The GDR Oberliga 1970/71 was the 22nd edition of the top division of the GDR . The SG Dynamo Dresden became champion for the second time . The season began on August 22, 1970 and ended on June 16, 1971.

Season course

Dynamo Dresden superiorly secured the championship. Already on the 23rd match day the Dresdeners were unmatchable ahead of Carl Zeiss Jena at the top of the table and thus won the first championship since 1953. The defending champion Jena finished second ahead of HFC Chemie, which with third place was the second-best placement in its history (after the 1952 championship ) reached. They were followed by Magdeburg and the promoted Union Berlin, whose fifth place in the table meant the best league position of all time for the Berlin club.

On the other hand, there was disappointment at the founding member of the Oberliga Chemie Leipzig, because the chemists had to relegate for the first time. In the following 20 years, chemistry was only represented seven times in the top division. Leipzig was accompanied by Rot-Weiß Erfurt; for the Erfurt it was already the fourth descent. The team from Erfurt had two points ahead of Stahl Riesa before the last match day. Due to a 1: 3 defeat at BFC Dynamo and a simultaneous win for Riesa at home against Rostock, Erfurt did not keep the class.
