The 2011–12 DFB-Pokal was the sixty-ninth season of the annual German football cup competition. It commenced on 29 July 2011 with the first of six rounds and concluded on 12 May 2012 with the final at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin.

Since both finalists have qualified for the UEFA Champions League, the 2012–13 UEFA Europa League (group stage) spot was given to the fifth-placed Fußball-Bundesliga team.[1] Schalke 04 were the reigning holders, but they were beaten by Borussia Mönchengladbach in the Third Round.

Draw

The draws for the different rounds are conducted as following:[5] For the first round, the participating teams will be split into two pots. The first pot contains all teams which have qualified through their regional cup competitions, the best four teams of the 3rd Liga and the bottom four teams of the Second Bundesliga. Every team from this pot will be drawn to a team from the second pot, which contains all remaining professional teams. The teams from the first pot will be set as the home team in the process.

The two-pot scenario will also be applied for the second round, with the remaining 3rd Liga/amateur teams in the first pot and the remaining professional teams in the other pot. Once one pot is empty, the remaining pairings will be drawn from the other pot with the first-drawn team for a match serving as hosts. For the remaining rounds, the draw will be conducted from just one pot. Any remaining 3rd Liga/amateur team will be the home team if drawn against a professional team. In every other case, the first-drawn team will serve as hosts.

Round 1

The draw was made on 11 June 2011.[6]

As in the 2010–11 competition, Hallescher FC will have to move their first-round match against Eintracht Frankfurt to another ground because re-building of their own Kurt-Wabbel-Stadion has not yet been completed. After several attempts of moving the tie to other locations, including Paul-Greifzu-Stadion at nearby Dessau-Roßlau and Frankenstadion at Nuremberg, were unsuccessful because of security concerns,[7][8] the match will eventually be played at cross-town Stadion am Bildungszentrum, the current home ground of the club.[9] Anker Wismar will also have to move their tie against Hannover 96 from their own Paul-Bürger-Stadion because of security requirements. The match will be played at Lohmühle, Lübeck.[10] Other matches have been moved for capacity reasons, including FC TeningenFC Schalke 04 (to be played at Badenova-Stadion in nearby Freiburg),[11] SC Wiedenbrück 20001. FC Köln (to be played at Heidewaldstadion, Gütersloh),[12] SVN Zweibrücken1. FSV Mainz 05 (to be played at Waldstadion, Homburg)[13] and Germania Windeck1899 Hoffenheim (Sportpark Höhenberg, Cologne).[7] Headlines made Hamburg Cup winner Eimsbütteler TV, who lost almost its complete first and second teams because of disagreements over how to split the money earned from reaching the first round. ETV was forced to field a side predominantly made up of players from its under-19 side.[14]
