← German championship 1929/30 |
The twenty-fourth German football championship in 1931 was dominated by the global economic crisis . Mass unemployment and poverty ruled Germany. Football was also affected by this; the number of viewers fell significantly.
In this difficult time it was not surprising that some players one of their clubs signing bonus conceded that after the pure amateur ideal of the DFB was actually banned. At the big clubs like Hertha BSC , Eintracht Frankfurt or 1. FC Nürnberg , however, this had long since become common practice, and the regional associations usually turned a generous eye on the game. The West German Spielverband saw it differently this season. The association took massive action against those players who took cash and were therefore professionals in the eyes of the officials. FC Schalke 04 , whose first team was almost completely banned by the WSV, was hit particularly hard . In terms of sport, the Schalke team crashed in the Ruhr district league and would have been relegated to the second division if the ban had not been lifted after six months due to violent protests from all football fans in West Germany. Thus Schalke could still ensure relegation, but participation in the finals was no longer an option.
In north-eastern Germany there were changes in the layout of the regions. Most of the clubs in Pomerania joined the VBB and now played with the Berlin - Brandenburg teams for the regional championship. The region of the Baltic Association thus only comprised eastern Pomerania, Danzig and East Prussia .
Hertha BSC was again the title holder and successfully defended its title, something that had previously only been achieved by 1. FC Nürnberg. With their sixth finals in a row, the Berliners set a record that was set only once by the end of the championship finals in 1963 (FC Schalke 04 1937 to 1942), but could never be exceeded. The Herthaners had the luck at this final that they had not been able to do in the four winless finals from 1926 to 1929. They were clearly inferior in the duel with the Munich Lions and were deservedly 1: 2 behind until the Berliners were able to turn the tide with two clear offside hits (the referee ignored the linesman's flag in both cases). After all, the lions remained the consolation of being the first Munich team to have reached the final.
At the ATSB , the team from Lorbeer Hamburg won the German championship for the second time this year , while the German gymnastics league no longer played a title holder. By contrast, had the ATSB the communist struggle Community Red Sport unit split off and established their first national champion. The title was won by the four-time ATSB champion Dresdner SV 1910 . The German youth force played again no master.
