Not too many surprises, as Bayern wins their (continuing) record 18th
Bundesliga title, their 19th overall. Schalke challenged for the the top,
and even seemed to be in control, but collapsed down the stretch. At the
bottom, the three crappiest teams did get relegated.

The 2.Liga was once again a dogfight, although Köln and Duisburg put
some distance midway and easily got promoted. Frankfurt managed to pip the
last spot, ensuring that only retreads head back up.
On the bottom, no great surprises, although Trier's last day relegation
was a bitter pill.
A major plus this season was attendance, as the 2.Liga broke the record,
surpassing 4 million spectators for the first time.
