coming in 1983–84, the club's last season in the Bundesliga.[2] He spent 15 years as amateur and youth coach, discovering and fostering a number of well-known footballers.[2]
Legacy
A bronze bust honouring Nuber was installed at Bieberer Berg Stadion, Kickers Offenbach's home stadium, on his 60th birthday in 1995.[4] In summer 2022 the stadium's grandstand was named "Hermann-Nuber-Tribüne" in his honour.[3] Upon his death, Offenbach local paper Offenbach-Post described him as the club's "most popular" player.[2]
Death
Nuber died on 12 December 2022 in his hometown Offenbach, at the age of 87.[2]
