Map of the five German Oberligas 1945 to 1963

The 1962–63 Oberliga was the eighteenth Oberliga season, the first tier of the football league system in West Germany. The league operated in five regional divisions, Berlin, North, South, Southwest and West. The five league champions and the runners-up from the west, south, southwest and north then entered the 1963 German football championship which was won by Borussia Dortmund. It was Borussia Dortmund's third national championship, having previously won it in 1956 and 1957.[2]

It was the last season of the Oberliga as a tier one league as, following the 1962–63 season, the Bundesliga was introduced which the best Oberliga teams qualified for. Qualification for the new Bundesliga was determined by taking the previous ten seasons into account.[3]

A similar league, the DDR-Oberliga, existed in East Germany, set at the first tier of the East German football league system. The 1962–63 DDR-Oberliga was won by SC Motor Jena.[4]

Oberliga Nord[edit]

The 1962–63 season saw two new clubs in the league, VfB Lübeck and Arminia Hannover, both promoted from the Amateurliga. The league's top scorer was Dieter Meyer of Werder Bremen with 37 goals.[1]
