The Gauliga Mittelrhein 1939/40 was the seventh season of the Gauliga Mittelrhein of the German Football Association . The Gauliga was played for the first time this season in two groups with six or seven teams in a round- robin tournament . The two group winners then met in two finals. In the end, Mülheimer SV 06 prevailed and was Gaumeister for the second time. As a result, the Mülheimers qualified for the German soccer championship 1939/40 , in which they reached third place in a group with FC Schalke 04 , Fortuna Düsseldorf and CSC 03 Kassel , which was not enough to advance. With Rhenania Würselen , Alemannia Aachen and TuS Neuendorf , three teams were relegated. Since the Gaume Championship was played out with ten teams in the next season, there were no promoters from the district leagues.
