GDR football league 1957

The GDR Oberliga 1958 was the tenth edition of the top division of the GDR . The ASK Vorwärts Berlin became champion for the first time . The season began on March 2, 1958 and ended on November 23, 1958.

Before the season

In the tenth year of its existence, the Oberliga had visibly changed its image in contrast to the premiere season. Not a single one of the teams that started playing in 1949 had kept their name after they were first incorporated into company sports associations (BSG) and then partly into sports clubs (SC). Of the 14 league teams from 1949, five were still in the top division by 1958: Motor Zwickau , Turbine Erfurt , Lokomotive Leipzig , activist Brieske-Senftenberg and Rotation Babelsberg . Then there was the SC Chemie Halle-Leuna , which was temporarily relegated.

In addition, the league has been dominated by the south of the republic since the first season. Until 1958 every master came from the southern districts of the GDR . In addition, the entire north had a total of only six participations in the league; The Karl-Marx-Stadt district alone has already had 27. Without political interventions, such as the delegations of Saxon teams to Berlin ( Vorwärts and Dynamo ) and Rostock ( Empor ), sports groups such as Lokomotive Stendal or Rotation Babelsberg would be the only bright spots in the center or Remained north of the republic.

Another performance gap existed between BSGs and SCs. Since the creation of the SCs, only these have provided the champions and cup winners. At the start of the Oberliga in 1958, there were only two BSGs in the starting field.

Name changes

During the season, SC Chemie Halle-Leuna was merged with SC Wissenschaft Halle to form SC Chemie Halle . The football section of Chemie Halle-Leuna remained the first team in the league, while the team from Wissenschaft Halle , which played in the GDR League , competed as SC Chemie Halle II for the rest of the league season .

Season course

As in the previous season, the championship fight was decided two game days before the end in a direct encounter between the two championship competitors. The leader of the table Vorwärts Berlin prevailed 4-0 at home against Second Motor Jena and was therefore in the lead with a five-point lead. Jena had only been promoted two years earlier and had changed coaches twice in the 1958 season. The player-coach Rolf Hüfner was followed on the second match day by Heinz Pönert , who was again replaced in the summer by a newcomer who later played a decisive role in GDR football: Georg Buschner . Under Buschner, the team played a very good second half of the season (second best team) and surprisingly came second.

For Vorwärts it was the first of six championship titles and the beginning of an era of success that lasted until 1970. After the club got off to a mixed start, they dominated the second half of the season and did not give up the lead after the 16th match day. Vorwärts thus replaced the champions of 1955 (transition round), 1956 and 1957 from SC Wismut Karl-Marx-Stadt , who came fourth. Instead, the strongest competitor was initially Rotation Leipzig , but the Saxons played a weak second half and only finished in tenth place. In addition to Jena, activist Brieske-Senftenberg surprised again as third in the table.

The decision about relegation was made on the last day of the match in a remote duel between Turbine Erfurt , progress Weissenfels and Chemie Halle . Erfurt and Weißenfels had given up important points on the penultimate game day and thus gave Halle, the cup winners of 1956, another chance of staying up. But even a 2-1 away win against the eventual cup winners of the same year, Einheit Dresden , didn't help chemistry and they had to relegate for the second time. However, with an average of 16,538 spectators, Halle had the greatest popularity of all top division clubs. You accompanied Rotation Babelsberg into the second class. After ten successful years, it was Rotation to say goodbye to the big leagues. After that, the team should never play first class again.
