Lukas Aurednik
Lukas Aurednik began his football career as a goalkeeper Sportclub Staatsfabrik. Soon he was  used on the field due to his playing skills. From the right wing-back position he changed into a successful center forward. He got his first professional contract with  Rapid Vienna in 1935. In 1938 they became the last football champion in Austria before its annexation to the German Reich. From 1938 he played for several years in different teams before moving to the military SV Brünn in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. He played with the Brno team in the Gauliga Sudetenland, which he won with his club in 1943 and played  therefore  in the final round of the German championship. But  Aurednik was transferred to the Markersdorf Air Force Sports Club in Markersdorf an der Pielach in the same year. There were already players as Karl Durspekt, Karl Sesta, Max Merkel, Walter Dzur and Paul Zielinski . They reached the sixth place in the  Gauliga Ostmark in the 1943/44 season.
