From 1906 to 1933, the men's Upper Silesian football championship was played in the Southeast German Football Association (SOFV) , with FC Preußen 05 Kattowitz winning the first and SuSV 09 by SuSV 09 the most. The Upper Silesian champions qualified for the final round of the Southeast German championship .
history
After the founding of the SOFV, the Katowice Ball Game Association decided to join the Southeast German Football Association and play for the Southeast German championship as the district of Upper Silesia. From the 1908/09 season the championship was held in several districts, the winners of which then played off the Upper Silesian champions in playoffs. At the beginning there were only two groups with the Gau Kattowitz and Ratibor , or Kattowitz and Gleiwitz , but the number increased to three in the 1913/14 season when the Gau Beuthen was added. After the First World War , the Upper Silesian championship was played in four districts (Beuthen, Gleiwitz, Kattowitz, Ratibor). In 1920/21 the Opole district was added. In the 1922/23 season, Katowice fell to Poland and the Gau was dissolved, but the Gau Neustadt was established. The Gau Beuthen was also divided into East and West, the winners of which then played the Gaume Championship. In the years to come, the individual districts were further subdivided until a system was created again in 1925/26 and the Upper Silesian championship was only held in two groups (Group I, Group II). Finally, in the following season, they were merged into just one group, which lasted until 1933. From the 1928/29 season onwards, the Upper Silesian runner-up was also allowed to take part in the south-east German finals.
At the beginning, the Upper Silesian championship was dominated by clubs from Katowice. This changed with the transition from Katowice to Poland and clubs from Beuthen, Zaborze and Gleiwitz were able to win the championship. While in the 1910s and early 1920s one could not keep up with other clubs from the Southeast German Football Association, especially from Central Silesia and Lower Lusatia, this changed with the merging of the district class into a league and the resulting bundling of forces in the middle of the 1920s. From 1929 onwards, all the Southeast German champions came from the Upper Silesian district class, and in 1933 the Southeast German runner-up came from Upper Silesia. It is also noteworthy that all Southeast German champions from Upper Silesia were only runner-up in the district class in the same season. In the course of the Gleichschaltung, the Southeast German Football Association was dissolved a few months after the National Socialists came to power in 1933. Thus the district class of Upper Silesia also ceased to exist. From 1933 the clubs were assigned to the Gauliga Schlesien or its substructure.
