A total of 176 players were used in the 1980/81 season, 60 of whom did not miss a match.
A club was allowed to field two foreigners per competition, but not all clubs made use of this right.

The most successful player was Murray Chandler, who scored 12.5 points from 15 games on the top board of Hamburger SK in Hamburger SV, while Solingen top player Boris Spasski, Frankfurt Jürgen Haakert and Bochum Dirk Paulsen scored half a point less . With Klaus Tschauner from Munich and Oswin Heider from Hofheim, two players achieved 100% of the possible points, but both had only a few appearances; Tschauner was set up three times, Heider once.
Favorite Hammonia put in Luis Martin-Sommerfeldt (* 1964) both the youngest and Herbert Heinicke (1905-1988) the oldest player of the season.
