The football league system of the German Democratic Republic (shortened:''GDR'', German:''Deutsche Demokratische Republik'' or ''DDR'') existed from the creation of the DDR-Oberliga in 1949 until shortly after German reunification in 1990. == The German Democratic Republic football league system == From 1949 until 1991 East Germany had its own football league system. It had its own nationwide league called Oberliga which existed throughout the whole GDR history. Since 1954 the ''DDR-Oberliga'' consisted of 14 teams; the two worst-placed teams were relegated to the Liga, which was introduced in 1950. Following the dissolution of the five federal states the five old ''Landesliga'' divisions were replaced by 15 new ''Bezirksliga'' divisions as the third level of the league system. By 1955 however, there was another change in the league system as the ''2nd DDR-Liga'' was created as a level between the ''DDR-Liga'' and the ''Bezirksligen''. In 1962, the ''DDR-Liga'' was once more divided into two divisions and the ''2nd DDR-Liga'' was abandoned.In 1971 the ''DDR-Liga'' was divided into five Divisions, and for that reason was now similar to the ''Landesliga'' of the 1940s. The five division champions played a qualification round to determine which clubs would promote to the ''Oberliga''. Since 1984 the ''Liga'' consisted of two divisions again, whose champions were directly promoted to the ''Oberliga''. Below the two ''DDR-Liga'' divisions were the fifteen ''Bezirksligen'' whose champions had to play a promotional round to determine the six clubs that would move up to the ''2nd Division''. Below the ''Bezirksliga'' there were (descending) ''Bezirksklasse'', ''Kreisliga'' and, at the lowest level, several ''Kreisklasse'' divisions, as they actually are today. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「East German football league system」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
