When the Bundesliga was introduced in 1963, 1. FSV Mainz 05 did not qualify. The return to the second division was finally achieved in 1988. With a 3-2 win on the last matchday against Eintracht Trier, the club secured the third championship and also placed second in the southern group of the following promotion round. Bundesliga in the games against Viktoria Aschaffenburg, SpVgg Unterhaching and FV 09 Weinheim. Nevertheless, they were not promoted again because in that season the 2nd Bundesliga was reduced to one season and promotion to the second division was therefore suspended. In the last quarter of the season, however, the 05ers fell back into the relegation places and were relegated from the Bundesliga for the only time after three years at the end of the 2006/07 season.
At the end of the season, the FSV managed to stay in the league and the Weisenauers were relegated. The Mainz team started the round with just one point and 0:14 goals from eight games and after a change of coach to Wolfgang Frank, who, among other things, ensured that the 05ers were one of the first professional clubs in Germany to operate with a back four and zonal coverage In the second half of the season, no club had more points than 1. FSV Mainz 05. On the penultimate matchday, Mainz were in a non-relegation zone for the first time and ended up in eleventh place. The 05ers were caught up in one of the biggest German economic scandals to date. There was another exhibition in Germany from June 16th to August 12th, 2007 in Kiel in the Ostseehalle. AS Roma Italy 4:3 Germany Federal Republic 1. FC Nürnberg 1:2 3:1 in the competition – Mainz were only eliminated in the quarter-finals against 1. FC Nürnberg (0:3).

In the third division, the Mainz team was usually one of the top teams in the southwest, but also experienced one of the worst crises in the club's history when, in August 1982, the public prosecutor's office investigated the club for financial inconsistencies and at the same time the club's president, Jürgen Jughard, died in a car accident near Koblenz. It turned out that Jughard had embezzled funds from Deutsche Anlagen Leasing, of which he was the general representative, on a large scale for the association. Instead, in the newly founded Regionalliga Südwest, the club was mostly in the top group: in the first five years, the Mainz team came third once, fourth three times, and in 1966 they were only three points short of the Southwest Championship. Although Gebauer, with whom promotion to the Bundesliga was to be tackled in the medium term, left the club in 1971 due to his professional obligations as an official in the Federal Railway Directorate, the "direction of march" remained the same under his successor Bernd Hoss. Although Mainz 05 in the 2007 season /08 was in a promotion spot 20 times, the team – again in fourth place – missed an immediate return to the “upper house”.

There were nine stations along the route. Mainz, who were inexperienced in the Bundesliga, were immediately considered relegation candidates in the 2004/05 season, but the unsuccessful start against VfB Stuttgart (2:4) was immediately followed by a series that ended on the second matchday with a win against Hamburger SV (2:1 after a 0-1 deficit) and the six following games; The “defeated” included German champions Werder Bremen (2:1) and Champions League participants Bayer 04 Leverkusen (2:0). In the away game at VfL Wolfsburg (3:4 defeat after a 2:0 lead) on 11. On matchday, Mainz were even at the top of the table for a short time, and in the end, Mainz ended up in 11th place in the table as the best of the three promoted teams, after staying in the league had already been determined on matchday 32. The significantly rejuvenated team finished seventh in the table in the 1970/71 season after a good start (a 6-0 win against the reigning southwest champions SV Alsenborn on the second matchday) and revived the interest of Mainz football fans: after the 4-0 home win against Eintracht Trier, according to the local press, "young people were seen in the city with flags in the club's colors for the first time since the 1965 cup games."
