Review and events edit

Hertha BSC were relegated during the 2011–12 Bundesliga season after losing to 2. Bundesliga club Fortuna Düsseldorf in the promotion/relegation playoff. The sports court and the Federal Court of the DFB confirmed the relegation after the club appealed the result of the second leg and lost both appeals.[1][2] The DFB also issued suspensions to several Hertha players—[3]Levan Kobiashvili was banned for a year, Christian Lell was banned for six matches, Thomas Kraft was banned for five matches and Andre Mijatović was banned for four matches.[3] Kobiashvili's suspension was reduced to seven and a half months and Lell's ban was reduced to 5 matches.[4][5] The suspensions were for an altercation with the referee during the playoff with Fortuna Düsseldorf.[3] Lell and Mijatović were eventually released by the club.[6] The club itself was also disciplined for its role in the events of the second leg of the playoff,[7] originally being issued a €50,000 fine and limited to 20,000 tickets sold for their league match against Paderborn 07.[7] The fine, however, was later reduced to €40,000 and the ticket sale limit increased to 27,500.[7] No tickets are allowed to be sold on the matchday.[7] The club was also ordered to spend an additional €40,000 on a non-profit program as part of the discipline.[7] Christian Lell, Andre Mijatović, Andreas Ottl and Patrick Ebert were all released from the club following the conclusion of the 2011–12 season.[6]

Hertha BSC participated in the 2012–13 edition of the DFB-Pokal, where it was knocked out in the first round by Regionalliga Südwest side Wormatia Worms.[8]

After its 1–0 win over SV Sandhausen on 21 April 2013, Hertha ensured direct promotion to the top-flight Bundesliga for the 2013–14 season.[9][10] They later secured the 2012–13 2. Bundesliga title after defeating 1. FC Köln 2–1 on 12 May, their third 2. Bundesliga championship.[11]
