Best German Football Players
The Top Ten
Franz Anton Beckenbauer is a German former professional footballer and manager. Early in his playing career he was nicknamed Der Kaiser because of his elegant style, dominance and leadership on the field, and also as his first name "Franz" is reminiscent of the Austrian emperors. Did you even see his long passes? those put world class playmaking legends on shame
Kaiser Franz is without doubt one of the best players of all time.
Beckenbauer is definitely no. 1
I love gerd muller and every other German. But der kaiser is indeed the best.
Manuel Peter Neuer is a German professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Bayern Munich and the Germany national team. THIS GUY SHOULD AT LEAST BE IN THE TOP THREE!
He is so good he saved CR7 penalty. Best goalie in the world.
He sucks.
One of the greatest scorers in football history.
The 'bomber' netted 1,461 goals in his career (more than Pele in less games) and won all the tophies (team and personal as top scorer) in all the tournaments he took part (both with Bayern M. and the National team). As far as I know he is the only one who managed to do so.
Gerd muller scored 14 goals and I believe he is an amazing dribbler. - ifgy
Mesut Özil is a German professional footballer who plays for Premier League club Arsenal. He is considered to be one of the best players in the world. Özil plays mostly as an attacking midfielder, but can also be deployed as a winger. Shame he was forced out of the team by a couple of old bags who had no understanding of his caliber and no respect for his personal background.
Ozil is the only player that has come closer to filling zidane's shoes. By the end of the career, he will become one of the greatest footballers ever.
This guy is great he plays on Arsenal for a reason!
One of the best player in the world
Most complete, most underrated
Was the best of the best
Oliver Rolf Kahn is a German former football goalkeeper. He started his career in the Karlsruher SC Junior team in 1975. Twelve years later, Kahn made his debut match in the professional squad. Oliver kahn is the best goally. - ifgy

Miroslav Josef Klose is a German professional footballer who last played as a striker for Serie A club Lazio. Miroslav klose is simply the best player that Germany has ever seen. As a debut in 2002 he scored a hat-rick in the most professional and talented way ever. He will and always be my absolute most favorite footballer and also the reason for me to be a fan of the die mannchaft!

Adolf Jäger was a German amateur striker. He played football between 1907 and 1932. According to German sources he netted a total of at least 2,000 goals in about 700 matches.
He was the first German football icon with international recognition and 18 caps for the German national side (all amateur at the time) with 11 goals.
Mario Götze is a German footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Borussia Dortmund and the Germany national team. You guys are racist and stupid! He made Germany win against Argentina! Argentina is my favourite country and lionel Messi is also the best! But Mario is the worst! Argentina lost because of Mario scored more goals than them and Argentina almost beat them but they just lost! It was all Mario's fault! I hate him SO MUCH!
Great potential to become the best, very talented

Erwin Helmchen is a forgotten goalgetter of Germany. During his career (1924-1951) he scored 618 league goals (verified) and 108 more unverified till now. Of his tally 596 were top division strucks, making him the best top division scorer of the world.
The goals in official matches of his career are estimated to be at least 850.
These stats are not recognised till know of any international football authority or statistics orgnization with RSSSF claiming that he played in 'Bezirksligen' (2nd division) which is not true.
Erwin Helmchen never played for the German national football team and there has been some speculation why that was so.
