Club career

change

Karl Zischek started his career at Wacker in 1929. During the Second World War, Karl Zischek played quite successfully with his club Wacker and narrowly missed winning the "Gauliga Ostmark" several times. In 1947 they won the championship ahead of Rapid and the cup final 4:3 against Austria. This were the only titles in the history of the small club. Younger players like Gerhard Hanappi were the driving forces behind the Meidlingers. So Zischek ended his professional career after this season. After that he was active as a player at Meidlinger FC and SC Preßbaum. In 1950 he took over as coach at VfB Mödling.
