The Oberliga Baden-Württemberg is a fifth level division in the league system in Germany . It was founded at the beginning of the 1978/79 season as an amalgamation of the best teams from the associations of North Baden, South Baden and Württemberg. Unlike the Oberliga Südwest , which also extends over three associations, no umbrella association was established for the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg. The league is jointly administered directly by the Württemberg Football Association , the Baden Football Association and the South Baden Football Association . Until the introduction of the third division for the 2008/09 season, it was the fourth highest division.

mode

The Oberliga Baden-Württemberg usually comprises 18 clubs. With the introduction of the third-rate regional league for the 1994/95 season, the champions of the upper league rose directly to the regional league south . Previously, the league champions took part in the promotion round to the 2nd Bundesliga . Since the introduction of the 3rd league in 2008, the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg is only fifth class and since 2012 the champions have been promoted to the Regionalliga Südwest . Since the 2013/14 season , the runner-up of the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg has had the chance to advance through promotion games against the runner-up in the Oberliga Rheinland-Pfalz / Saar and the Hessenliga .

The last three placed are relegated to the Association League Baden , Association League South Baden or Association League Württemberg . For every relegated from the regional league to the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg, another league club is relegated to the association leagues, with no more than five clubs relegated from the league even with three or four relegated regional leagues. In this case, the league would play with 19 or 20 clubs for a year.

The champions of the association leagues Baden, Südbaden and Württemberg are promoted directly to the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg. The two table runners-up of the two Baden association leagues play against each other in two promotion games, the winner of these games then plays the fourth promoted player against the table runners-up from the Württemberg association in a return game. The promotion regulation in the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg is independent of possible relegations from the regional league, so that four clubs from the association leagues are always promoted.

history

prehistory

The Oberliga Baden-Württemberg was founded in 1978. Before that, there were the four amateur leagues North Württemberg, Black Forest-Lake Constance, South Baden and North Baden , which formed the substructure of the 2nd Bundesliga South . However, it turned out that the performance gap to the second highest division was too great, especially since the four amateur leagues were only allowed to provide one promoted team and the first two promoted teams to the second Bundesliga, SSV Reutlingen and BSV 07 Schwenningen, were relegated again after just one year. The amateur leagues were renamed "Association Leagues" in the course of the introduction of the new division.

The five best-placed teams from each of the four Baden-Württemberg amateur leagues qualified for the newly founded Oberliga.

The 20 founding members of the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg were ultimately:

The first years

The first league season kicked off in August 1978. In the first season, 20 teams played for direct promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga South. In the end, SSV Ulm won the first league championship in 1846 with four points ahead of SV Göppingen . In order to reduce the league to the planned number of 18, six clubs had to be relegated after the first year. The audience participation in the premiere season was above expectations. More than 1,500 visitors came to the stadiums on average for every league game, a number that has not yet been reached.

In the following season, the amateurs of VfB Stuttgart won the title straight away as a newcomer. However, since the Stuttgart Reserve was not allowed to move up to the 2nd Bundesliga due to the professional team already playing in the Bundesliga, the right of promotion was transferred to runner-up VfB Eppingen . VfB Eppingen, who also started the season as a newcomer, managed to march straight through from the association league to the 2nd Bundesliga. In return, the VfB Stuttgart Amateurs took part in the German amateur championship instead of the Eppingen team and became German amateur champions for the second time since 1963 with a 2-1 win in the final against FC Augsburg .

With the introduction of the single-track 2. Bundesliga, there was no second division promoter in the 1980/81 season. Master SV Sandhausen therefore had no opportunity to qualify for the 2nd Bundesliga. In the period that followed, the two promotion places planned for the south were determined in a promotion round with the champions of the Oberliga Bayern , Hessen and Südwest .

The 1988/89 league season was one of the most exciting in history. At the end of the season, SSV Reutlingen and 1. FC Pforzheim were at the top of the table with 50:18 points and a goal difference of +41, so that the champions were determined by a decider based on the rules of the game at the time. This was won by SSV Reutlingen, who had already won the two-way leg during the regular season, 3-1 in front of 13,000 spectators in the Heilbronn Frankenstadion.

In the following season, two teams with equal points took the first two places again, but this time the champions Karlsruher SC Amateure , in whose ranks the later national players Oliver Kahn and Mehmet Scholl were, a goal difference three goals better than the runner-up SSV Reutlingen. Since the KSC amateurs were not allowed to advance, the SSV Reutlingen took part again in the promotion games to the 2nd Bundesliga, but could not prevail again.

The Oberliga as a regional league substructure

In 1993, the DFB decided to reintroduce the regional leagues as the third-highest division between the 2nd Bundesliga and the upper leagues for the 1994/95 season . To qualify for the newly founded league, a three-year multiplication rating was used in the south, in which the 1991/92 season counted once, the 1992/93 series double and the 1993/94 round triple and the best six teams moved into the regional league. Since the Stuttgarter Kickers were relegated from the 2nd Bundesliga at the end of the 1993/94 season, with the champions SSV Ulm 1846, SSV Reutlingen, VfR Mannheim , TSF Ditzingen and SpVgg 07 Ludwigsburg , only five other league teams were able to do so take part in the first regional league season.

The introduction of the new 3rd league as well as another regional league season from the 2008/09 season meant that the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg had increased promotion after the 2007/08 season ( SC Freiburg II , SSV Ulm 1846 , SV Waldhof Mannheim and 1. FC Heidenheim ) in the Regionalliga Süd. In addition, there was a reduced relegation from the upper to the association league ( TSV Schwieberdingen and SV Linx ). In order to be able to play in the football league with 18 clubs in 2008/09 , a total of six teams have been promoted from the three lower leagues Baden , Südbaden and Württemberg . On the one hand, these are directly the champions of the association leagues Baden ( ASV Durlach ) and Südbaden ( Offenburger FV ), as well as the first and second place winners of the association league Württemberg ( TSG Balingen and SpVgg Au / Iller ). The two remaining promotions were played by the runners-up from South Baden ( Kehler FV ) and Baden ( Amicitia Viernheim ) as well as third place from Württemberg ( FV Illertissen ). All three teams scored three points in a simple round, where each club played a home and an away game. The better goal difference gave Illertissen (5: 4 goals) and Kehler FV (5: 5) the promotion, while Amicitia Viernheim (3: 4) failed.

For the 2017/18 season, a separate logo for the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg was introduced for the first time in order to create a uniform appearance for the league played by the three state associations. The shape of the logo should refer to a master pennant , whereby the laterally overlapping circle should represent a ball.

Venues of the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg 2019/20

From the establishment of the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg in 1978 to 2019, a total of 98 clubs have played in the highest Baden-Württemberg division. With the newly promoted 1. FC Rielasingen-Arlen from southern Baden , Club 99 joins the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg. The club with the longest league membership is SV Sandhausen , which belonged to the Oberliga 28 seasons. This is followed by VfR Mannheim and SSV Reutlingen , each with 25 league seasons.

In addition to the long-standing members of the upper league, the league was shaped above all by well-known traditional teams such as the former Bundesliga clubs SV Waldhof Mannheim and SSV Ulm 1846 and the former German champions Freiburg FC and VfR Mannheim . There are also clubs from smaller towns, such as the Sportfreunde Dorfmerkingen from the smallest upper league village to date, as well as the amateur teams from various professional clubs.

With two clubs from the Bavarian Illertissen ( SpVgg Au , FV Illertissen ) and the Hessian club Amicitia Viernheim , three clubs that do not come from Baden-Württemberg, but from neighboring cities, also played in this league.

The champions and promoters of the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg

SSV Ulm won most of the championships of the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg in 1846 with eight titles, followed by SV Sandhausen with six titles. Despite the six championships, SV Sandhausen only rose twice to the Regionalliga Süd . In 1985 and 1987, the North Baden team failed in the promotion games to the 2nd Bundesliga against representatives from Hesse and Bavaria, and in 1981, due to the establishment of the single-track Second Bundesliga, no promotion round was held, as was the introduction of the two-track regional league in 2000.

However, other teams such as VfB Eppingen in the 1979/80 season and TSG 1899 Hoffenheim 2000/01 managed to march straight through. VfB Eppingen rose in 1980 as second in the table directly to the 2nd Bundesliga South, because the then champions VfB Stuttgart Amateure were not eligible for promotion. For Eppingen, however, the joy of the ascent was short-lived. After the direct relegation from the second division, another league march followed in the 1981/82 season, but in the opposite direction. Also in second place in the table, SC Pfullendorf rose to the regional league in 1998 . In the promotion round held at that time, they prevailed against SV Bernbach and SG Quelle Fürth , the runner-up in the Oberliga Hessen and Bavaria .

Aside from VfB Eppingen, only eight-time champions SSV Ulm 1846 made it to the 2nd Bundesliga in 1979, 1983 and 1986. It wasn't until 2012 that SV Sandhausen and VfR Aalen managed to advance into the 2nd Bundesliga. Two years later, 1. FC Heidenheim followed.

reporting

Most regional and national newspapers in the state regularly report comprehensively on backgrounds and games of the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg. In addition, there is a multi-page column on the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg in the regional section of kicker, which appears twice a week . For several years now, there have also been several online offers such as irsport.de or Doppelpass-Online , some of which are also reported via web radio.

The broadcasting rights for television and radio were granted by the DFB to ARD and ZDF up to 2009 in a rights package that includes, among other things, the national team games, the DFB Cup as well as the regional and major leagues . From the income generated from this, each league team received around 30,000 euros, which were no longer applicable from the 2008/09 season after the introduction of the new third division. Although the public broadcasters owned the rights, there have been no television broadcasts of the Baden-Württemberg league since the Regionalliga was introduced in 1994. Previously, the third television programs of the Süddeutscher Rundfunk and Südwestfunk as well as the radio had reported. A new online service was introduced for the 2009/10 season. There are videos available on the Internet for all games with the game highlights.
