The German football league was 1946-47 as in the previous season due to the damage of World War II not played. Instead, zone championships were played in almost all occupation zones (except for the Soviet occupation zone ) and in the four-sector city of Berlin .
history
In the second year after the war, the reconstruction and organization of German football continued to make progress despite difficult framework conditions. In the American zone of occupation , the Oberliga Süd played the entire season with 20 clubs, with 1. FC Nuremberg becoming the sovereign south and zone champions. In the French occupation zone , the Oberliga Südwest played in two seasons: the southern relay for the southern Württemberg / southern Baden region , the northern relay for the Rhineland-Palatinate / Saarland region . The south winner VfL Konstanz met the north winner 1. FC Kaiserslautern . The Lauterer won clearly and became French zone masters; thus began the great era of 1. FC Kaiserslautern, which was to last until the mid- 1950s . In Berlin , the single track City League with 12 clubs started; City champion was the SG Charlottenburg, behind which the traditional club Tennis Borussia Berlin hid.
A zone master was also determined for the first time in the British zone of occupation this season. However, there was no regional or zone-wide league here, rather the champions were determined in a final round in which eight teams, four each from western and northern Germany, took part. Hamburger SV became the first zone master . In the British zone, however, they were already playing for future league places; because for the following season a Oberliga West and a Oberliga Nord should be brought into being. The future organization of West German football was taking shape.
In contrast, there was initially no championship in the Soviet occupation zone . However, regular gaming operations were set up at city, district and district level. As was the case a year earlier in Berlin, no real clubs were allowed to play - as is well known, they were dissolved throughout Germany in 1945 by a resolution of the Allied Control Council - but only sports groups (SG) from cities or districts. In Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania a state class has already been set up that played in two seasons and in which SG Rostock-Süd prevailed as the first state champion. In Brandenburg , too, a first regional champion was determined in a final round of the respective district champions. SG Cottbus-Ost prevailed 3-2 in the final against SG Forst-Mitte . No champions have yet been determined in the other countries.
