The Gauliga Wartburg was one of the top football leagues of the Association of Central German Ball Game Clubs (VMBV). It was founded in 1914 and existed until the VMBV was dissolved in 1933. The winner qualified for the finals of the Central German soccer championship .

overview

In mid-November 1913, the western part of the Northern Thuringia Gau was separated and assigned to the newly founded Gau Wartburg. The Wartburg-Gau was finally founded on May 10, 1914 in Gotha , a spring championship was held, the results of this round have not been recorded. The Gaumeister has not yet qualified for the Central German football final. With the beginning of the First World War , gaming operations across the association stalled in the 1914/15 season. In a district committee meeting on April 2, 1915, it was decided to hold a war championship in the district of Wartburg. The clubs should register by April 25, 1915. However, no evidence whatsoever that the association games were being held could be found. The other war seasons took place with eight or six clubs. In the 1916/17 and 1917/18 seasons , the Gaumeister Wartburgs was no longer directly qualified for the Central German football final, but first played the Thuringian football championship against the champions of the other Thuringian Gauligen . Only this winner was allowed to take part in the Central German football final.

From the 1918/19 season onwards, the Gauliga Wartburg was only second class. With the district league of Thuringia , a new top division was created, which in addition to the Gau Wartburg also included the Gaue Kyffhäuser , North Thuringia , East Thuringia , South Thuringia and West Thuringia . The VMBV then decided in 1919 to combine the remaining districts in the association area into district leagues. For the 1923/24 season , the district leagues were abolished, the Gauliga Wartburg was henceforth again first class and was initially played with five teams. The number of participating teams was gradually increased, from 1930/31 ten clubs played for the Gaume Championship.

In the course of the Gleichschaltung , the VMBV and consequently also the Gauliga Wartburg were dissolved a few months after the National Socialists came to power in 1933. No club received a starting place for the first-class Gauliga Mitte , which was newly introduced from 1933 , the clubs were instead classified in the lower divisions of the new football district.

Until it was merged to form the Thuringian regional league , the Gauliga Wartburg was dominated by SV Wacker 07 Gotha , which was able to secure all three Gaume championships that had been played up to then. At the beginning of 1920, SV 01 Gotha , which had already been successful in the Northern Thuringia district , gained strength and won three championships in the Wartburg district. From 1925, SV Preußen Langensalza dominated the league with a total of six championships. SV Wacker Gotha was able to secure the last championship played .

classification

The excessive number of first-class Gauligen within the VMBV had caused a dilution of the game level, there were sometimes double-digit results in the Central German football finals. The clubs from the Gauliga Wartburg were among the stronger clubs in the association and were able to show some respectable successes in the Central German football finals. Wacker Gotha was able to move into the third round of the game when it first participated in 1915/16 . In 1923/24 , too , the Wartburgs master craftsman beat the master champions from the more highly rated district of Northern Thuringia in the Central German football final. 1924/25 reached the SV 01 Gotha after victories over SV Wacker Nordhausen (4: 1), SpVgg Erfurt (2: 1) and a bye in the semifinals of the final round, which was lost with 2: 4 against the Sierienmeister VfB Leipzig . This result was topped by SV Preußen Langensalza , who won in the 1930/31 season through victories over VfL Olympia 08 Duderstadt (6: 1), SC Stadtilm (4: 0), FV Fortuna Magdeburg (5: 1) and the 1. SV Jena (4: 2) reached the final of the Central German football final. In the game played on March 29, 1931, the Dresdner SC was too strong and sent the Langensalzaer 0: 6 home. In the following seasons, the Gaumeister Wartburgs could no longer build on these successes and were eliminated in the first round.

In the first-class Gauliga Mitte , introduced from 1933 , no club from the Gau Wartburg was considered. During the existence of this Gauliga, no club from the former Gau Wartburg managed to qualify for this first-class league.
