Winfried Herz (11 May 1929 – 9 December 2022) was a German football player.
[1] He started his career with BSG KWU Erfurt (later renamed into Turbine and finally Rot-Weiß Erfurt) in East Germany, at the time one of the best sides in the country.
In 1951 Herz fled into West Germany for political reasons,[2] where he joined Eintracht Braunschweig.
However, since those games were played before the East German Football Association became a FIFA member in 1952, they are not considered official internationals.
