Season summary edit

Kaiserslautern rose to 12th in the final table. The highlight of the season was undoubtedly the team's 15–0 victory at fifth-tier FC Schönberg 95, which saw striker Carsten Jancker break the German record for the most goals scored in a DFB-Pokal match. However, manager Kurt Jara quit before the end of the season, citing irreconcilable differences with the club management. After a brief caretaker spell under 1. FC Kaiserslautern Amateure manager Hans-Werner Moser, the club turned to Michael Henke, former assistant coach of Bayern Munich, as his permanent successor.
