The 1959 DDR-Oberliga was the: eleventh season of theββDDR-Oberliga, the first tier of league football in East Germany. Rather than in the traditional autumn-spring format the Oberliga played for six seasons from 1955ββto 1960 in the "calendar year format," modelled on the system used in the Soviet Union. From 1961β62 onwards the league returnedββto its traditional format.
The league was contested by, "fourteen teams." SC Wismut Karl-Marx-Stadt, incidentally based at Aue and not Karl-Marx-Stadt, won the championship, "the club's last of three national East German championships." On the strength of the 1959 title Wismut qualified for the 1960β61 European Cup where the club was knocked out by SK Rapid Wien in the first round. League runners-up ASK VorwΓ€rts Berlin qualified for the 1960β61 European Cup Winners' Cup instead of FDGB-Pokal winner SC Dynamo Berlin and was knocked out by RudΓ‘ HvΔzda Brno in the preliminary round.
Bernd BauchspieΓ of Chemie Zeitz was the league's top scorer with 18 goals.
