The northern group included SV Einigkeit Aschaffenburg-Damm , KSV Neu-Isenburg , Sport-Union-Annen , ASV Mainz 1888 , Siegfried-Nordwest Berlin and ASV Heros Dortmund . In the southern group, ESV Sportfreunde Neuaubing , AV Germania Freiburg-St. Georgen , KSV Köllerbach , KSV Saarbrücken-Malstatt , ASV Schorndorf and SV Siegfried Hallbergmoos .

mode

Basically there is a preliminary round, which is played in at least two seasons, and a final round, comparable to a play-off round. The German champions are usually found in a final between January and March, with a preliminary and a rematch and both results are added together.
