The 1908/09 South German soccer championship of the Association of South German Soccer Clubs was won by Karlsruhe FC Phönix in the final tournament with two points ahead of 1. FC Nürnberg . This was the first win in the southern German soccer championship for the Karlsruhe team, who qualified for the German soccer championship in 1908/09 . The blue-blacks moved into the final of the German championship with clear victories over FC Munich-Gladbach and SC Erfurt , where they were defending champion Viktoria 89 Berlin defeated 4-2 and won the German football championship.

Mode and overview

The competition mode remained unchanged compared to the previous season, teams competed against each other in four regional districts, the four district champions then played out the southern German football champions in a final round. The season division in the four districts had been tightened again compared to the previous season. In the south, instead of the three Gauligen from the previous year, there was a single-track top division for the first time, and the northern district was reduced from three to two seasons. The clubs from the Mannheim area no longer played in the north, but in the south, but finally moved to the west the following year.

North circle

The A-class of the northern district was reduced from four to two seasons this season, and a single-track northern district league should follow next year. In District I, the FSV Frankfurt , which had had its own sports field on Seckbacher Landstrasse since May 1908, sovereignly prevailed, only the Frankfurter Kickers were able to wrest a point from the FSV with a 3: 3. In the following two play-off games, however, last year's champion Hanauer 93 , who was able to prevail in Season II, decided the northern district championship for himself, and thus moved into the southern German finals.

East circle

In the Middle Franconia relay, the gap between the two leading and the other three teams, the SpVgg, was striking . Fürth beat Concordia Nürnberg with 20-0. There was also a lot of goals in the direct duel between 1. FC Nürnberg and the game association: The first duel ended with 5:10 goals, but had to be repeated "because of the referee's ineptitude" at the protest of the Fürth team. The FC won the second leg of the derby 6-1. Since both teams did not lose any further points in the course of the round, the replay on Vacher Strasse had to decide on the relay championship. 2000 spectators saw a hard-fought game, the 3: 3 was enough for the Nuremberg championship in the end.

Since the representative of the Donau-Staffel, MTV Augsburg , did not participate in the final round, the FCN only met the Munich representative MTV 1879 in the final round and prevailed with a 5: 1 in the playoff.

The representative of the Danube relay, MTV Augsburg, decided not to take part in the finals, so only the final was played. Since both Nuremberg and Munich could each decide one game for themselves and adding up the results was not planned, there was a decisive game, which the Nuremberg team won.

Southern district

The Karlsruhe FC Phönix was able to secure the southern district championship for the first time this year. In the previous years, Phönix had worked its way forward primarily through its good youth work - the team around "veteran" and captain Arthur Beier had grown into the later national players Robert Neumaier , Karl Wegele and Emil Oberle - and finally crowned the season the German championship title. The defending champion Stuttgarter Kickers finished second, one point behind, and "old master" Karlsruher FV, who had Fritz Förderer a current and Ernst Hollstein and a later national player in his ranks, fell back to fourth after a good start during the round.

Western district

As in the previous year, the western district only comprised the Palatinate clubs, or rather, it was again a broad comparison of cities: four teams from Ludwigshafen and three from Kaiserslautern competed against each other in the A-class. At the end of the round, FC 1900 Kaiserslautern was tied with defending champion FC Pfalz Ludwigshafen . In a playoff, the Lautrer finally prevailed, thus becoming western district champions for the first time and moving into the southern German finals.

The FC 1900 Kaiserslautern
was the first time western district champions.

Final round of the southern German championship

South district champion Phoenix Karlsruhe was able to prevail despite a 1: 2 home defeat against their sharpest rival 1. FC Nürnberg and thus secured the first South German title. In addition to the second leg in Nuremberg, the Franks also lost to the north representative Hanau 93 and had to be content with the runner-up. Western district champion FV Kaiserslautern, like its predecessor FC Pfalz 03, had no chance and even lost double-digit numbers at FC Phönix.
