GDR League 1990/91 ↓

The NOFV-Oberliga 1990/91 was the last season of the top division of the GDR . It began on August 11, 1990 and ended on May 25, 1991. Since reunification took place during the course of the season and the German Football Association of the GDR joined the German Football Association , the newly founded Northeast German Football Association (NOFV) served as the official one Namesake for the former GDR league . The term Oberliga Nordost was also in use.

Game mode

As in previous years, 14 teams took part in the match, the match days took place between August 1990 and May 1991. In addition to the determination of the so-called NOFV champions and the participants in the European Cup, a total of eight starting places for the coming season in the Bundesliga or 2nd Bundesliga (two or six starting places) were allocated on the basis of this league season . The following applied:

• The champions and the runner-up were directly qualified for the upcoming Bundesliga season. The champions also qualified for the European Champions Cup, the runner-up for the UEFA Cup (runner-up Dresden was suspended during the season).
• The teams in places 3 to 6 were directly qualified for the coming season of the 2nd Bundesliga. The third also qualified for the UEFA Cup (the fourth also qualified due to the suspension for Dresden).
• The first six teams took part in the DFB Cup the following season.
• The teams in places 7 to 12 formed two qualification groups with four teams each with the winners of the two league seasons. The two group winners were also qualified for the 2nd Bundesliga. The other teams remained in the Oberliga Nordost as a third-class league. The two group winners and runners-up qualified for the DFB Cup.
• The 13th and 14th (the nominal relegated) also remained in the Oberliga Nordost. In a qualifying round with the other teams in the league (places 2 to 16), four other participants in the DFB Cup were determined.

Season course

The political changes after the political turnaround in autumn 1989 were also noticeable in everyday life in the league. In addition to player transfers to the Bundesliga, this also included jersey advertising. The decline in spectator interest continued unabated - with an average of 5,000 visitors, only around two thirds as many spectators attended the games compared to the previous season. They saw noticeably few goals in these games, the last time the 459 goal was undercut in the 1969/70 season when 452 goals were scored.

Two leaders: FC Rot-Weiß Erfurt and FC Hansa Rostock

The first league leader of the season was FC Rot-Weiß Erfurt after beating FC Berlin 4-0 on matchday one. Erfurt held the top position even after the second match day, before FC Hansa Rostock were at the top after three games. The Rostockers did not give up this table lead until the end of the season.

Champion: FC Hansa Rostock

FC Hansa, which was coached by ex-Bundesliga professional Uwe Reinders , dominated the action this season. Hansa was the big surprise of the season, because the last major successes - five runner-up championships - were more than 20 years ago. After that, the club had the reputation of a "gray mouse", he played several times in the second-class league and was only promoted back to the league in 1987.

It was only on the 13th match day that FC Hansa lost their first (2: 3 at Lok Leipzig), and in the top match on the 23rd match day, the team made the first championship title in the club's history perfect - with a 3: 1 against the direct pursuer and Last year's champions 1. FC Dynamo Dresden.

After the end of the league season, FC Hansa managed the double by winning the FDGB Cup (1-0 in the final against EFC Stahl).

In addition to the starting place for the Bundesliga, Hansa Rostock also secured participation in the upcoming European championship championship with the championship title.

Runner-up: 1. FC Dynamo Dresden

1. FC Dynamo Dresden, which won the championship in 1989 and 1990, played another strong season, but ultimately had to be content with second place. Dynamo striker Torsten Gütschow proved to be the most accurate in the two previous seasons and was the top scorer with 20 goals .

The audience riots during the quarter-final second leg in the European Cup against Red Star Belgrade caused negative headlines . The game was abandoned and Dynamo was suspended for two seasons, which has been statute-barred since 1999 according to Article 72a of the UEFA Disciplinary Regulations. However, the club remained the starting place for the coming season in the Bundesliga, which was secured on the penultimate matchday by a 2-1 at Lok Leipzig.

“Relegated”: FC Energie Cottbus and FC Victoria 91 Frankfurt / O.

Also several game days before the end of the season, Energie Cottbus and promoted Victoria Frankfurt (Oder) were the two nominal relegated teams and thus the first participants for the coming season in the newly created Oberliga Nordost (third league level).

Last match day on May 25, 1991

Although Hansa Rostock was already the champions ahead of time and Dynamo Dresden also secured second place due to the good goal difference, the last matchday was sporty, because participants in the UEFA Cup and clubs for the 2nd Bundesliga were still wanted. Eight clubs had the opportunity to qualify for one or both competitions or to lose their starting place they believed to be safe.

In a direct duel, Rot-Weiß Erfurt secured third place in the final table with a 2-1 win against Stahl Brandenburg, the best position since the last championship title in 1955. The club qualified directly for the 2nd Bundesliga and the UEFA Cup. Two direct opponents also faced each other in the game Chemnitzer FC - HFC Chemie, the 1-1 draw also gave both clubs a place in the 2nd Bundesliga, and the point was enough for Halle to qualify for the UEFA Cup. Carl Zeiss Jena secured the last direct starting place in the 2nd Bundesliga with a 2-0 win at Energie Cottbus. The second Jena goal by Heiko Weber was the last goal in the history of the (former) GDR league.

1. FC Lok Leipzig succeeded with the 4-1 at master Hansa Rostock a hussar piece (and the biggest defeat of the season for Rostock), but that brought nothing. The club, like the other five clubs, had to compete on the nominal non-relegation places in a qualifying round, in which two further second division clubs were determined.

What happened to the top division?

Post-turnaround time

During the last league season, East German football was exposed to the new framework conditions that were dominated by the market economy system introduced in the GDR. So who were football clubs or company sports teams forced to finance on their own future as "unincorporated associations". The hitherto privileged football clubs also had to cope with the loss of a large part of their sporting base due to the elimination of the delegation of talented players from the pool of subordinate sports communities that was practiced in GDR times. In some of the former football performance centers, the consequences of this structural bloodletting were already revealed in the major league season 1990/91, after which the major league clubs were incorporated into the now all-German league system according to their performance . The soccer clubs 1. FC Magdeburg and FC Berlin (formerly BFC Dynamo ) - placed third and fourth the year before - were no longer able to intervene in the title event, while FC Victoria 91 Frankfurt (Oder) (formerly FC Vorwärts Frankfurt / O.) And 1. FC Union Berlin had already lost their sporting connection at this point in time. As a result, all four traditional clubs only played a subordinate role in amateur football in the years that followed. In the end, however, the football clubs were able to maintain their supremacy in the last season of the major league and won seven of the eight places to be allocated that entitle them to participate in German professional football.

In the first few years in professional football, the former GDR clubs had to pay tribute to the less favorable economic environment compared to the West German competition. The lack of infrastructure in the new federal states, combined with fewer potential sponsors, forced the league clubs to have a lower financial budget, which meant that a competitive squad was hardly possible for many clubs. In the first all-German professional football season in 1991/92, the steady departure of numerous top performers could often not be compensated, which ultimately also had a sporting impact. With Hansa Rostock, one of the two upper league qualifiers had to leave the first division, in the 2nd Bundesliga, three of the six East German debutants , with the teams from Erfurt , Halle and Brandenburg, were relegated. Erfurt and Halle did not return to professional football until years later (Erfurt in the 2nd division in 2004 and Halle in the 3rd division in 2012), Brandenburg has not yet succeeded in this.

The second direct qualifier for the Bundesliga, Dynamo Dresden , always fought against relegation in his four seasons in the upper house of football and was punished several times for violating the license conditions. The final license withdrawal in 1995 was followed by direct descent into the amateur field. The other three directly qualified second division teams initially had more success. The VfB Leipzig rose in 1993 even in the Bundesliga, but was unable to stay in the league and played until 1998 in the 2. Bundesliga, then in the amateur field, was disbanded until 2004 after bankruptcy. Jena and Chemnitz stayed in the 2nd Bundesliga until 1994 and 1996 respectively and then commuted between the professional and amateur leagues.

In addition to the above-mentioned clubs, which qualified for the first or second Bundesliga in 1991/92, Energie Cottbus (promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga in 1997, to the 1st Bundesliga for the first time in 2000) and 1. FC Magdeburg (promotion in the 2nd Bundesliga 2018) promotion to at least one of the two national leagues. In addition, four teams that played in the GDR league in 1990/91 achieved promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga (in some cases in the meantime): FSV Zwickau in 1994, 1. FC Union Berlin for the first time in 2001, SV Babelsberg 03 in 2001 and FC Erzgebirge Aue for the first time in 2003.

Of the major league clubs in 1991, only Hansa Rostock (1991 to 2010) and Energie Cottbus (1997 to 2014) were able to stay in the first two leagues for a longer period of time. After Hansa Rostock was relegated at the end of the 2004/05 season, no former GDR club in the top German division belonged to a former GDR club for one season - for the first time since GDR football was integrated into the German league in 1991 . Energie Cottbus returned to the elite league for three years in 2006, until 2019 no former GDR club was present in the Bundesliga; the region was still represented in the top division since 2016, in the form of the RB Leipzig club, which was founded many years after the end of the top division . With Union Berlin, after the 2018/19 season, another former GDR upper division has been promoted to the first Bundesliga, so that for the first time since 2008, two clubs from the new federal states are playing in the Bundesliga.
