All-Time DDR-Oberliga Table
Encyclopedia
The all-time DDR-Oberliga table is a cumulative record of all match results, points, and goals of every team that played the former East Germany's first division DDR-Oberliga
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 loss, 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 are not included. In its final season, the competition was known as NOFV-Oberliga.
Although BFC Dynamo are record champions, winning a total of 10 titles, FC Carl Zeiss Jena
lead the ranking. Altogether, 44 clubs competed in the DDR-Oberliga during its history.
The clubs are designated by the name they competed in their respective last season in the DDR-Oberliga. In addition, all other names the club competed under in the Oberliga are mentioned. Name changes below the Oberliga and after German reunification
are not shown.
