Relegated to the 2nd water polo league
(*) The sporty relegated Brambauer sued against the suspension of their player Patrick Siemund after the first relegation game against Brandenburg. The Brambauer were disadvantaged by a violation of the competition and implementation regulations of the DSV . The district court of Kassel then granted the Brambauern the class to remain in the German water polo league. So in the following season seventeen teams started again.
