Clubs with the Most DFB-Pokal Titles (All Time)

About This Dataset

Football clubs ranked by total DFB-Pokal (German Cup) victories since the competition began in 1935. Bayern Munich dominates the DFB-Pokal with 21 titles — winning the cup alongside the Bundesliga in multiple domestic doubles that have made them the uncontested dominant force in German club football across all competitions. Werder Bremen and Borussia Dortmund trail significantly in second and third place, their cup records reflecting periods of domestic success that never matched Bayern's consistency.

✨ AI Insight

Bayern Munich's 21 DFB-Pokal titles showcase their unrivaled success in German football, creating a significant gap between them and the second-place Werder Bremen, which has only 6 titles. This disparity reflects Bayern's consistent performance and ability to maintain a winning culture, while other clubs like Borussia Dortmund and Schalke 04, both with 5 titles, have struggled to achieve the same level of sustained success. The trend indicates that Bayern's dominance is likely to continue unless other clubs can bolster their squads and strategies to compete at a higher level in the cup. The historical data suggests that while Bayern has been a constant force, the competition for the remaining titles remains fiercely contested among the other clubs.
