The relegation to the 2nd league takes place between the 16th of the 2nd league and the 3rd of the 3rd league. Actually. Since leaders Bayern II are not allowed to rise, this season the fourth is allowed to relegate. Means: Braunschweig and Duisburg would rise according to the current status, Würzburg is tied with Duisburg and should be in the relegation. But Rostock (55 points) and Ingolstadt (54 points) still have chances. The games are on July 7th and 11th, which will be kicked off at 6.15pm. ZDF and DAZN show the games live on TV.
The relegation was reintroduced in 2009 after a long break. The third worst in the upper league plays against the third best team in the lower league in direct comparison.
