Gauliga Pommern - Aftermath

Aftermath

With the end of the Nazi era, the Gauligas ceased to exist and the province of Pommern found itself in the Soviet occupation zone.

While Western Pomerania became part of the new East Germany, the city of Stettin (now Szczecin) and all of the province east of the river Oder were handed to Poland as a compensation for its eastern territories, lost to the Soviet Union. The German population in the region however, was almost completely expelled.

In the part remaining with Germany, the DDR-Oberliga was formed as the highest level of play, while the Polish areas became part of the Polish football league system. All German clubs in this region were dissolved after the war.
