1955 DDR-Oberliga

The 1955 season was the seventh edition of the DDR Oberliga. It was a transitional round as the championship matched from 1956 on the Soviet model of the calendar year, and therefore the time between the end of the season in 1954/55 in the summer of 1955 and the beginning of season 1956 should be bridged in the spring. There only 13 game days were held, in which neither an official nor relegated master were determined. The transitional round was won by bismuth SC Karl -Marx-Stadt. It began on 28 August 1955, and ended on 4 December 1955.

Name change

The rising stars of the preseason BSG Fortschritt Weissenfels was connected to a sports club and renamed it SC progress Weissenfels. After the end of the transitional round and just before the start of the following season, BSG Chemie, Karl -Marx-Stadt was dissolved and connected to the SC Motor Karl- Marx-Stadt.

Course of the season

The first dominant SC Dynamo Berlin handed over the championship lead on the ninth matchday bismuth Karl- Marx-Stadt and was then still displaced by SC Empor Rostock from second place. Bismuth no longer gave the standings after her, even if the decision for the championship of the transitional round fell on the last match day. Thus began an era of dominance that lasted until the late 1950s and bismuth brought three championships for the Cup winner and runner-up the previous season. The master of the two Vorsaisons Turbine Erfurt, however, counted no longer among the top teams and was only eighth.
