If two or more teams were tied on points, places were determined by goal difference and, if still tied, by goals scored. The team with the most points were crowned champions while the three teams with the fewest points were relegated to 2. Bundesliga.Team changes to 1994–95

Bundesliga sides F.C. Hansa Rostock, FC St. Pauli and Fortuna Düsseldorf.Bayer 05 Uerdingen were renamed KFC Uerdingen 05 due to the retreat of main sponsor Bayer.
