William "Jimmy" Hartwig (born 5 October 1954) is a German former professional footballer who played as a defensive midfielder.[1] He played for Kickers Offenbach, TSV 1860 Munich, Hamburger SV, 1. FC Köln and FC Homburg of the Bundesliga[2] and for Austria Salzburg of Austria. The son of an African-American soldier and a German mother, Hartwig was one of the first black players in German and Austrian football.[source?]
Hartwig won the European Cup in 1983 with Hamburger SV, and was three times German league champion in 1979, 1982 und 1983 and three times league runner-up with Hamburger SV. He also earned two caps for the West Germany national team,[3] making him only the second non-white player (after Erwin Kostedde) to achieve this feat.
After his playing career, Hartwig worked as a coach at FC Augsburg in 1989[4] and FC Sachsen Leipzig in 1990.[5] He entered the TV business, where he has been working ever since,[5] whilst also appearing in the theatre as an actor.[6]
