The GDR Oberliga 1972/73 was the 24th edition of the top division of the GDR . The SG Dynamo Dresden became champion for the third time . The season began on September 16, 1972 and ended on June 23, 1973.
Season course
The three dominating teams in GDR football in the 1970s Dynamo Dresden, Carl Zeiss Jena and 1. FC Magdeburg made the first three places among themselves this time. Dresden took on a dominant role and was consistently at the top of the table from the fourth game day. In the end, Dynamo achieved 42 plus points - an average of 1.62 points per game, which was a new league record at the time. The 61 goals scored (2.35 per game) by Dresden were also the best average since 1960 (at that time Vorwärts Berlin scored 73 goals in 26 games). Because of these achievements, Dynamo was chosen as the second league team (after Rostock 1961) to the sports team of the year .
Despite this dominance, Dresden only secured the championship on the penultimate matchday. The reason for this was the equally strong Jenenser, who from the seventh matchday on were close behind Dresden in second place. The gap to third Magdeburg, who had already won the cup during the season, was correspondingly large, so that second place in the UEFA Cup went to fourth in the table. This was won by 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig, which overtook FC Karl-Marx-Stadt on the last match day.
The fight against relegation was ultimately decided between Rot-Weiß Erfurt, Union Berlin and HFC Chemie. Halle was on a non-relegation zone for a long time and only slipped shortly before the end. On the last day of the match, the “chemists” had the worst starting position and were relegated after a 4: 5 against Magdeburg. 1. FC Union, who were twelfth ahead of Erfurt before the match day, had to be overtaken by a defeat in Jena and a simultaneous away win for Erfurt in Frankfurt.
