The1991–92 Bundesliga was the 29th season of theBundesliga, Germany's premier football league. It began on 2 August 1991[1] and ended on 16 May 1992.[2]1. FC Kaiserslautern were the defending champions.
As Germany had beenreunified on 3 October 1990, this was the first season that the Bundesliga contained teams from the formerEast Germany.[3]
Owing to the incorporation of two teams from former East Germany, the number of clubs was extended to 20, being reduced to the ″traditional″ number of 18 immediately after this one season. Hence, the season consisted of 38 matchdays. Every team played two games against each other team, one at home and one away. Teams received two points for a win and one point for a draw. If two or more teams were tied on points, places were determined bygoal difference and, if still tied, by goals scored. The team with the most points were crowned champions while the four teams with the fewest points were relegated to2. Bundesliga (to be replaced by just two teams from that league).
Bayer 05 Uerdingen andHertha BSC were directly relegated to the2. Bundesliga after finishing in the last two places. They were replaced byFC Schalke 04 andMSV Duisburg. Uerdingen and Hertha BSC were eventually joined in demotion by relegation/promotion play-off participantFC St. Pauli, who lost on aggregate againstStuttgarter Kickers.
Due toGerman reunification, teams from the formerDDR-Oberliga were also accommodated to the Bundesliga. These were the best two teams of the1990–91 season,Hansa Rostock andDynamo Dresden.
The season saw some surprises, includingHansa Rostock being at the top of the league table early in the season, andBayern Munich only finishing mid-table. On the final matchday, three teams had chances to win the Bundesliga title:Eintracht Frankfurt,VfB Stuttgart andBorussia Dortmund each had 50 points before kick-off, and all three had an away match to play. Frankfurt seemed to have the easiest task, but lost 1–2 to Rostock and only finished third. They were overtaken by Stuttgart who won 2–1 atBayer Leverkusen and achieved their 4th German championship. Dortmund won 1–0 atMSV Duisburg and finished second.
Despite their 2–1 win, Rostock were relegated, along withFortuna Düsseldorf, Duisburg andStuttgarter Kickers. Out of the teams that had been promoted from Bundesliga Two,FC Schalke 04 were the only one to stay in the league.Dynamo Dresden remained as the only team from Eastern Germany.
