Hamburger SV wins the championship again with 22: 0 opening points, but loses playmaker Klaus Stürmer to FC Zurich . VfV Hildesheim - with the dangerous indoor trio Dieter Thun , Heiner Klose, Manfred Hufgard - creates 29: 1 points in the Friedrich-Ebert-Stadion at home - including the 3-0 win in front of 26,000 spectators on November 5, 1961 against HSV - and surprisingly ranks third behind vice Werder Bremen. Hannover 96, on the other hand, can only defeat Eintracht Nordhorn in their home games and are in 13th place. The promoted Bremer SV - with Arthur Dobat - and Eintracht Nordhorn - Otto Geisert scored 20 of the 42 Nordhorn goals - are making their way back to the amateur camp.
The list of goalscorers is led by Uwe Seeler (28), ahead of Gerd Koll and Peter Osterhoff with 27 goals each. He is followed Jürgen Moll with 26 and Dieter Meyer with 24 goals.

Course of the lap
From the start, the season was dominated by the duel between Schalke - Willi Schulz , Willi Koslowski , Hans Nowak , Bernhard Klodt - and Cologne - Karl-Heinz Schnellinger , Fritz Pott , Leo Wilden , Karl-Heinz Thielen , Hans Schäfer - even if Newcomers SW Essen ( Heinz Steinmann , Horst Trimhold , Theo Klöckner , Manfred Rummel ), RW Oberhausen ( Helmut Traska , Jürgen Sundermann , Hans Siemensmeyer , Karl-Heinz Feldkamp ) and Münster ( Klaus Bockisch , Herbert Eiteljörge , Hermann Lulka , Manfred Pohlschmidt ) themselves could raise legitimate hopes for second place at times. The relegation battle was also decided early, because after the first half series, old champions Duisburger SV ( Manfred Wacker , Wilfried Kohlars ) were seven points behind and SV Sodingen ( Werner Moldovan , Hans Lipka ) six points.
The list of goalscorers was headed by Manfred Rummel with 26 goals ahead of Karl-Heinz Thielen with 25 goals. Jürgen Schütz and Willi Bergstein followed with 20 goals each .

With the outstanding goalscorer Rudi Dörrenbächer - with 37 goals he led the list of goalscorers in the southwest - and the goal difference of 102-29, Borussia Neunkirchen won the championship for the first time ahead of FK Pirmasens and 1. FC Saarbrücken. With the 29 goals conceded, the master also provided the best defense under Alfred Preissler's coaching . The relegation of the two promoted Oppau and VfR Kaiserslautern was perceived as sensational. For this, Phönix Ludwigshafen and Eintracht Trier, two long-time league clubs, had to leave the class.
After Dörrenbächer, Reinhold Straus followed with 27, Rolf Fritzsche (24), Klaus Matischak (23) and Heinz Vollmar with 20 goals.

FC Nürnberg with coach Herbert Widmayer , prevailed again in the south and won the championship with the better goal quotient before Eintracht Frankfurt tied on points.
