1991–92 2. Bundesliga
1. FC Saarbrücken and Bayer 05 Uerdingen were promoted to the Bundesliga. This was the first season to include teams from the former East Germany.
Set up
As a result of the assimiliation of six teams from the former East German Oberliga, the league was split into two groups - north and south. In each area, a normal round robin league (22 games) was firstly completed. After this the leagues were divided in half, forming a championship league and a relegation league which saw a final round of games between the teams (10 games). Both regional champions would be promoted and all teams in the bottom two would be relegated. The two third bottom teams would enter a play off league with the second placed Oberliga side to stay at this level.
