The hosts scored three minutes before the break through Christian Gentner after Tasos Donis' 70-metre sprint set him up. Their joy lasted only seconds though as Berlin levelled in the 43rd when a fine first touch and shot by Suleiman Abdullahi caught the Stuttgart defence napping.
Substitute Mario Gomez put the hosts back in front after another fine run, carrying the ball 50 metres before netting helped by a deflection in the 51st. But again Berlin battled back, equalising through Marvin Friedrich's powerful header from a corner in the 68th.
Cologne and Paderborn won automatic promotion to the top division, while bottom side Nuremberg and Hanover 96 were relegated from the Bundesliga. (Reporting by Karolos Grohmann; editing by Ken Ferris)
