Gladbach were fined 9,000 euros after their supporters invaded the pitch at the end of a German Cup match at third division SV Darmstadt in August and used pyrotechnics at VfB Stuttgart in November.

Second tier Dynamo Dresden were fined 15,000 euros after their fans used pyrotechnics in a match at Arminia Bielefeld and lit sparklers at the end of the game.
