The Gauliga Mitte was the highest football league in the Prussian province of Saxony and the German states of Thuringia and Anhalt from 1933 to 1945, all located in the center (German:Mitte) of Germany.
Shortly after the formation of the league, the Nazis reorganised the administrative regions in Germany, and the Gaue Thuringia, Magdeburg-Anhalt and Halle-Merseburg replaced the states and Prussian province.
It replaced the Bezirksligas and Oberligas as the highest level of play in German football competitions.
The league operated on the same modus until the outbreak of World War II in 1939.
With the end of the Nazi era, the Gauligas ceased to exist and the region found itself in the Soviet occupation zone.
