Notes:

^ Rot-Weiß Lüdenscheid originally entered the Oberliga Westfalen at the beginning of the season, having been relegated from the 2. Bundesliga. However, following the withdrawal of Westfalia Herne from the 2. Bundesliga (due to the bankruptcy of their sponsor Goldin), Rot-Weiß Lüdenscheid were spared from relegation and exchanged places with Herne. Westfalia Herne had already begun the season, winning their first match 0–1 away to SC Herford (which was annulled following their withdrawal).
