The Gauliga Nordbayern was in the final phase of the Second World War one of the top divisions in German football during the National Socialist era .

history

The league was created in 1942 after the dissolution of the Bavarian sports class , which was replaced by two regionally smaller units , now called Gauligen again (Gauliga Nordbayern and Gauliga Südbayern ). This was mainly due to logistical reasons, due to the war there was a shortage of fuel and a lack of transport, so that longer trips away from home were noticeably more difficult to organize. For the 1944/45 season , the Gauliga Nordbayern was dissolved again, and the Bavarian sports area was divided into five districts each. A game operation only took place irregularly, only in the Munich Gau a master was determined.

In the Gauliga Nordbayern 11 (1942/42) and 10 (1943/44) teams played in a round-robin tournament for the title. The Gaumeister was qualified for the final round of the German soccer championship. 1. FC Nürnberg won both seasons , in 1943/44 Nürnberg reached the semi-finals of the German soccer championship.
