Lothar Kobluhn (12 April 1943 – 21 January 2019) was a German professional footballer who played as a midfielder. In the 1970–71 season, while playing for Rot-Weiß Oberhausen, he was the Bundesliga's top scorer, scoring 24 goals.[1] Kobluhn had to wait 36 years for the top scorer trophy to be awarded because his club at the time, Rot-Weiß Oberhausen, was involved in the Bundesliga scandal. He finally received his award in 2007.[2]
Kobluhn later played for SG Wattenscheid 09.[3]
He died on 21 January 2019, aged 75.[4][5] His elder brother Friedhelm Kobluhn was also a footballer.[4]
