Franz Hanreiter

**Franz Hanreiter** (* 4 November 1913 in Vienna, Austria-Hungary; † 21 January 1992) was an Austrian football player.

## Career

Franz Hanreiter began his career at SC Burgtheater . With the team he celebrated promotion to the Second Division in 1932. Then he had a brief stint at SK Admira Wien at the beginning of 1933. Then he moved First Division club SC Wacker Wien . There he played as a striker. The newcomer quickly became one of the club's key players.

Franz Hanreiter moved to the French first division team FC Rouen at the end of 1936. In 1937 and 1938, FC Rouen finished the season in fourth place in Division 1. In 1938, Franz Hanreiter returned to Austria, which had by then been annexed by the German Reich. Maybe the reason was the reduction in the number of foreign players to two per team introduced in Franc. He joined his former club SK Admira Wien. With Admira he won the Fußball-Gauliga Ostmark 1938/39.

After being called up as a soldier to the Eastern Front, Franz Hanreiter was still able to play football in the soldiers' team "Rote Jäger" of Luftwaffe officer Hermann Gra. There he played with prominent German teammates such as Fritz Walter, Alfons Moog and Hermann Eppenhoff.

## International

He played 6 matches for the Austrian national football team from 1935 to 1936 and scored two goals. After the annexation of Austria by Nazigermany he played 7 matches for the German national football team from 1940 to 1942.
