Season summary

Kaiserslautern repeated last season's fifth place finish.[1][2] The club could have aimed higher were it not for their poor defensive record - only the bottom four teams conceded more than Kaiserslautern's 59. Tragedy struck at the end of the season, as young defender Thomas Lechner was killed in a motorcycle accident.
