The 1. FC Köln returns to the Bundesliga after a year.
The Rhinelanders made the seventh rise of club history to the upper house on the last second division game day through the 4-0 (2: 0) against 1. FC Kaiserslautern. Hamburger SV had already returned Bundesliga last weekend.
Eric Martel (14th), Luca Waldschmidt (29th), Florian Kainz (76.) and Mark Uth (87th) scored for the team of coach Friedhelm Funkel, who had only taken over the position by Gerhard Struber two weeks ago. Waldschmidt (57.) awarded a penalty.
