See main article: 1944–45 Gauliga. The 1944–45 Gauliga Donau-Alpenland was the seventh and final season of the Gauliga Donau-Alpenland, formerly the Gauliga Ostmark, the first tier of football in German-annexed Austria from 1938 to 1945.[1]
The 1944–45 edition was not completed and stopped after nine rounds. Nazi Germany surrendered on 8 May 1945 and, in the following season, an independent Austrian football championship was held again.[2]
The 1944–45 season saw two new clubs in the league, SC Rapid Oberlaa and SK Admira Wien. As the league was being expanded for next season from 10 to 12 clubs, no relegation took place.
