VfB Stuttgart: Myth and drama in the DFB Cup final of history!
On May 24, 2025, VfB Stuttgart can look back on an impressive DFB Cup history. Every year the club's supporters keep their fingers crossed to win the coveted title. So far, VfB has been in the DFB Cup final six times and has triumphed three times, as [dfb.de] reports.
VfB Stuttgart's first two successes in the DFB Cup came in the 1950s. On April 17, 1954, VfB won the final against 1. FC Köln 1-0 after extra time. The decisive goal came in the 93rd minute by Erwin Waldner. Coach Gerhard Wurzer described the victory as a “typical cup fight”. Another memorable final followed on November 16, 1958, when VfB won 4-3 n.V. won against Fortuna Düsseldorf. Here too the lead changed and Lothar Weise scored the winning goal in the 113th minute.
Fateful years and challenges
In the decades that followed, the club experienced both triumphant and difficult moments in the DFB Cup. On May 3, 1986, the Stuttgart team clearly lost 2-5 against Bayern Munich after they had to replace their regular goalkeeper at short notice. A sobering game that was played in the Olympic Stadium in Berlin.
A year after the club was founded in 1997, VfB was able to win the title again with a 2-0 win against Energie Cottbus. Giovane Elber scored both goals. The 2007 cup final, however, had a bitter ending: VfB Stuttgart, who started as champions and favorites, lost 2:3 n.V. against 1. FC Nuremberg. Another narrow defeat followed in 2013, 2-3 against Bayern Munich.
