I forgot all about this division, which is basically disappearing as it gets split up next year. So here is the (4th division) Regionalliga Süd…
No relegation, and Stuttgarter Kickers were pretty much in control from the start. Good to see them moving to the 3.Liga. A bunch of B-squads obviously meant that the number of attractive matches were severely reduced. Of interest are clubs like Worms, who did very well, and Pfullendorf, who did not. Hessen Kassel is a pretty well-known club that goes into bankruptcy everytime you turn around, and they startover with some combination of “Hessen” and “Kassel” in their name. Waldhof Mannheim is another one of those teams that have seen better days (7 seasons in the Bundesliga, 1983-90).
If I recall correctly, the southwest, Baden-Württemberg and Hessen will be combined, and Bayern will have it’s own league next season. The former should be interesting, since the SW and the Hessen/BW have never been together before completely. Some of the SW teams played in the West this year, so perhaps more regional derbies will help things out.

Just popping in to show my appreciation for your blog. As a german-o-phile (is that a word?) Nederlander living in England i try and get over to 3 or 4 games a year and I find this blog very informative. I adopted Union Berlin as “my” team – based on your guide to the clubs! But I’ve also enjoyed visits to F Dusseldorf, Schalke, Worms, TeBe and St Pauli. Next year I’m hoping to get to Erzgebirge Aue, FSV Frankfurt, Schwarz-Weiss Essen and Energie Cottbus. Keep up the excellent work!!
Schwarz-Weiss Essen? Have fun in my hometown, though.
