The chronicles of 2006/07: Haters of Mainz love to linger in the chronicles of the 2006/07 season. It brought the club’s worst Bundesliga points tally, 34 points and direct relegation in 16th place. Mainz won only on matchday one of the first half of the season, then went 16 matches without victory, a club record.
The goal difference of minus 23 was their worst in the Bundesliga. Their heaviest Bundesliga home defeat, 1:6 against Werder Bremen, also came that season. And then, in November 2019, came the 0:8 in Leipzig — one of the club’s greatest humiliations.
