In the course of the Gleichschaltung , the VMBV and, consequently, the Gauliga Osterland were dissolved a few months after the Nazis came to power in 1933. The clubs were classified in the football district Mitte, but were not given a starting place for the first-class Gauliga Mitte, which was introduced from 1933 . Wacker Gera was sorted into the second-class district class Thuringia . While local rivals SpVgg in 1904 Gera merged with SC Concordia Gera-Reuss to form 1. SV Gera 04 and made it to the Gauliga at the end of the 1930s, Wacker Gera remained in the second division and was relegated to the Osterland district in 1938/39 . In 1945 the association was dissolved.
