Edmund "Adam" Adamkiewicz (21 April 1920 – 4 April 1991) was a German footballer.
Born in Hamburg, Adamkiewicz's career began in Wilhelmsburg, where he played for Viktoria Wilhelmsburg,[1] and led him to various clubs,[2] his first spell with Hamburger SV starting in early 1940. Both of his international appearances were during World War II. On 22 November 1942, Adamkiewicz scored his only international goal.[3]
After the war finished, Adamkiewicz played for Eintracht Frankfurt during the 1946–47 season and played 21 times. In 1947 he returned to Hamburg where he became top-scorer for two non-consecutive seasons, before moving on in 1951. He was with VfB Mühlburg/Karlsruher SC for a time before returning to Hamburg once again where he joined Harburger TB.
After the end of his active career, Adamkiewicz worked as a haulage contractor. He made headlines in the spring of 1956 when he was hit by a barrel while loading his vehicle and suffered a forearm fracture and bone splinters in his upper arm.[4]
