The 1923 German football championship, the 16th edition of the competition, was won by Hamburger SV, defeating Union Oberschöneweide 3–0 in the final.

FC Nürnberg, followed by another championship in 1928, won against another club from Berlin, Hertha BSC.

Union Oberschöneweide made its sole championship final appearance in 1923 and would eventually evolve into what is now 1.

[2][3] Hamburg's Tull Harder was the top scorer of the 1923 championship with five goals, having previously done so in 1922 and, again, in 1926 and 1928.

[4] Seven clubs qualified for the knock-out competition, nominally the champions of each of the seven regional football championships.
