Josef Kaltenbrunner

Goalkeeper Josef Kaltenbrunner was a member of the Austrian football team at the 1912 Stockholm Olympics. The team won 5-1 against Germany in the first round but was eliminated in the quarter-finals 3-1 by the Netherlands. In the consolation round Austria beat Norway 1-0 and Italy 5-1 but then lost the final to Hungary 3-0.

Domestically, Klostermann played with Rapid Rudolfsheim (until 1910), and then SK Rapid Wien (Vienna). He helped them win the Austrian Championship in 1912 and 1913. Kaltenbrunner won 11 Austrian international caps. The outbreak of World War I in the summer of 1914 finally ended Kaltenbrunner’s career, as he was immediately drafted and wounded. The healing process took a lot of time and energy, and after his recovery he was immediately sent back to war.
