Hartmut Pelka (11 March 1957, in Hohenmölsen – 23 July 2014, in Braunsbedra) [1][2][3] was a former German footballer who played for BSG Chemie Leipzig and BFC Dynamo in DDR-Oberliga.
Pelka began to play football at Aktivist Grimma Fußball in 1968. Via Traktor Zorbau and Hallescher FC Chemie, he came to BSG Chemie Leipzig in 1972, then was promoted to the senior squad in the season 1974/75.[4][5] He, being the 17-year-old striker, scored 18 goals in 22 matches plus 2 goals in the final round which decided the club's comeback to DDR-Oberliga (Chemie 2–0 1. FC Union Berlin, 10 min. and 34 min. -goal from Pelka),[6] and became the top scorer of the DDR-Liga Staffel C as well.[4] He was working for VEB Polygraph Leipzig then.
Pelka was brought from BSG Chemie Leipzig to BFC Dynamo in the summer of 1977. [7][8] With BFC, he made 67 DDR-Oberliga appearances scoring 27 goals, and 6 European Cup's scoring 3 goals, in total from the season 1977–78 to 1980–81.[9] During that period, he became the DDR-Oberliga champion three times 1979, 1980 and 1981, and lost the FDGB-Pokal final to 1. FC Magdeburg 1979 where he appeared as the substitute for Ralf Sträßer from 62 minutes of the match.[10][11] He was registered to 1981–82 squad[1] but had to hang up his boots because of medical reason at the age of 25.[2]
After the retirement from playing career, he stayed BFC Dynamo and worked as the trainer of its youth side.[12]
He died on 23 July 2014. BSG Chemie Leipzig, BFC Dynamo, fans and clubs and associations mourned his death.
