Franck Ribery scored one and set up the other as leaders Bayern Munich came from behind to win 2-1 at Bochum and extend their unbeaten run to ten games.
VfL BOCHUM 1 BAYERN MUNICH 2
Bayern had Franck Ribery to thank for victory against stubborn Bochum, who had taken a deserved lead in the 11th minute when Dennis Grote beat Michael Rensing with a superb swerving shot.
Ribery got Bayern back level with a delicious back-heel between his legs 10 minutes before halftime. Ten minutes before the end of the second half the Frenchman teed up substitute Bastian Schweinsteiger for the winner.
HAMBURG SV 4 VfB STUTTGART 1
Ivica Olic scored a first-half hat-trick to leave the champions deeper in crisis.
Mohamed Zidan set up Olic for a great finish for the first goal in the seventh minute and slack defending saw the Croatian international steal in for two more close-range finishes to make it 3-0.
Pavel Pardo was sent off at the end of the first half to leave Stuttgart in further disarray and they fell 4-0 down with a Joris Mathijsen header on the hour mark. Serdar Tasci got one back in the 73rd minute to salvage a little pride.
NUREMBERG 5 EINTRACHT FRANKFURT 1
Nuremberg moved out of the bottom three with their best performance of the season.
Frankfurt had taken the lead in the 12th minute with a smart goal from Japan's Naohiro Takahara before the Nuremberg comeback began with a goal from Angelos Haristeas, after a well worked free kick.
Marek Mintal tapped in the second just after the break and a penalty from Zvjezdan Misimovic made it 3-0 in the 54th minute.
Mintal grabbed his second 10 minutes later and Josh Kennedy rounded off the scoring.
BAYER LEVERKUSEN 2 BORUSSIA DORTMUND 2
Leverkusen twice came from behind to salvage a draw from an entertaining game.
Mladen Petric put Dortmund ahead with a 15-metre volley four minutes before the break. Theofanis Gekas tapped in the first equaliser in the 52nd minute, following a great run from Paul Freier, before Petric restored the lead with his second following a mistake from defender Lukas Sinkiewicz.
Dortmund were holding on well before Stefan Kiessling nicked a point for the home side when he headed in with four minutes to go.
HANSA ROSTOCK 1 SCHALKE 04 1
A calamitous mistake from Schalke goalkeeper Manuel Neuer cost Schalke victory.
The visitors had taken the lead in the 33rd minute with a fine shot on the turn from Gerald Asamoah. They threw away their advantage when Neuer, on the edge of the area, rolled the ball straight to Marc Stein to chip it back over his head.
WERDER BREMEN 3 HERTHA BERLIN 2
Werder stayed on the Bayern trail with a fourth successive home win.
Hugo Almeida squeezed in a shot to put Werder into the lead in the 57th minute. Gilberto soon equalised for Hertha but within a minute Werder were back ahead as Markus Rosenberg embarrassed the keeper again at his near post.
Leon Andreasen gave Werder breathing space in the 74th minute and Hertha's second, through Solomon Okoronkwo in the second minute of added time, coming too late to spark a comeback.
