Hansa Rostock 1-2 Erzgebirge Aue
Goals: 0-1 Kühn (19'), 1-1 Verhoek (pen. 37'), 1-2 Jonjic (66')

Still in the north of Germany, Hansa Rostock stumbled at home to Aue, who picked up three important points on the Baltic coast. Hanno Behrens was denied by the post as Rostock nearly raced into an early lead, but it was the guests who drew first blood when Nicolas Kühn struck. John Verhoek brought Hansa level from the penalty spot, but a Kevin Schumacher goal which would have put them in front was chalked off for offside. Antonio Jonjic then scored the decisive second goal for Aue midway through the second half, earning them a victory which takes them to within three points of their hosts.

Darmstadt 4-0 St Pauli
Goals: 1-0 Tietz (6'), 2-0 Manu (29'), 3-0 Pfeiffer (39'), 4-0 Pfeiffer (41')

St Pauli travelled to the Böllenfalltor as league leaders, but they were knocked off their perch within the space of 45 minutes by a Darmstadt side who took command of Bundesliga 2 with an impressive 4-0 win. Phillip Tietz opened the scoring after just six minutes, turning in Luca Pfeiffer's free-kick. Braydon Manu added a second on the half-hour mark and Pfeiffer scored two more in as many minutes to put the result beyond doubt come half-time. A stunned St Pauli could not summon a response, despite emerging from the dressing room with four new players, as Darmstadt replaced their rivals at the top of the table.

Dynamo Dresden 1-0 Fortuna Düsseldorf
Goals: 1-0 Daferner (pen. 43')

Dynamo Dresden ended a five-match losing streak with victory over Fortuna Düsseldorf. Christoph Daferner found the side netting with the game's first chance of note, before Rouwen Hennings returned fire for the visitors. The breakthrough came late in the first half when Christoph Klarer fouled Ransford-Yeboah Königsdörffer in the box, and Daferner dispatched the ensuing penalty. Dynamo's top scorer passed up the chance to add a second, but neither Khaled Narey nor Robert Bozenik could do any better at the other end as the hosts moved two points clear of the relegation play-off spot and level with Düsseldorf in the standings.

Heidenheim 2-1 Holstein Kiel
Goals: 1-0 Kühlwetter (1'), 1-1 Bartels (30'), 2-1 Leipertz (85')

Heidenheim climbed to within four points of the promotion places thanks to substitute Robert Leipertz's stunning late winner against relegation-threatened Holstein Kiel. Christian Kühlwetter scored inside 60 seconds to give the hosts the lead, but were punished for not making the most of further chances as Kiel hit back through Fin Bartels with half-an-hour on the clock. Alexander Mühling forced Heidenheim captain Patrick Mainka into a goal-line clearance early in the second half, but Kiel were on the backfoot for the remainder. Not long after Heidenheim substitute Stefan Schimmer drew a flying save from Thomas Dähne, the pressure told as Leipertz thundered in a quite brilliant long-range goal.

Ingolstadt 1-1 Karlsruhe
Goals: 1-0 Kobald (o.g. 27'), 1-1 Kother (42')

Ingolstadt remain rooted to the foot of the table, despite snapping a five-match losnig streak in a 1-1 draw with Karlsruhe. Maximilian Beister shot over with a minute on the clock as the hosts flew out of the traps, before taking a deserved lead when Thomas Keller's corner deflected in off Christoph Kobald. Beister failed to make the most of a promising counter soon after, and paid the price as Dominik Kother applied the finishing touch to a Marvin Wanitzek free-kick for 1-1. Mid-table Karlsruhe were the better side in the second half, but could not force a winner.
