On the same day, the relegation of Carl Zeiss Jena was sealed by a 5-0 defeat at FC Erzgebirge Aue . On the 33rd matchday, 1. FC Köln were able to make their promotion to the Bundesliga perfect with a 2-0 win against 1. FSV Mainz 05 . In addition, the relegation of FC Erzgebirge Aue and SC Paderborn 07 was determined on this match day . A draw was not enough for both of them. Third promoted team was Hoffenheim in 1899 with a 5-0 win against SpVgg Greuther Fürth on matchday 34, while Kickers Offenbach was relegated to the third division as the fourth club.

The performance of the newcomers was particularly remarkable: All four clubs were able to keep their class, and in 1899 Hoffenheim even made it through to the Bundesliga.
