Career
Karger moved from amateur club Football Club Burgsolms to the Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt in 1979. The qualified mail man scored nine goals in 23 appearances in his first season. The rising star suffered a collateral ligament damage in this match that forced him to end his Bundesliga career after 28 Bundesliga fixtures.
Because of his heading strength, Karger was awarded the nickname Schädel-Harry (Skull Harry) by journalists.
After initial tenures at some local amateur clubs, Karger is one of twenty youth coaches in the football academy of Eintracht Frankfurt and works together with former Eintracht players like Charly Körbel, Ralf Weber and Norbert Nachtweih.
