TheOlympiastadion inBerlin has hosted the final since 1985 Thelist of DFB-Pokal finals contains all of the finals of theDFB-Pokal since the introduction of the competition as theTschammerpokal in 1935.
The finals of the DFB-Pokal usually take place at the end of each German football season. In some cases, like 1970 and 1974, the finals were held at the beginning of the following season due to theFIFA World Cup . The exact date has changed repeatedly over the years. Until 1984, the final was held at various venues, most often inFrankfurt ,Stuttgart ,Hanover , orDüsseldorf .
Since 1985, theOlympiastadion inBerlin has been the fixed venue for the finals. This will remain at least until 2020, as theDFB and the city of Berlin agreed on an extension to the contract expiring in 2015.[ 1]
After the introduction of theDFB-Pokal der Frauen in 1981 until 2009, the women's final has taken place immediately before the men's final in the same stadium (since 1985 theOlympiastadion ), barring the 1983 finals.
