Team information VfL Bochum and Hertha BSC were directly relegated after finishing in the bottom two places. Bochum tied a current record with their sixth relegation from Germany's highest football league, ending a four-year tenure in the process, while Hertha BSC had to return to the second level after thirteen years. The relegated teams were replaced by 1. FC Kaiserslautern, champions of the 2009–10 2. Bundesliga, and runners-up FC St. Pauli. Kaiserslautern returned to the Bundesliga after four years, and St. Pauli re-entered the top division after eight years. A further place in the league was decided through a two-legged play-off. As in the previous year, 1. FC Nuremberg had to compete, although this time they were the Bundesliga team. FC Augsburg was the 2. Bundesliga's representative. As in the year before, Nuremberg won both matches on aggregate, 3–0, and defended their Bundesliga spot. This season is the third since reunification without any teams from the former East Germany. The other seasons were 2009-10 and 2005-06. Stadia and locations Two arenas, Mercedes-Benz-Arena and Millerntor-Stadion, are currently being reconstructed. The capacities of these two stadia for the 2010–11 season are not known yet, thus the respective 2009–10 capacities are listed.
