1st season of the Regionalliga as a third-level league
Football league season
The 1994–95 Regionalliga season was the first year of the Regionalliga as the third tier of German football . There were four regional sections, Nord , Nordost , West-Südwest and Süd , each with eighteen teams. Most teams qualified from the Oberliga , which dropped to become a fourth-tier league, while five teams were relegated from the previous year's 2. Bundesliga . In the Nord section, four teams were promoted from the formerly fourth-tier Verbandsliga .
The four regional champions were all promoted directly to the 2. Bundesliga . The four runners-up entered the Amateur Championship , which was not a promotion playoff. Twelve teams were relegated, although the amount per region varied depending on the teams relegated from the second tier.
This was the last season of two points for a win, before it was increased to three.
Regionalliga Nord
The Regionalliga Nord covered the states of Bremen , Hamburg , Lower Saxony and Schleswig-Holstein .
Teams
The division largely replaced the Oberliga Nord , with fourteen of the teams qualifying directly from that division. FC Bremerhaven , SC Concordia , Lüneburger SK and SV Wilhelmshaven all earned promotion from the Verbandsliga .
