DFB-Pokal
The DFB-Pokal (German: Deutscher Fußball-Bund-Pokal) or DFB Cup is a German knockout football cup competition held annually. 64 teams participate in the competition, including all clubs from the Bundesliga and the 2nd Bundesliga. It is considered the second most important national title in German football after the Bundesliga championship.
The competition was founded in 1935, then called Tschammer-Pokal. The first titleholder were FC Nuremberg. In 1937 Schalke were the first team to win the double. The Tschammer-Pokal was suspended in 1945 due to World War II and disbanded with the demise of Nazi-Germany. In 1948 the cup was reinstated as the DFB-Pokal. Again FC Nuremberg won the first title. Bayern Munich have won the most titles, with 15 wins.
