mode
Compared to the previous season, the number of teams in the GDR league was increased from 20 to 24, which were divided into seasons 1 and 2. A territorial separation could no longer be recognized, because in season 1 teams from Lauter to Schwerin played, in season 2 from Jena to Schwerin. Numerous sports clubs were given new names. Talented student athletes from other university cities were brought together in the HSG Wissenschaft Halle , and the team received a place in the league without having qualified.
Name changes
Also before and during the 1951/52 season there were other renaming.

Championship finals
BSG Empor Lauter and BSG Motor Jena were promoted to the top league. In the championship finals, these first place winners of season 1 and season 2 initially competed against each other in a home and away game to play off the champions of the GDR league. But since both were able to win their home game, two playoffs were ultimately necessary to choose the champion. The BSG Empor Lauter was able to win the title.
