The Landesliga Bayern-Süd (English: State League Bavaria-South) was the sixth tier of the German football league system in southern Bavaria. Until the introduction of the 3. Liga (Third League) in 2008, it was the fifth tier of the league system, until the introduction of the Regionalligas in 1994 the fourth tier.

The winner of the Landesliga Süd was automatically qualified for the Bayernliga, while the runners-up needed to compete with the runners-up of Landesliga Bayern-Mitte and Landesliga Bayern-Nord and the 15th-placed team of the Bayernliga for another promotion spot.

The league was disbanded in 2012, when the Regionalliga Bayern was introduced as the new fourth tier of the German league system in Bavaria. Below this league, the Bayernliga was expanded to two divisions while the number of state leagues grew from three to five divisions. However, none of the new leagues carried the name Landesliga Bayern-Süd, with the Landesliga Bayern-Südwest coming closest in territorial coverage.[1]

Overview

The Landesligas from 1963 to 2012.

The Landesligen in Bavaria were formed in 1963, in place of the 2nd Amateurligas, which operated below the Bayernliga until then. In the region of the Landesliga Süd, the 2nd Amateurligas were split into three groups, Schwaben, Oberbayern A and Oberbayern B. The league was formed from sixteen clubs, six of them from the Amateurliga Südbayern (III) and ten from the 2nd Amateurligas.[2]

In the first eighteen seasons, up until 1980, only the league champions were promoted to the Bayernliga. This was altered in 1981, when the three Landesliga runners-up were given the opportunity to earn promotion, too, via a promotion round.[3] The Bavarian football association actually stipulates in its rules and regulations that every league champion has to be promoted, unless it declines to do so, and every runners-up has to have the opportunity to earn promotion, too.

Below the league, the Bezirksligas were set as the fifth tier of league football, until 1988, when the Bezirksoberligas were formed. In the early years, three teams were promoted from the Bezirksligas, two from Oberbayern and one from Schwaben; from 1966, it was four clubs, two from each region. The Landesliga Süd is now fed by the two Bezirksoberligen of Schwaben and Oberbayern.

In the early years, the league operated with a strength of sixteen clubs, occasionally dropping to fifteen. From 1968, it was enlarged to eighteen.[4] In 1981, TSV Schwaben Augsburg became the first club to be promoted from the Landesligas as a runners-up.[3] Alongside, the number of clubs promoted to the league was increased to five. The league strength now became more fluctuating due to the unpredictability of promotion-relegation play-offs, and it moved between sixteen and nineteen clubs.

With the introduction of the Bezirksoberligas below it in 1988, the winner of those were automatically promoted, while the runners-up played-off for another promotion spot. The loser of this game then faced the 15th placed team of Landesliga to determine the winner of the last available spot in the Landesliga.

Clubs from the border region to Baden-Württemberg traditionally chose to play in the Baden-Württemberg Football League System rather than in the Bavarian Football League System. These so-called "Iller Vereine", after the river Iller who forms the boundary between the two states in this area, left the Schwaben FA in 1946. Notable clubs are the SpVgg Lindau, FV Illertissen and SpVgg Au/Iller. The later played in the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg on a number of occasions.

In the 1993–94 and 2007–08 season, two direct promotion spots to the Bayernliga were available, while the third placed team qualified for the promotion round. The MTV Ingolstadt and TSV Rain am Lech qualified through this process as the third team. The reason for this was changes in the German league system, the introduction of the Regionalliga in 1994 and the 3. Liga in 2008.

Disbanding

The Bavarian football federation carried out drastic changes to the league system at the end of the 2011–12 season. With the already decided introduction of the Regionalliga Bayern from 2012–13, it also placed two Bayernligas below the new league as the new fifth tier of the German league system. Below those, five Landesligas instead of the existing three were set, which would be geographically divided to limit travel and increase the number of local derbies.[5]

The clubs from the Landesliga Bayern-Süd joined the following leagues:[1]

  • Champions and runners-up: Promotion round to the Regionalliga, winners to the Regionalliga, losers to the Bayernliga.
  • Teams placed 3rd to 8th: Directly qualified to the Bayernliga.
  • Teams placed 9th to 15th: Promotion round to the Bayernliga, winners to the Bayernliga, losers to the Landesliga.
  • Teams placed 16th or worse: Directly qualified to the Landesliga.

Founding members

When the league was formed in 1963 as the new fourth tier of the Bavarian league system in Upper Bavaria and Swabia, in place of the 2nd Amateurligas, it consisted of the following sixteen clubs from the following leagues:[2]

The clubs in the Amateurliga Südbayern placed seventh or better were admitted to the new Amateurliga Bayern, all others went to the new Landesligas. Schwaben had originally only four qualifying spots for its 2nd Amateurliga while Oberbayern had six, this was altered to a five each ratio. The top teams in each league were qualified. The two third placed teams in the two Oberbayern leagues had to play a decider, which Sportfreunde Pasing won 3–0 over FC Traunstein.
