 The Verbandsliga Hessen-Mitte is fed by the "Gruppenliga Hessen-Wiesbaden", and "Hessen-Gießen/Marburg".The winners of those are automatically promoted to the Verbandsliga, the runners-up play-off for another promotion spot.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.
