The five regional Oberliga winners, along with VfR Mannheim and Wormatia Worms, automatically qualified for the quarter finals, while the remaining three teams played qualifying rounds to clinch the eighth place. The 1949 championship was the first to see a new trophy for the champions awarded. The pre-Second World War trophy, the Viktoria, had disappeared during the final stages of the war and would not resurface until after the German reunification. The new trophy, the Meisterschale, was not ready for the 1948 season but was finished in time to be awarded to the 1949 champions.Die "Viktoria" de DFB website – The "Viktoria", accessed: 30 December 2015Meisterschale de DFB website, accessed: 30 December 2015 Qualified teams The clubs qualified through the 1948–49 Oberliga season: Club Qualified from Hamburger SV Oberliga Nord champions FC St. Pauli Oberliga Nord runners-up Borussia Dortmund Oberliga West champions Rot-Weiss Essen Oberliga West runners-up Berliner SV 92 Oberliga Berlin champions 1.
