The list of South German soccer champions includes all champions of the South German Soccer Association from 1899 to 1933 as well as the champions of the highest regional leagues from 1904 to 1933.
The Southern German Football Association was founded in October 1897 as the " Association of Southern German Football Associations ", and was renamed to today's name in 1914. The first round of the championship took place in 1898/99 . Until 1903, the champions were determined exclusively in cup mode due to the comparatively small number of participants; for the 1903/04 season , a league game was organized for the first time on a regional level. The champions of the regional divisions played the South German champions in a final round, whereby the final round mode - accompanied by the frequent reforms of the divisions - had to be changed several times.
In August 1933, the South German Football Association dissolved, until 1945 no South German football champions were determined. After the Second World War , the championship was played from the 1945/46 season in the football Oberliga Süd .

1908 to 1919
For the 1907/08 season, ten years after the association was founded, a semi-uniform league structure was created for the entire association area. From 1910/11, the top leagues in all four districts were single-track.
1920 to 1923
Due to the difficult situation after the end of the war, the game was initially started in ten top leagues (mostly called "district league").
1924 to 1927
In order to tighten the league structure again, "district leagues" were introduced as the new highest level above the district leagues for the 1923/24 season and their number was set at five, which halved the number of "first-class" teams and raised the level of football accordingly.

1928 to 1933
For the 1927/28 season, the districts were reduced from five to four (Main / Hessen, Rhein / Saar, Württemberg / Baden and Bavaria), but by dividing each district into two “groups”, the actual number of the top divisions rose again to eight Seasons on.
