The Gauliga (later: regional league ) Lower Saxony was one of 16 Gauligen , the top soccer leagues in Germany after the National Socialist seizure of power .

history

From 1933 ten teams from Lower Saxony played for participation in the German championship, in which the Gauliga champion was allowed to take part. A year later, the championship was increased by a team, as Viktoria Wilhelmsburg from the Gauliga Nordmark was integrated into the Lower Saxony Gauliga. The number of teams then remained at eleven clubs for another year, as VfB Peine was re-entered into the league after irregularities in the league's first season in 1933/34, in which the club had to be relegated.

After several neighboring towns of Hamburg, including Harburg-Wilhelmsburg , were incorporated into the city in 1937 , the field of participants in the league experienced a strong mix, as the teams from these places from then on competed in the Gauliga Nordmark. Until 1939 ten teams played for the Gaume Championship. The league was then divided into two seasons, each with six clubs, with the season winners playing off the champions first and foremost. Two years later, the top three teams of each relay took part in a final round for participation in the German championship.

In 1942 the Lower Saxony sports area was dissolved, the league was finally split up and initially divided into the Gauligen Südhannover-Braunschweig and Weser-Ems , to which the Gauliga Osthannover joined a year later .
