After Grischa Proemel put Union ahead four minutes from time, Lewandowski, the Bundesliga’s top scorer, scored his 13th goal in his 10th league game to salvage a point in 67 minutes.
Bayern have drawn their last two league games and Bayer Leverkusen can go to the top with a home win against Hoffenheim on Sunday.
The game in East Berlin was played behind closed doors, but Union fans launched a barrage of fireworks as the Bayern team bus arrived at the Alten Foersterei stadium.
Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer made a magnificent save after 52 seconds to deny Union Liverpool loan officer Taiwo Awoniyi.
Proemel beat Neuer shortly after when his deft header flew into the far post.
Union kept up the pressure when Awoniyi fired wide after missing both David Alaba and Jerome Boateng.
Moments later, the VAR denied Bayern a penalty appeal when Lewandowski fell after an elbow in the area that remained 1-0 at half-time.
Bayern leveled when Kingsley Coman dribbled past two defenders and squared the ball for Lewandowski, who scored the goal.
Munich had some late chances, but Union defended stubbornly.
The result keeps Bayern on top, tied at 24 points with RB Leipzig, who briefly topped the table after their 2-0 win over Werder Bremen earlier.
Union are still sixth, two points behind Dortmund, who lost 5-1 to VfB Stuttgart.
Dortmund’s ‘disaster’
Dortmund coach Lucien Favre admitted that the home loss, the worst since 2009, was a “disaster” for his title ambitions.
Congo winger Silas Wamangituka scored two goals in the fight that put pressure on Favre with fifth-placed Dortmund, now five points behind Bayern and Leipzig.
“Things went mercilessly wrong,” admitted Dortmund defender Mats Hummels.
“We shoot ourselves in the foot every few minutes.”
Dortmund have won just one point in their two league games since star forward Erling Braut Haaland was ruled out until January with a hip injury.
Unrelenting pressure from Stuttgart and sloppy defense from Dortmund saw the visitors score four unanswered goals in the second half.
“We are not a team that can defend well, that must be said quite clearly,” enraged Dortmund captain Marco Reus.
Wamangituka converted a penalty in the first half after Dortmund’s Emre Can brought down Mateo Klimowicz.
Dortmund leveled when a superb long ball by Raphael Guerreiro caught Giovanni Reyna, who skillfully finished off.
It was 1-1 at halftime, but the floodgates opened in the second period as almost all of Dortmund’s mistakes were punished with a Stuttgart goal.
Wamangituka scored his second goal eight minutes after the break, then Philip Foerster scored with a perfectly timed run into the box with one hour played.
Wamangituka picked up a missed pass from Dortmund and transferred it to forward Tanguy Coulibaly, who shot on target in the 63rd minute.
Reyna had a second goal disallowed by VAR before Nicolás González claimed Stuttgart’s fifth goal in added time.
The debacle is Dortmund’s toughest home loss since they were humiliated 5-1 at home to Bayern Munich in 2009.
Leipzig through Bremen
Fresh off Manchester United in the Champions League in the middle of the week, RB Leipzig beat Bremen 2-0.
Leipzig captain Marcel Sabitzer converted a penalty and Dani Olmo scored a goal in the first half for the hosts.
The home win capped a good week for Leipzig, whose 3-2 loss to United on Tuesday helped them reach the round of 16 in Europe.
Arsenal loan officer Matteo Guendouzi scored his first goal for Hertha Berlin in a 1-1 draw against Borussia Moenchengladbach, which he drew through Breel Embolo.
Freiburg ended their nine-game winless streak with a 2-0 win over Arminia Bielefeld.
Cologne remains just above the relegation places after their 1-0 win in Mainz, second from last place.
