All-time DDR-Oberliga table

Add article description

The all-time DDR-Oberliga table is a cumulative record of all match results, points, and goals of every team that played in the former East Germany's first division DDR-Oberliga[1] from its inception in 1949 until its dissolution in 1991 following German reunification. It awards two points for a win and one point for a draw, as this was the system in use at the time. The matches of the transition round made necessary by the adoption of a Soviet-style calendar year schedule in 1955[2] are not included. In its final season (1990–91), the competition was known as the NOFV-Oberliga, before becoming part of the German Football Association (German: Deutscher Fußball-Bund, DFB).

Although Berliner FC Dynamo are record champions, winning a total of 10 titles, FC Carl Zeiss Jena lead the ranking by points. Wismut Aue, however, hold the record for most seasons, 38. Altogether, 44 clubs competed in the DDR-Oberliga during its history.

Frequent club name changes were a characteristic of East German football and clubs are shown here by the name they last competed under in their final DDR-Oberliga seasons. All other names used by a club when they were part of the DDR-Oberliga are given, but name changes made outside first division play and following German reunification are not shown; see articles on individual clubs for more information.

    For the sake of clarity, a number of teams that could not be distinctly be seen as predecessors were nevertheless summed up under the Leipzig clubs Lokomotive Leipzig and BSG Chemie Leipzig.
    During a reform in Leipzig football the two clubs BSG Chemie Leipzig and BSG Einheit Ost were dissolved prior to the 1954–55 season and its members moved to the newly created clubs SC Lokomotive Leipzig and SC Rotation Leipzig. Even though the new clubs were granted the use of the grounds of the old clubs, neither is a direct successor.
    In another reform, SC Lokomotive and SC Rotation were again dissolved before the 1963–64 season and their memberships transferred to the new clubs BSG Chemie Leipzig and SC Leipzig. The latter would go on to form 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig. As in 1954, neither of the clubs are direct successors. 1. FC Lok was renamed VfB Leipzig in 1991 and folded in 2004. A new 1. FC Lok was founded as a successor in 2003.

    A new BSG Wismut was founded as a traditional successor in 2019.
