Relegation matches

The relegation games were played in the " best-of-three ".

			series	1	2	3
EHC Freiburg	-	ES white water	2-0	4: 1	3: 1	-

The question of relegation was again not decided on the ice, but in the association offices of the DEB . The license of the EHC Freiburg was revoked for financial reasons. Since the association's decision was only made after the relegation and the Freiburg team prevailed against last year's relegated team and runner-up in the 2nd Bundesliga ES Weißwasser , the Schwenninger ERC , who were already relegated, were allowed to remain in the 1st Bundesliga. Freiburg's place was taken by SB Rosenheim , which returned to the first division with new sponsors after a one-year break.
