Season summary

Although technically performing worse than they had the previous season in terms of points (the 1995–96 season was the first to use 3 points for a win), Mönchengladbach rose to fourth in the table. They also failed to retain the DFB-Pokal after elimination in the second round by Bayer Leverkusen, but did compensate with a run to the Cup Winners' Cup quarter-finals. This season was the last season until 2011–12 that Mönchengladbach would finish in the top half of the Bundesliga, let alone qualify for Europe.
