The Gauliga Südbayern was in the final phase of the Second World War one of the highest 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 5 districts each. A game operation only took place irregularly, only in the Munich Gau a master was determined.

In the Gauliga Nordbayern 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 TSV 1860 Munich and Bayern Munich each won once the Gaumeisterschaft, but arrived at the German football championship no front places.
