Bayern Munich smashed Hamburger SV 8-0 as Pep Guardiola's side went six points clear at the top of the Bundesliga table in emphatic fashion at the Allianz Arena.
Thomas Mueller, Arjen Robben and Mario Goetze all scored two each for Bayern, with Robert Lewandowski claiming another and substitute Franck Ribery scoring on his return from a right thigh injury.
Muller got Bayern off the mark with a penalty in the 21st and Goetze pounced to make it 2-0 off a rebound two minutes later after Jaroslav Drobny saved Mueller's initial shot.
Robben maintained his rich vein of form with a wonderful curled strike in off the left post after eluding three Hamburg defenders in the 36th.
It was his 13th league goal of the season. The Dutch winger claimed his next two minutes into the second half, shooting a rare goal with his right foot when he beat Drobny at his near post.
Schweinsteiger set up Mueller to make it 5-0 with a curler inside the right post in the 55th, one minute before Mueller set up Robert Lewandowski's first goal of 2015.
Ribery scored on a rebound in the 69th and Goetze completed Hamburg's humiliation in the 88th.
In the other thrilling encounter, striker Bas Dost scored four goals including a stoppage-time winner to give Wolfsburg a 5-4 win at Bayer Leverkusen and on a day of high scoring in the Bundesliga, leaders Bayern Munich thrashed Hamburg 8-0.
Munich's victory meant they keep an eight point lead over Wolfsburg, who were moments away from falling further back from Pep Guardiola's side until Dost fired a late winner.
Wolfsburg surged to a 3-0 lead after half an hour, with Dost netting his first two goals of the game either side of a free kick from Naldo.
But Leverkusen's fightback was spearheaded by Son Hueng-min, who scored a hat-trick as four goals were scored in 10 minutes in the second half. Dost scored between Son's second and third to leave the scores at 4-3 and Karim Bellarabi equalised in the 72nd.
The match soon plateaued and appeared to be ending drawn, until Dost won it with a left footed strike from Vierinha's cross.
