The Gauliga Oberschlesien was one of the top German football leagues during the National Socialist era . It was introduced in 1941 together with the Gauliga Lower Silesia as the successor to the Gauliga Silesia .

history

After the championship of the Gauliga Silesia in 1940/41 was canceled due to the war, the Football Department decided to subdivide the Gauliga Silesia among other Gauligen . 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 this reason, the Gau Schlesien was divided into the Gauliga Upper Silesia and the Gauliga Lower Silesia . In Upper Silesia Fußballgau all clubs playing in the District of Upper Silesia the former Gauliga Silesia without teams from Oława and Brzeg , who moved into the dormer Reich Lower Silesia.

In the Gauliga Oberschlesien 10 teams played in an all-round tournament for the title. The Gaumeister was qualified for the final round of the German soccer championship. The 1944/45 season began on November 26, 1944 with 10 teams in the district class and 26 in the district class, but had to be terminated prematurely due to the war. The last day of the match was January 14, 1945, with 1. FC Kattowitz leading the table . With the end of the Second World War and the annexation of Upper Silesia , the Gauliga also ended. The German clubs were dissolved.

Kurt Otto , who had become German runner-up with FC Schalke 04 in 1933 and coached the Polish national football team from 1935 to 1937, was the coach of the Gauliga team . For the selection team that took part in the Reichsbund Cup, some former Polish national players competed, including Ewald Dytko , Erwin Nytz , Teodor Peterek , Ryszard Piec , Wilhelm Piec , Ernst Willimowski , Gerard Wodarz and Georg Wostal . Some of these top players had to answer in the summer of 1945 for “ collaboration ” with the Germans before the Stalinist Polish secret police UB . But the majority of them were soon able to take part in the games of the re-established Polish leagues.
