The Oberliga Süd was founded after the Second World War in 1945 as the first football league in Germany. Until the introduction of the Bundesliga in 1963, it was one of five squadrons of the top division in German football in the field of the DFB . It initially comprised the states of Hesse , Württemberg-Baden and Bavaria . In 1950, the clubs from Württemberg-Hohenzollern and southern Baden also returned to the South German Football Association .
The league's players were formally amateurs until 1947/48 , when a provisional contract player statute came into effect before the re-established DFB put one into effect for all major leagues in 1949 .
The top-ranked clubs represented the Oberliga Süd at the games for the German football championship , which was played in a final round until the Bundesliga was introduced. The teams in the last places were relegated to the "old" II. Division , which had been the second highest German contract player class in the south since 1950 (a second division had been set up in the west in 1949, followed by the south-west in 1951). Only in the north and in Berlin did these “old” second leagues not exist. There was the first amateur league below the major league.
With the introduction of the Bundesliga , the previous top leagues became regional leagues . These then had the rank of the second highest German division and those teams that had not qualified for the newly created Bundesliga continued to play there (in 1963 there was no relegation). From the south, Südmeister TSV 1860 Munich , runner-up 1. FC Nuremberg as well as Eintracht Frankfurt , Karlsruher SC and VfB Stuttgart were included in the new Bundesliga.
history
prehistory
Shortly after the end of the Second World War , the Stuttgart VfB goalkeeper Ernst Schnaitmann and the Upper Government Council and later DFB employee Curt Müller had the idea of creating a first division, similar to the one in England, which would at least include the US zone of occupation . They found comrades-in- arms in the student council and president of VfB Stuttgart Fritz Walter and in Gustav Sackmann, another VfB member. As a result, Sackmann was traveling in the completely destroyed country under the most adverse travel conditions, in order to visit the clubs in southern Germany that were eligible for the new league in the view of the Stuttgart and to propagate the idea of the Oberliga Süd. Two years later he was one of the licensees for a private German professional league outside the DFB, which, however, did not materialize.
The selection criteria for the composition of the new league were never known. It seemed as if Fritz Walter, who had organized the so-called city comparison competitions since 1942, in which two large southern German cities such as Stuttgart (VfB / Kickers), Mannheim (VfR / SV Waldhof) or Munich (Bavaria / 1860) competed against each other, also in the new league, guided by the idea of double representatives from one city or region. The cities of Stuttgart , Augsburg , Munich , Karlsruhe , Mannheim and Frankfurt am Main were each represented twice. There were also Nuremberg / Fürth , Offenbach and Schweinfurt . Cities like Kassel , which is located in the far north of the American occupation zone, were not included in the first place for traffic reasons. At other clubs that were not taken into account, such as 1. FC Pforzheim or FC Hanau 93 , protests arose after the founding of the upper league became known, without this having an impact on the composition of the league.
On September 22, 1945, the representatives of the 16 selected clubs met for the first time at the “Krone” inn in Fellbach near Stuttgart . It was assured that these were "without exception represented by two to four politically impeccable club officials". The "Association of South German Football Clubs", founded on the same day, was to take over the further organization. After the Stuttgart US city commander Jackson had given permission to carry out the season on September 29, the southern German league was founded on October 13, 1945 and Fritz Walter was elected chairman.
At the beginning of November the first league round began, which was held despite the greatest difficulties with the following 16 founding members:
- BC Augsburg
- TSV Schwaben Augsburg
- Eintracht Frankfurt
- FSV Frankfurt
- SpVgg Fürth
- Phoenix Karlsruhe
- Karlsruhe FV
- VfR Mannheim
- SV 07 Waldhof
- FC Bayern Munich
- TSV 1860 Munich
- 1. FC Nuremberg
- Kickers Offenbach
- 1. FC Schweinfurt 05
- Stuttgart Kickers
- VfB Stuttgart
Founding years
The first southern German league season kicked off on November 4, 1945. Six weeks later, the joint directive 23 of the Allied Control Council was available, which, according to its wording, actually excluded a district and even transnational league, such as the league. However, this had already been through several game days and could be continued seamlessly after the Christmas break .
The records of the first matchday are incomplete, the number of spectators is only partially known: 16,000 in Nuremberg, 8,000 in Augsburg, 6,000 in Stuttgart, which was the first table leader with VfB. As the only player on the pitch at the first division league in November 1945, Max Morlock was still there after 18 years in the last division round before the Bundesliga was introduced. In the first few months there were no clear change regulations, which meant that the fluctuation in the clubs (also because of released prisoners of war and refugees from the east) was extremely high. While the top teams VfB Stuttgart and 1. FC Nürnberg managed with 18 players each, there were 30 different players in the 30 games for Fürth, 33 for Offenbach and 30 different players.
The first South German soccer champion since 1933 was VfB Stuttgart.
Crowds flocked to the major league games. Sunday after Sunday, the encounters turned out to be real crowd pullers. The league was so well received that money quickly accumulated in the clubs' coffers.
