These 64 teams were the 21 remaining teams from the qualifying rounds, 26 teams from the second-tier DDR-Liga and 17 teams from the 1952–53 DDR-Oberliga. The matches for the second round were drawn, but not played due to the events around the uprising of 1953 in East Germany, even though officially the summer holidays were given as the reason for an indefinite postponement.https://www.rsssf.org/tablesd/ddr53.html East Germany 1952/53 RSSSF RSSSF Alexander Mastrogiannopoulos 2005-10-16 2010-01-31 live https://web.archive.org/web/20090601005642/http://www.rsssf.com/tablesd/ddr53.html 2009-06-01 https://www.rsssf.org/tablesd/ddr54.html East Germany 1953/54 RSSSF RSSSF Alexander Mastrogiannopoulos 2005-10-16 2010-01-31 live https://web.archive.org/web/20090604173318/http://rsssf.com/tablesd/ddr54.html 2009-06-04 In the spring of 1954, the Second Round teams were drawn again, and the competition resumed with the matches on 25 April 1954.July 2020 By the Third Round, 13 of the Oberliga teams had been eliminated, but two Bezirksliga sides were still in the competition: BSG Chemie Apolda and Aktivist Welzow.
