The 1938
The 1938 edition was only the second, after 1922, when a replay of the final was required.
Hamburger SV's Gustav Carstens was the 1938 championships top scorer, with nine goals.[7]
The sixteen 1937–38 Gauliga champions competed in a group stage of four groups of four teams each, with the group winners advancing to the semi-finals. The two semi-final winners then contested the 1938 championship final.[8]
From the following season, the German championship expanded to eighteen clubs and continued to increase in numbers through a combination of territorial expansion of Nazi Germany and the sub-dividing of the Gauligas. In later years, the number of Gauligas reached a strength of thirty one in its last completed season, 1943–44.[9]
Qualified teams
The teams qualified through the 1937–38 Gauliga season:[8]
- SV Beuel 06 was retrospectively awarded the championship in the Gauliga Mittelrhein but this decision was made too late to replace Alemannia Aachen in the German championship.
