The Oberliga Hamburg (until the end of the 2005/06 season Verbandsliga Hamburg until the end of the 2007/08 season, Hamburg-League ) - is the highest Hamburger football class. Its renaming was made possible by the dissolution of the regional Oberliga Nord after the 2007/08 season. It is directed by the Hamburg Football Association (HFV), most recently (2019/20) comprised 18 teams from Hamburg, Schleswig-Holstein and Lower Saxony and, together with 13 other leagues, seven of which are also called Oberliga , the fifth-highest division in the League system in Germany . The next higher league is the Regionalliga Nord . The next lower division is the national league , which is divided into the two seasons "Hansa" and "Hammonia".

History of the league

Until 1919

Hamburg was the second city in Germany (after Berlin) to play organized for league points (from 1895/96), initially in the HAFB championship. HAFB stood for " Hamburg-Altona Football Association ". Thus not only clubs from Hamburg played there, but also from its neighboring cities such as B. the Prussian Altona and Wandsbek and (until 1914) Harburg . The first leading clubs in the league were SC Germania 1887, one of the forerunners of Hamburger SV , and Altonaer FC from 1893 . From 1905 Victoria Hamburg won the championship four times in a row and took over the supremacy. In 1913/14 the NFV Association League was formed, after which the Hamburg 1a class was only second class for one season.
Game operations were also maintained during the First World War .

1919 to 1945

After a reform for the 1921/22 season, the league was divided into two parts: Elbekreis and Alsterkreis. This made the league relatively unpopular with viewers, as the league ended almost the same way every season due to the closer vicinity. Every season, Hamburger SV won the Alster district and Union 03 Altona or Altona 93 won the Elbe district. Due to the football revolution , the 1928/29 season was completely canceled, and from 1929/30 there was again a Hamburg league in just one season. It was known as the "Oberliga" for the first time until 1933. From 1933/34 it was again two-pronged as a district class and formed the substructure of the Gauliga .

Since 1945

After the end of the Second World War , the association league was revived in 1945 under the name Stadtliga Hamburg as the highest, single-track division. From 1947 it became the Association League Hamburg , which played again in two seasons and was now only the second division below the Oberliga Nord . Altona 93 and Eimsbütteler TV each won the seasons in 1947/48. In 1950, both seasons were merged under the name Hamburg Amateur League . In 1963, after the introduction of the Bundesliga , the league was only third-rate and was called the Landesliga Hamburg . With the establishment of the 2nd Bundesliga in 1974, the Hamburg State League only became the fourth highest division. Since the current regional leagues were finally founded in 1994 , the division, which has been referred to as the Association League Hamburg since 1978, has only been in the fifth division. In 2006 it was temporarily renamed the Hamburg League .

Not only clubs from the area of ​​the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg belong to the league, but also currently six clubs from Schleswig-Holstein (e.g. TuS Dassendorf ) and Lower Saxony ( Buchholz 08 ). The reason for this peculiarity is the fact that the clubs from the neighboring districts of Pinneberg (now complete), Stormarn (southern part) and Lauenburg (ditto) decided decades ago to join the Hamburg Football Association or its predecessors. A few clubs from the Segeberg district (southern part) and (only) two from Lower Saxony also belong to the HFV.
