Biography

In the 1952 Helsinki Olympic football tournament, West Germany beat Egypt 3-1 in the first round before a surprising 4-2 extra time win over Brazil in the quarter-final. They lost 1-3 to Yugoslavia in the semi-final and missed out on a medal after Sweden beat them 2-0 in the bronze medal match.

Right-back and later central defender Ludwig Hinterstocker played for VfB Stuttgart (1953-37) and Stuttgarter Kickers (1958-64) in the West German Oberliga South (later Regionalliga South). In 1954 he won the German Cup with VfB Stuttgart.
