Bayern, who haven't played since Nov. 29, arguably paid the price for their unexpected long period between games following last weekend's match with Union Berlin being called off at short notice owing to heavy snowfall in the Bavarian capital.
Union put the break to good use, however, ending their run of 15 games without a win across all competitions by beating Borussia Mönchengladbach 3-1.
Benedict Hollerbach and Mikkel Kaufmann scored their first Bundesliga goals to lead Union to victory in coach Nenad Bjelica's first home game in charge.
Freiburg enjoyed a 1-0 win at Wolfsburg, Werder Bremen defeated Augsburg 2-0, and Heidenheim came from behind to beat Darmstadt 3-2 in the duel between promoted teams.
