Wolfsburg won a relegation decider 3-1 at St. Pauli to send the home team down and qualify for a playoff where it will be favored against the third-place finisher from the second division to decide which plays in the top division next season. Heidenheim, which had been level with both Wolfsburg and St. Pauli going into the final round, needed a win at home against Mainz to keep alive its hopes but it slumped to a 2-0 loss. The last two are automatically relegated to the second division.
