The Regionalliga Süd ({{langx|en|Regional League South}}) was the fourth tier of the German football league system from 2008 to 2012. Until the introduction of the 3. Liga in 2008, it was the third tier. It was the highest regional league for the southern part of Germany. It covered the states of Bavaria, Hesse and Baden-Württemberg and was one of three leagues at this level, together with the Regionalliga Nord and the Regionalliga West.
The league was disbanded at the end of the 2011–12 season, with the Bavarian clubs joining the new Regionalliga Bayern while the others joined the clubs from the southwest of Germany to form the new Regionalliga Südwest.[https://www.dfb.de/index.php?id=500014&tx_dfbnews_pi1[showUid]=25239&tx_dfbnews_pi1[sword]=Regionalligareform&tx_dfbnews_pi4[cat]=212 DFB-Bundestag beschließt Reform der Spielklassen] {{in lang|de}} DFB website, published: 22 October 2010, retrieved 16 July 2011
From 1963 to 1974, a Regionalliga Süd existed as the second tier of the German football league system, but this league is not directly related to the current one.
Overview
Image:Deutschland Lage von Süddeutschland.png
The Regionalliga Süd was introduced in 1994 along with three other Regionalligas, those being:
The reason for its introduction was to create a highest regional league for the south of Germany and to allow its champions, and some years the runners-up too, to be directly promoted to the 2. Bundesliga. Previous to the introduction of the four Regionalligas, below the second division were ten Oberligas. Those ten Oberliga champions had to go through a promotion play-off rather than being directly promoted.
The Regionalliga Süd originally was made up from clubs from the three southern states of Bavaria, Hesse and Baden-Württemberg. In 2000, with the reduction of the number of Regionalligas to two, the league also covered the states of Rhineland-Palatinate, Saarland and Thuringia. It also incorporated one club from Northrhine-Westphalia, the Sportfreunde Siegen.
From 2008, with re-expansion to three Regionalligas, the league again only contained clubs from the three original states. However, in 2010–11, the Wormatia Worms, a club from Rhineland-Palatinate, competed in the league.
League history
= Foundation of the Regionalliga Süd =
The Regionalliga Süd was formed in 1994 with 18 clubs, originally with six from each of the three Oberligas. However, Baden-Württemberg lost one spot due to the Stuttgarter Kickers being relegated from the 2. Bundesliga.
The founding members were:

The "new" Regionalliga Süd was actually a reformation of the "old" Regionalliga Süd which operated from 1963 to 1974 in the same region but then as the second tier of German football. Unlike the "old" Regionalliga, the new one allowed reserve teams to compete in it.
Its first season saw the SpVgg Unterhaching winning the league and being promoted to the 2. Bundesliga while three out of the four teams relegated came from Hessen.

After six seasons, in 2000, the number of Regionalligas was reduced from four to two. Only the Regionalligas Süd and Nord survived. The clubs of the other two were spread according to their geographical location.
To make room for these extra clubs without expanding past the 18 team number, the seven bottom placed teams were supposed to be relegated. However, FC Augsburg (8th) did not receive a license for the next season and Karlsruher SC II (12th) had to drop down because the first team was relegated to the Regionalliga and regulations forbid two teams from the same club to compete in the same league at this level.

Image:Deutschland Lage von Süddeutschland.png
With the introduction of the 3. Liga in 2008 and of a third Regionalliga, the Regionalliga West, the league became the fourth tier of German football.{{cite web|url=https://www.dfb.de/index.php?id=3092|title=Official DFB article on the 3rd Bundesliga and Regionalliga|access-date=5 March 2008|publisher= DFB|language=de}} The clubs from the regions which joined in 2000 left again and the Regionalliga Süd was once more only made up from clubs from Bavaria, Hesse and Baden-Württemberg.
The make up of the leagues was:
- Winner and runners-up of the Regionalliga Süd will qualified for the 2. Bundesliga (unless they are reserve teams)
- Clubs placed third to tenth went to the new 3. Liga (only the two best placed reserve teams were to be admitted)
- Clubs placed eleventh to eighteens remained in the Regionalligas (only clubs from the three southern states went to the southern group)
- The four best teams out of the Oberligas Baden-Württemberg, Hessen and Bayern were promoted to the Regionalliga Süd
When the 2007–08 season finished on 31 May 2008, the following teams had fulfilled the on-the-field qualification for the Regionalliga. However, financial qualification was also necessary.{{cite web|url=http://www.weltfussball.de/spielplan.php?Thema=133&Liga=5|title=Tables and results of the Regionalligas and Oberligas|access-date=1 June 2008|publisher= Weltfussball.de|language=de}}

Sportfreunde Siegen were intended to be the 18th club in the Regionalliga Süd, but due to its insolvency, the club was demoted to the Oberliga Nordrhein-Westfalen or below for the 2008–09 season. 1. FC Eintracht Bamberg was admitted to the Regionalliga in their stead, as the fifth-placed team in the largest of the southern football associations.[https://www.kicker.de/sportfreunde-planen-fuer-die-5-liga-379458/artikel Sportfreunde planen für die 5. Liga] {{in lang|de}} kicker.de, accessed: 8 June 2008 Due to the refusal of a licence to Bayernliga champion SpVgg Bayreuth, Bamberg was awarded a place in the Regionalliga. The available last place then went to the SpVgg Unterhaching II.[http://www.spvgg-bayreuth.de/index.php?ac=shownews&thisnews=2416 Keine Lizenz für die SpVgg] {{in lang|de}} SpVgg Bayreuth website, retrieved 13 June 2008[http://www.weltfussball.de/presseschau/oberliga-bayern/aufstieg-regionalliga-sued/ Aufstieg Regionalliga Süd] {{in lang|de}} Weltfussball.de, retrieved 13 June 2008

After a 2008–09 season with a large number of new clubs, the league returned to a normal promotion/relegation system, with the winner moving up to the 3. Liga and the three last-placed teams being relegated to the Oberliga, while the three southern Oberliga champions were promoted in turn. In 2008–09, two clubs from the 3. Liga were relegated to the league. This would have increased the number of teams to 19. However, Waldhof Mannheim was transferred to the Regionalliga West for the next season. Hessen Kassel, who had hoped to join the Regionalliga Nord for 2009–10 had to remain in the south.[https://www.kicker.de/der-svw-spielt-im-westen-510190/artikel Der SVW spielt im Westen] {{in lang|de}} kicker, published: , accessed: 5 July 2009 Viktoria Aschaffenburg, which finished on a non-relegation rank, withdrew from the league, allowing Karlsruher SC II to remain in it.
In the 2009–10 season, 1. FC Eintracht Bamberg and SSV Reutlingen both declared insolvency, forcing them to be automatically relegated.[http://www.weltfussball.de/spielplan/regionalliga-sued-2009-2010-spieltag/34/ Regionalliga Süd 2009–10] {{in lang|de}} Weltfussball.de, retrieved 28 October 2010
In October 2010, another reform of the Regionalligas was decided upon. The number of leagues were now to be expanded to five, with the Bavarian clubs to leave the Regionalliga Süd and form their own Regionalliga Bayern. In their stead, the south western clubs from Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland would re-join the league. The new system is due to come into operation in the 2012–13 season. It was also decided to limit the number of reserve teams per Regionalliga to seven.[https://www.dfb.de/index.php?id=500014&tx_dfbnews_pi1[showUid]=25239&tx_dfbnews_pi1[sword]=Regionalligareform&tx_dfbnews_pi4[cat]=212 DFB-Bundestag beschließt Reform der Spielklassen (Reform of the league system)] {{in lang|de}} DFB website, published: 22 October 2010, retrieved 28 October 2010
In the 2010–11 season, SpVgg Weiden declared insolvency due to more than Euro 1 million in debts. Unable to raise enough funds to continue competing in the league, Weiden declared on 30 November 2010 that it would withdraw its Regionalliga team and thereby automatically be relegated. All games for the club in the 2010–11 season were declared void.[http://www.sport1.de/de/fussball/newspage_319195.html Insolvenz: SpVgg Weiden gibt auf] {{in lang|de}} www.sport1.de, published: 30 November 2010, retrieved 12 December 2010 The SSV Ulm 1846 suffered a similar fate, but was able to complete its fixtures as friendlies. Nevertheless, the club was relegated and its record expunged.
At the end of the season, the league became defunct with the Bavarian clubs joining the new Regionalliga Bayern while the remainder of the league members joined the new Regionalliga Südwest. The exceptions were the Stuttgarter Kickers, which were promoted to the 3. Liga, the FC Bayern Alzenau which, despite being from Bavaria, opted to play in the Regionalliga Süd/Südwest and Karlsruher SC II which was ineligible for the Regionalliga after the first team of the club was relegated to the 3. Liga. No other team was relegated.
