Special regulations for national championships
Germany
In Germany there are two different classifications according to which stars are awarded master. A scheme was introduced by the German Football League for the 2004/05 season and is binding only for those clubs that are currently in the national leagues. A second scheme was introduced by the German Football Association for 2005/06 season. The DFB control is, however, rejected by the DFL and therefore applies only to clubs outside the direct sphere of influence of the DFL, so this means that clubs who are currently in the 3rd league or underlying leagues.
Under the DFL control only championships that have been won in the Bundesliga fall (that title in the Federal Republic of Germany since 1964). Since the German Bundesliga has several clubs with a comparatively small number of championships in its history, in addition to a dominant team (Bayern Munich ), the DFL chose an unusual distribution:
- From three championships: a star
- From five championships: two stars
- From ten championships: three stars
- From twenty championships: four stars
The fact that this system is applied only to league championships, led to a broad critique of clubs, the DDR - Oberliga championships and have won championships before the introduction of the Bundesliga. Criticized the regulation primarily by the BFC Dynamo (ten titles in the DDR - Oberliga ), but also from other teams. So the decision was on 18 March 2005 on the DFB board meeting, subject to the approval of the DFL in focus that also all German masters before 1963 and all GDR masters should be given the opportunity to star in accordance with the above rating on their jerseys to lead.
However, the DFL refused that request. Although it was also a corresponding recommendation to the German Football Association on, this was not followed by the DFB. For teams of lower divisions as the 2nd Bundesliga, the DFB has adopted a new regulation for before 1963 or in the GDR -won championships on July 19, 2005: According clubs with at least one such title may wear a single star above the club emblem, the option in its center, the number of won championship titles can carry (before 1963/64, or DDR title ). This rule applies only to clubs outside the 1st and 2nd Bundesliga.
Since 2009, the jerseys of Rot-Weiß Erfurt and 1.FC Magdeburg may also wear a star. This DFB decided based on the findings of the clubs GDR championships. Erfurt won in 1954 and 1955, the East German championship and Magdeburg won in 1972, 1974 and 1975 the East German titles.
