Football league season
The 1938–39 Gauliga Ostmark was the inaugural season of the Gauliga Ostmark and organized by the National Socialist League of the Reich for Physical Exercise (German : Nationalsozialistischer Reichsbund für Leibesübungen ), the organizing body for sports in Nazi Germany . In March 1938, Nazi Germany annexed Austria in what is commonly referred to as the Anschluss , with the Gauliga Ostmark formed as a consequence. Austria and the Austrian football championship thereby ceased to exist until the end of the Second World War .[1]
SK Admira Wien won the championship and qualified for the 1939 German football championship where it lost 9–0 in the final to FC Schalke 04 .[2]
The Gauliga Ostmark and Gauliga Donau-Alpenland titles from 1938 to 1944, excluding the 1944–45 season which was not completed, are recognised as official Austrian football championships by the Austrian Bundesliga .[4]
