Hans Rietmann (date of birth unknown) was a Swiss footballer who played as striker and as midfielder during the early 1900s.
Football career.
Rietmann joined FC Basel's first team for their 1900–01 season. Rietmann played his domestic league debut for the club in the away game on 25 November 1900 as Basel played a 3–3 draw with FC Zürich.
For the team the 1900–01 season was a bad season, they ended the group stage in fifth position. ;ref name="rsssf-Swiss Series A 1900/01" ; ;/ref ; A curiosity in this season was the away game on 3 March 1901. This was an away game against Grasshopper Club and it ended in a 3–13 defeat. The reasons for this high defeat can be explained with the fact that one of the players missed the train and that the team played with a number of players from their reserve team. Nevertheless, to date this remains the teams’ highest and biggest defeat in the club's history.
During the following two season Rietmann played mainly for Basel's second team who played in the Serie B, the second tier of Swiss football.
He again played for the first team in 1904, an away game in France against FC Mulhouse which ended in a high scoring 6–8 defeat. Rietmann was amongst the goal scorers. ;ref name="fcb-achiv-mulhouse-fcb-1903/04" ; ;/ref ; Between the years 1900 and 1904 Rietmann played at least five games for Basel. One of these games were in the Swiss Serie A and the others were friendly games.
