Germany finally achieved its first win in the ENC since 26 April 2008, when it beat the Netherlands in Amsterdam on 27 November 2010. Its last victory in the European competition had come at the same place against the same opposition, just over 31 month earlier. It also won the following game, a friendly against Hong Kong, cementing its position as No 30 in the rugby world ranking. A loss in this game could have meant for Germany a drop as far as to position 37 in the ranking, instead, the country managed to cut down its deficit to 29th placed Ukraine.
Germany began its 2011 spring campaign with an unofficial friendly against a New Zealand Ambassadors XV, made up almost exclusevly of players from New Zealand

The German team continued its 2011 campaign with a third defeat in the third game, against Belgium in Brussels. Belgium lead 28-13 after 59 minutes but Germany clawed back to earn a bonus point in its 25-28 defeat.

In an attempt to improve the performance of the team it was decided to have weekly training sesions for the members of the national team, held at different locations. Germany started with an improved performance in its 2011 autumn campaign, defeating the New Zealand Ambassadors XV 19–17 despite fielding a number of uncapped players, a side it had lost to 19–43 eight month earlier.
The German team nominated eight new, uncapped players for the encounter against the Netherlands on 12 November 2011, which the team won 23–7, thereby making a major step torwards avoiding relegation.
In its second game of the 2011 autumn campaign, away against Poland, Germany took an 8–0 lead after 14 minutes but did not score another point after that. Poland scored 34 points after that of which 26 were scored by the Polish No 15, David Chartier.

before the first match of the campaign. Pieter Jordaan was also confirmed as the new vice-captain of the German team.
, Sven Wetzel

. Two more uncapped players, vice-captain Pieter Jordaan, who missed the game due to injury but hoped to play in the following game against the Netherlands and Dustin Eaton, who was part of the wider squad but not selected for the game, were originally also part of the squad.

Nico Kanning was part of the squad as a substitute, being the third uncapped player in the line-up, and was substituted in during the game, receiving his first cap.
In the friendly against Hong Kong, Bastian Himmer made his debut and scored his first international try, while another debutant, Jannis Läpple, came on as a substitute.
