[edit] Changes from 2007-08

Starting with the 2008-09 season, only two teams are promoted automatically. Two-leg relegation playoffs between the third last team of the Bundesliga and the third team of the Second Bundesliga at the end of the regular season will be reintroduced.

Likewise, instead of formerly four teams only the two bottom teams are relegated to the new 3rd Liga automatically. The third last team plays a two-leg playoff against the third team of the third tier over the remaining place in the Second Bundesliga.
