Venues of the district class Magdeburg-Anhalt 1939/40 (blue = master / yellow = relegated) |
The district class Magdeburg-Anhalt 1939/40 was the seventh season of the second-class district class Magdeburg-Anhalt, which has been the substructure of the Gauliga Mitte since 1933 . The first game year, which had to be completed under the conditions of the Second World War . In addition to the cancellations of the two Harz clubs, there were also complaints about the two Altmark clubs from Stendal and Tangermünde. It was no longer possible for all of them to meet the demands of an orderly game operation. Thus, the class lost a total of five competitors without prior sporting disqualification due to unfortunate circumstances. Football was also a victim of the conditions. The first game day was scheduled for December 10, 1939. 14 game days with three games each had to be played (so that a club was always free of play). Due to the descent of the Magdeburg Fortunes, there were still seven clubs that were eligible and willing to play. Ultimately, the favorite inevitably prevailed with four minus points and aimed for an immediate return to the Gauliga, which, however, repeatedly failed. The SpVgg Zeitz and the SC Apolda proved in the promotion round as superior. A notable third league place in the season went to promoted VfB Groß-Ottersleben. The MD-Randstädter even earned a positive point account, which really few expected. The way to the new 2nd class had to compete with promoted SV Bernburg 07 and, surprisingly, last year's district champion FC Preußen 02 Burg . In contrast, VfL Viktoria-Neustadt managed to quickly and immediately rise again in 1860 . With the SC 1910 Oschersleben, an absolute newcomer to the class also achieved the much-acclaimed promotion to 1st class . Since the number of clubs was increased to eight again for the coming season, the third place in the round was also allowed to go high. The Dessauer SV 98 managed it even after seven long years again to return to the class in which he was to make as the next champion, sensational and startling sensation.
