International career
On 16 May 1910, he played his only international, against a Belgium. Like Alfred Berghausen, Lothar Budzinski-Kreth and Christian Schilling, who wanted to follow the match, Breynk was called to the court at short notice by the auditorium been because the team had arrived with only seven players.[5] The match in front of 8,000 spectators in Duisburg, in which he came in for Peco Bauwens in the 55th minute, was lost under these circumstances, however, clearly with 0:3.
