The GDR Oberliga 1959 was the eleventh edition of the top division of the GDR . The SC Wismut Karl-Marx-Stadt became champions for the third time . The season began on March 8, 1959 and ended on November 28, 1959.
Before the season
With the descent of SC Chemie Halle and the rise of Chemie Zeitz and Lokomotive Stendal , the number of sports clubs in the top league had decreased for the first time in five years .
Season course
The championship decision was made on the last day of the match. The SC bismuth Karl-Marx-Stadt , with just two points promising ago Followers forward Berlin lying, won at Lokomotive Leipzig and so the fifth title clinched in just five years (three times champion, once cup winners and champions the transition round). But this was also the last GDR title that Wismut won. Vorwärts lost its title, among other things, because Horst Assmy and Rolf Fritzsche, two of the best players in the West, left.
Dynamo Berlin finished as the third best team , which a little later prevailed in the FDGB Cup final against the newly crowned champion Wismut. However , Dynamo did not take part in the European Cup Winners' Cup , which was held for the first time in 1960 , as the DFV sent Vorwärts Berlin as an East German representative. Motor Jena came in fifth . The brothers Roland and Peter Ducke (Peter only came to Jena at the beginning of the season) played a major role in the success of the Jenensians, and from then on both of them were to have a lasting impact on GDR football.
The fight against relegation remained open for a long time. Before the penultimate matchday, the last three teams each had 15 points: Lokomotive Stendal (goal difference −13), Turbine Erfurt (−19) and Einheit Dresden (−21). On the penultimate matchday there was a direct duel between Stendal and Dresden. With a 2-1 win for Dresden, both teams swapped positions in the table (Erfurt played a draw). Since Dresden won its game against Jena on the last day of the match, Stendal, who had been promoted from the previous year, and the 1954 champions Turbine Erfurt were relegated.
