The Amateurliga Rheinland was the highest football league in the region of the Rheinland FA and the third tier of the German football league system from its inception in 1952 to the formation of the Oberliga Südwest and the Verbandsliga Rheinland below it in 1978. == Overview == The Amateurliga Rheinland was formed in 1952 in the northern half of the state of Rheinland-Pfalz. Before its interception, three separate leagues operated in the area as the highest level of play. The league was a feeder league to the 2nd Oberliga Südwest. From 1952 until the establishment of the Oberliga Südwest in 1978, it was the third tier of the football league system. The winner of the Amateurliga Rheinland was not automatically promoted to its superior league but rather had to take part in a promotion play-off. The champion would have to compete with the winners of the Amateurligas Saarland and Südwest. Until 1933, the region covered by the Rheinland FA was politically part of the now dissolved German state of Prussia. It was part of the Prussian Rhine Province. The league was established in 1952 with sixteen teams, the winner gaining promotion to the 2nd Oberliga Südwest. The founder members were: *SpVgg Bendorf *FC Urbar *VfL Trier *SpVgg Neuwied *SC Wirges *SV Niederlahnstein *SV Ehrang *Germania Mudersbach *TuS Konz *SSV Heimbach-Weis *SpVgg Zewen *VfB Lützel *SV Remagen *TuS Mayen *SV Trier-West *SG Betzdorf In 1956 the league was split into a western and an eastern group with twelve teams each. In 1963 it reverted to its old single group setup. With the introduction of the Bundesliga in 1963 the Amateurliga was placed below the new Regionalliga Südwest but still retained its third-tier status. It continued to do so after the introduction of the 2nd Bundesliga Süd in 1974. The SC Bad Neuenahr and SC Sinzig hold the record for years in the league, each with 22 out of a possible 26. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Amateurliga Rheinland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
