Despite the result, Jupp Heynckes's side still hold a 13-point lead at the top of the table.
The home side started strongly, but it was the visitors who took the lead on 21 minutes when Thorben Marx converted from the penalty spot following Jerome Boateng's handball.
Bayern were unhappy with the decision and a number of their players confronted the referee after the half-time whistle.
Bastian Schweinsteiger nearly levelled the scores in the early stages of the second half, but his effort was tipped away by Marc-Andre ter Stegen.
The hosts finally found an equaliser just before the hour as substitute Xherdan Shaqiri fired in from close range to score his first Bundesliga goal.
Bayern tried desperately to grab a winner, but they were denied by the heroics of Ter Stegen as he kept out efforts from Schweinsteiger and Franck Ribery.
