The BSG and the DDR-Oberliga
First promotion to the DDR-Oberliga
A 1–1 draw against Vorwärts Stralsund secures Energie their first promotion to the DDR-Oberliga.
After losing 7–0 at Riesa a week earlier, a draw against their remaining challenger is enough.
A third promotion to the Oberliga
A 1–0 win over Chemie Buna Schkopau clinches Energie’s third promotion to the Oberliga.
Ten points in the promotion round are sufficient before their final match because Union Berlin have completed their fixtures on eight.
