Overview
The league was formed in 1978 as the highest level of play in the state. Previous to that, the four Amateurligas Nordwürttemberg, Schwarzwald-Bodensee, Südbaden and Nordbaden formed the tier right below the 2nd Bundesliga. The Amateurligas changed their name since into Verbandsliga. The Amateurligas Nordwürttemberg and Schwarzwald-Bodensee merged to form the Verbandsliga Württemberg. The three Verbandsliga's now feed the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg.
Since introduction of the Regionalliga Süd in 1994, the winner of the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg is automatically promoted to this league, till 1994 the winners of the Oberligas had to play-off for the four promotion spots to the 2nd Bundesliga with the other Oberliga winners.
In 1994, with the introduction of the Regionalliga, five clubs from Baden-Württemberg were qualified for the new league, based on their performance over the last three seasons, these clubs being:
- SSV Ulm 1846
- SSV Reutlingen
- VfR Mannheim
- TSF Ditzingen
- SpVgg Ludwigsburg
Originally, a sixth place for the Oberliga was available but because the Stuttgarter Kickers, a club from Württemberg, was relegated from the 2nd Bundesliga that year, the club took up this spot.
The Oberliga Baden-Württemberg still remained below the Regionalliga Süd after the reduction of the number of Regionalligas from four to two in 2000 but this reduction meant that the Oberliga champions in that year were not promoted.
With the changes in the league system in 2008, there was four clubs from the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg promoted to Regionalliga Süd after the 2007-08 season, nominally the top four teams, however, there was also financial requirements to receive a Regionalliga license. The four clubs were:
- SC Freiburg II
- SSV Ulm 1846
- Waldhof Mannheim
- 1. FC Heidenheim 1846
The winners of the three Verbandsligas gain automatic promotion to the Oberliga. The runners-up of Nordbaden then plays the runners-up of Südbaden in a home-and-away series. The winner of this games faces the runners-up of Württemberg for the final Oberliga spot.
Feeder Leagues to the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg
In the past two clubs which played in the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg weren't actually based in the state. Amicitia Viernheim (Hessen) and SpVgg Au/Iller (Bayern) both were in the Oberliga for a number of years.
The separation of Nordbaden and Südbaden is not traditional. It results from the end of World War II when Nordbaden was in the American occupation zone and Südbaden in the French. Inter zone travel was difficult then and two separate leagues developed. Until 1950 the clubs from the Südbaden and the Schwarzwald-Bodensee regions actually played in the southwest league system, the old (1945–1963) Oberliga Südwest, only after that were they integrated into the southern league system, where they geographically belonged.
From 2012 onwards, the league will become a feeder league to the new Regionalliga Süd/Südwest, together with the Hessenliga and the Oberliga Südwest. The previous league the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg was set below at, the Regionalliga Süd, will be disbanded after the 2011-12 season.[1]
