Career
After the end of World World War II Oberländer played for BSG EHW Thale (later renamed Stahl Thale) in East Germany. During the 1950-1951 Oberliga season Oberländer scored 31 goals. Later that year, after scoring a total of 38 goals in 42 Oberliga games, Oberländer left East Germany.
He joined West German Oberliga Nord side Eintracht Braunschweig until his return to East Germany in 1956, where he continued to play for Stahl Thale until 1959.
Oberländer also represented East Germany five times during the early 1950s, scoring two goals. However, since those games were played before the East German Football Association became a Fédération internationale de football association member in 1952, they are not considered official internationals.
