Karl-Heinz "Gala" Metzner (9 January 1923 – 25 October 1994) was a German footballer. He was born in Kassel.
He was part of the West German team that won the 1954 FIFA World Cup. In total he earned two caps for West Germany.[1] During his club career he played for Hessen Kassel.[2]
Already at the age of 17, Metzner took part in an instruction training of the
inside forward, as the half backs Horst Eckel and Karl Mai and the inside forwards Max Morlock and Fritz Walter
were too strong.

Radnički Belgrade. He played 620 times for Hessen Kassel.[3] Metzner died of heart failure
