The Southern German football championship (German: ''Süddeutsche Meisterschaft'') was the highest association football competition in the South of Germany, established in 1898. The competition was disbanded in 1933 with the rise of the Nazis to power. While no senior Southern German championship exists nowadays, the under 15 juniors still play an annual competition for the title, often involving the junior teams of clubs who had once been involved in the senior edition. ==Overview== German football was, from its beginnings, divided into regional associations which carried out their own championship, which often pre-dated the national German championship. With the interception of the later in 1903, the former became qualifying tournaments for it but these regional championships still held a high value for the local clubs. These regional championships were:〔''kicker Almanach 1990'' Yearbook of German football 1990, publisher: kicker, published: 1989, page: 241-42, accessed: 17 April 2009〕 * Southern German football championship - ''formed in 1898'' * Brandenburg football championship - ''formed in 1898'' * Central German football championship - ''formed in 1902'' * Western German football championship - ''formed in 1903'' * March football championship - ''existed from 1903 to 1911'' * Northern German football championship - ''formed in 1906'' * South Eastern German football championship - ''formed in 1906'' * Baltic football championship - ''formed in 1908'' All this regional championships were suspended with the rise of the Nazis to power in 1933. At the end of the Second World War, some resumed, now in league format. Others completely disappeared, like the Baltic championship, as the territories they were held in were not part of Germany any more. With the South West German football championship, a new regional competition also appeared in 1945. Ultimately, with the formation of the Fußball-Bundesliga, all this regional championships ceased altogether. 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「Southern German football championship」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
