The all-time DDR-Oberliga table is a cumulative record of all match results, points, and goals of every team that played in the former East Germany's first division DDR-Oberliga[1] from its inception in 1949 until its dissolution in 1991 following German reunification.
The matches of the transition round made necessary by the adoption of a Soviet-style calendar year schedule in 1955[2] are not included.
Although Berliner FC Dynamo are record champions, winning a total of 10 titles, FC Carl Zeiss Jena lead the ranking by points.
Frequent club name changes were a characteristic of East German football and clubs are shown here by the name they last competed under in their final DDR-Oberliga seasons.
All other names used by a club when they were part of the DDR-Oberliga are given, but name changes made outside first division play and following German reunification are not shown; see articles on individual clubs for more information.
