Verified Timeline

Lore & Background

Aumann was born in Augsburg, West Germany. He played in the Bundesliga between 1982 and 1994. The first two years he was only reserve keeper of Bayern Munich (first choice was Jean-Marie Pfaff). In 1984, he became number 1 for the first time until his injury in November 1985. When Pfaff left Bayern Munich in 1988, Aumann became number 1. He was considered one of the best German goalkeepers at that time. With Bayern Munich he won six German championships and twice the German Cup before he transferred in 1994 to Beşiktaş, where he was to help them to a 1995 league victory. He retired from football in November 1995. Aumann played four times internationally in 1989 and 1990. He was a member of Germany's squad for the 1990 World Cup, but did not play in the tournament. He is the supporters and fan club coordinator for Bayern Munich.

In Their Own Story

The narrative of Aumann's career includes a distinct chapter following his long stay at Bayern. In 1994, he transferred to Beşiktaş, aiming to help the Turkish club secure a league victory. His move proved successful as he contributed to their Süper Lig title win in the 1994–95 season. This achievement capped off his playing career before he retired from football entirely in November 1995. On the international stage, Aumann earned four caps for Germany during 1989 and 1990. He was selected as a member of Germany's squad for the 1990 World Cup, though he did not play any matches during that tournament. His post-playing career has seen him return to his roots at Bayern Munich, where he currently serves as the supporters and fan club coordinator.
