The Verbandsliga Hessen-Süd, until 2008 named Landesliga Hessen-Süd, is currently the sixth tier of the German football league system. Until the introduction of the 3. Liga in 2008 it was the fifth tier of the league system, until the introduction of the Regionalligas in 1994 the fourth tier.

Overview

The Verbandsliga Hessen-Süd was formed in 1965 as the Landesliga Hessen-Süd, a tier four feeder league to the then Amateurliga Hessen.

The winners of the Verbandsliga Süd are automatically promoted to the Hessenliga, the runners-up need to compete with the runners-up of the Verbandsliga Hessen-Nord and the Verbandsliga Hessen-Mitte and the 15th placed team of the Hessenliga for another promotion spot.

The Verbandsliga Hessen-Süd is fed by the Gruppenliga Hessen-Darmstadt, Hessen-Frankfurt West and Hessen-Frankfurt Ost. The winners of those are automatically promoted to the Verbandsliga, the runners-up play-off for another promotion spot.

Two Bavarian clubs play within the area of the Verbandsliga Süd. FC Bayern Alzenau and Viktoria Aschaffenburg have played in this league in the past. In 1992, FC Bayern Alzenau switched leagues, coming from the Landesliga Bayern-Nord straight across to the Verbandsliga Hessen-Süd and now, having been promoted, play in the Hessenliga. Viktoria Aschaffenburg have previously been promoted too, but as of the 2010–11 season will play in the Verbandsliga again.

Up until 1973 it was common for teams to move between Landesligen, resulting in the fact that some teams have won titles in two different Landesligen. This practice has since stopped.

Along with the renaming of the Oberliga Hessen to Hessenliga in 2008, the Landesliga was renamed Verbandsliga Hessen-Süd.
